Free layout consultation, clear scope and installation planning.

Floor stacks provide density but make older pallets costly to retrieve and expose product to extra handling. Pallet flow rack moves loads from a receiving face to a separate picking face on controlled gravity lanes. It supports first-in, first-out movement within the assigned lane, but does not eliminate the need for lot separation or suitable pallets. Our consultation checks weight range, bottom-board condition, throughput, and lane occupancy before choosing rollers and brakes. Combine controlled FIFO travel with lanes specified for the actual storage temperature. Start with your building drawing and current load information so the proposal addresses the immediate bottleneck rather than selling capacity you cannot use. (314) 338-4815: 3143384815 ## Why Hazelwood Warehouses Work With Us Planning around Hazelwood Logistics Center, Howdershell, and James S. McDonnell Boulevard starts with how the local operation handles material, not with a standard rack diagram. Airport-oriented freight, aerospace suppliers, automotive operations, and cold-chain businesses share this North County corridor. Inbound materials can turn quickly, while reserve inventory follows a different rhythm. Staging room, identifiable positions, and truck maneuvering need to remain visible in the design rather than becoming leftover space between rack rows. For this project, the central decision is straightforward: combine controlled FIFO travel with lanes specified for the actual storage temperature. Flow through racking needs working room at both ends, and that room belongs on the drawing just as much as stored positions do. We compare deeper lanes with a larger number of shorter lanes so rotation, SKU variety, and daily dispatch can be evaluated together. Loaded travel testing and clear lane assignments are part of the handover discussion. As a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., St. Louis Pallet Racks gives you a single point of contact for the free warehouse consultation, layout revisions, component questions, and installation planning. We explain what is included, identify unresolved measurements, and keep changes visible in an itemized quote. If your operating priorities change, the drawing is reviewed before material is released rather than leaving your team to work around a surprise. - Free warehouse consultation - CAD layout with storage counts - One contact for layout, delivery, and installation Image: Pallet flow rack lanes with gravity rollers installed (https://stlouispalletracks.com/assets/pallet-flow-rack-2-IPjxgmn1.jpg) Image: Flow racking system loaded with pallets at the pick face (https://stlouispalletracks.com/assets/pallet-flow-hero-DopNMGK8.jpg) ### Local Project Context Hazelwood Logistics Center, Howdershell industrial, James S. McDonnell corridor. Planning around the I-270 and Lindbergh corridor near the airport. ### Operations We Support Aerospace suppliers · Automotive · Cold chain distribution · Freight forwarding ## How Pallet Flow Rack Works Load one side, pick the other, and let gravity enforce first in, first out. 1 ### Load end Pallets enter at the high end of the lane. Each new pallet stages behind the one before it, so put-away is a single move made from the load-side aisle. 2 ### Gravity conveyor Full-width rollers or skate-wheel tracks, set on a pitch calculated for the pallet weight, carry loads forward under control rather than free rolling. 3 ### Braking and separation Brake rollers and pallet separators regulate travel and stop pallets from bunching, protecting both the product and the structure underneath it. 4 ### Pick end Pickers work a face of first-in pallets. Pull one and the next indexes forward automatically, so the pick aisle stays organized without anyone re-facing stock. ## What Your Pallet Flow Rack Project Includes We review how inbound batches reach the load face and how outgoing orders leave the pick end, keeping staging and turning space visible on the plan. A deep lane that stores the required count can still be unsuitable if lot separation needs more faces. The comparison makes those operating differences explicit and records the test loads needed before commissioning the supplied lanes. Flow racking is engineered per lane, not pulled off a shelf. Pallet weight, deck condition, bottom-board orientation, and desired lane depth all drive the roller or wheel selection and the pitch calculation, so the first step is pinning down exactly what's moving through the lane. From there we set lane count and depth against your throughput. Fewer, deeper lanes maximize storage; more, shallower lanes give the pick face more SKU variety. Both versions get modeled with position counts so the tradeoff is visible before you buy, not found after. The itemized quote covers frames, beams, rail and roller assemblies, brakes, entry and exit guides, and guarding. At installation the crew sets pitch, tests loaded travel in every lane, and tunes brakes before the system goes live. Afterward you have documented capacities, a lane map your team can hand to new hires, and a local contact for brake rollers and wheels as the system racks up cycles. ### What We Need to Plan It - Do you need strict pallet-level FIFO, or is lane-level rotation enough? - How many pallets per SKU move through in a typical week? - What's the pallet weight range, and what condition are pallets usually in? - How deep can lanes run in your footprint? - Is the storage area ambient, cooler, or freezer? ### Where This Service Fits - Date-coded food, beverage, and pharmaceutical inventory - High-volume SKUs with steady, predictable turns - Cold storage where every cubic foot carries a cost - Staging finished goods coming off a production line - Operations that need FIFO documented, not just assumed ## Recent Installations A look at pallet rack installations our crews have completed for warehouses across the St. Louis metro area.
