Roller Track
Works well when handling single face pallets, Euro-style pallets with bottom boards parallel to flow, plastic pallets with feet; ideal for heavier loads.
Wheel Track
Staggered wheel-type flow rail is commonly used to handle “wrong way” GMA-style wooden pallets (with bottom boards perpendicular to flow).
Who Can Benefit from Pallet Track?
Pallet Track is a versatile and efficient solution for streamlining pallet storage and picking processes. With its First-In-First-Out (FIFO) system, it provides benefits across various industries, offering increased storage density and improved workflow efficiency.
-
Manufacturing: Pallet Track enables efficient storage of raw materials and finished goods, helping manufacturers maintain continuous flow in production lines. It optimizes space and reduces forklift travel times, supporting lean manufacturing principles by minimizing waste and improving operational efficiency.
-
Order Fulfillment Centers: For fast-paced order fulfillment operations, Pallet Track provides a high-density storage solution that ensures easy access to fast-moving SKUs. Its FIFO design improves inventory turnover, reducing time spent searching for and retrieving pallets, while increasing pick and pack speed.
-
Retail Warehouses and Distribution Centers: Pallet Track helps retail distribution centers manage high volumes of palletized goods efficiently. It allows for streamlined loading and unloading of inventory, ensuring stock moves quickly from the backroom to the retail floor or customer pick-up locations.
-
Third-Party Logistics Providers (3PLs): Pallet Track is an ideal solution for 3PL providers who manage diverse client needs. It offers flexible storage that can be easily reconfigured for different pallet types and SKU sizes, allowing 3PLs to maximize warehouse capacity while reducing labor costs associated with order fulfillment.
How Pallet Track Supports Efficient Warehouse Operations
Pallet Track is engineered to enhance storage density and operational efficiency, supporting a wide range of industries by optimizing pallet flow and inventory management. These dynamic storage systems offer significant benefits in the following ways:
-
Elimination of Waste: Pallet Track enables First-In-First-Out (FIFO) inventory management, reducing the need for excessive handling and minimizing damage. By allowing pallets to flow directly to the pick face, it eliminates unnecessary movement and travel, resulting in faster picking and less downtime.
-
Continuous Flow: Pallet Track uses gravity to facilitate smooth pallet movement, ensuring that products move seamlessly from loading to picking. This allows for uninterrupted workflow, whether you're handling fast-moving SKUs or managing inventory in tight spaces.
-
Maximized Storage Density: The dynamic design of Pallet Track significantly increases storage density by utilizing vertical space and eliminating the need for static, scattered pallet storage. This means you can store more SKUs in a smaller footprint, making the most of your available space.
-
Labor Efficiency: By reducing forklift travel time and simplifying pallet access, Pallet Track cuts labor costs and increases productivity. Pallets are picked from one end and loaded from the other, ensuring quick and ergonomic access without requiring workers to move around the warehouse.
