Call (617) 404-1171." lang: en --- Image: Pallet Flow Rack storage system inside a warehouse (https://bostonpalletrack.com/assets/pallet-flow-hero-DopNMGK8.jpg) Boston, Massachusetts # Pallet Flow Rack in Boston, MA Pallet flow rack in Boston earns its floor space fastest where perishable product turns daily, and that describes much of the Newmarket food district. Pallets enter the high end of an inclined lane, ride gravity rollers toward the pick aisle, and stop against a separator at the low end. The oldest receipt is always the next one out. (617) 404-1171 ## Gravity Flow Rack for Newmarket Meat, Seafood and Produce Before quoting, we also ask how many trucks hit your dock before 7 a.m. That number tells us how many pick faces a morning wave really needs. A meat or seafood wholesaler near Newmarket Square cannot let a Tuesday pallet hide behind a Thursday pallet. In a flow lane, receivers load from the rear aisle while pickers pull from the front. The two crews never share the same face, so rotation happens without anyone thinking about it. Cold rooms change the design. Rollers, brakes and grease behave differently at freezer temperatures, so we specify components rated for the room you actually run. Lane slope that works in a dry warehouse can stall a frozen pallet with a cracked bottom board. ## Pallet Flow Racking Lane Depth, Slope and Speed Control Every lane is a balance between depth and control. A deeper lane stores more of one SKU behind each pick face, yet each added pallet position lengthens the run a load must travel. Speed controllers spaced along the lane keep a heavy pallet from arriving hard at the exit. Pallet condition matters more here than in any static rack. Missing boards, deflected stringers and plastic wrap trailing under the deck all slow or jam a gravity lane. We ask for your worst pallets, not your best ones, before we recommend roller pitch. ## Who We Are and How a Boston Project Starts Our team works as a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., which has been designing, supplying and installing rack since 1997. A Boston job begins with your SKU list, pallet weights and a walk through the room. ## Fitting Pallet Flow Racking Into South Boston Buildings Buildings near the Marine Industrial Park and Conley Container Terminal tend to be older and lower than the bulk boxes out on I-495. With a 20 ft clear height, two or three flow levels may beat four selective levels once aisle savings are counted. We draw both options so you can compare honestly. Harbor-side humidity and salt air are worth a conversation as well. A galvanized or coated finish on lane frames may make sense near the water, especially in rooms that are washed down often. ## When Pushback Fits Better Than Flow Not every deep lane needs first in, first out. Beverage or packaging stock without dates can sit in pushback rack for Boston warehouses (https://bostonpalletrack.com/service-area/boston/pushback-rack), which needs only one aisle. Case picking from the same reserve often moves to carton flow rack in Boston (https://bostonpalletrack.com/service-area/boston/carton-flow-rack).
