Call (617) 404-1171." lang: en --- Image: Pallet Flow Rack storage system inside a warehouse (https://bostonpalletrack.com/assets/pallet-flow-hero-DopNMGK8.jpg) Haverhill, Massachusetts # Pallet Flow Rack in Haverhill, MA Most pallet flow rack in Haverhill goes into two very different building types: newer distribution space in Ward Hill Industrial Park along I-495, and older brick industrial floors near Broadway and the Riverside area. The lane design changes for each, but the goal stays the same. (617) 404-1171 Gravity carries each pallet from the load aisle to the pick aisle, and first in becomes first out. Light manufacturers in the Riverside section sometimes stage components for assembly in flow lanes as well. The line side becomes a pick face, and receiving refills the far end between production runs. ## Sizing Pallet Flow Rack Lanes to Haverhill Inventory Lane width matters as much as depth. Standard 48 by 40 inch pallets travel best in lanes built for that footprint, and oversize or odd pallets need their own lanes. Mixing sizes in one lane is a common cause of hang-ups we are asked to fix. If your Ward Hill receiving includes export pallets or half pallets, tell us before the layout is drawn. Before any drawing, we count. How many pallets of each SKU sit in the building on an average day, and how many on your heaviest day? A lane sized to the average leaves overflow on the floor during peaks; a lane sized to the peak sits partly empty most weeks. Haverhill wholesalers along I-495 usually land between those extremes. We show the tradeoff in positions and dollars so you choose deliberately. Our parent, Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., has supplied and installed rack since 1997, and Boston Pallet Rack is a division of it. That background shapes the questions we ask. ## Ward Hill Distribution and Pallet Flow Racking Ward Hill buildings serving e-commerce and wholesale accounts can often fit taller lanes. That allows more flow levels and longer runs per SKU. For operators shipping steady volumes up and down I-495, a block of deep lanes can hold a week of fast movers behind a few faces. Lane length still has limits. Longer runs need more braking and more careful pallet inspection. ## Gravity Flow Rack on Older Broadway Floors Older Haverhill buildings near Broadway often have column grids that interrupt long rows. Flow lanes need uninterrupted depth plus an aisle at each end, so we start by measuring column centers and finding runs that fit. When the grid is too tight for deep lanes, short three-pallet lanes still separate loading from picking. Sometimes that alone fixes the congestion problem. ## Brakes, Separators and Pallet Inspection Three parts carry most of the load in a gravity flow rack: the rollers, the speed controllers and the exit separator. Rollers move the pallet, controllers limit its speed, and the separator holds back the next pallet during retrieval. None of those parts can compensate for a broken pallet. We recommend that receiving teams inspect pallets and restack damaged loads before they enter a lane. ## Choosing Between Flow and Pushback in Haverhill Flow uses two aisles and costs more per position. Haverhill pushback rack (https://bostonpalletrack.com/service-area/haverhill/pushback-rack) uses one aisle but stores last in, first out. Light manufacturers picking parts by the case should also look at carton flow rack in Haverhill (https://bostonpalletrack.com/service-area/haverhill/carton-flow-rack).
