Compact FIFO lanes behind the showroom. Call (617) 404-1171." lang: en --- Image: Pallet Flow Rack storage system inside a warehouse (https://bostonpalletrack.com/assets/pallet-flow-hero-DopNMGK8.jpg) Newton, Massachusetts # Pallet Flow Rack in Newton, MA Pallet flow rack in Newton usually has to share space with something else. Flex buildings on Needham Street and Wells Avenue mix showrooms, offices and light assembly with storage, so gravity lanes must fit a smaller back-room footprint. (617) 404-1171 When they fit, those lanes give specialty distributors rotation and separate loading from picking without taking over the building. Light assembly shops near Wells Avenue sometimes feed a workbench straight from the pick face. A short pallet flow rack lane beside the bench lets assemblers draw parts in the order received while stock is replenished from the rear without interrupting them. ## How We Approach a Newton Storage Room Newton consumer brands sometimes hold seasonal product that peaks for a few months. Flow lanes can be reassigned between seasons without moving steel; only the labels and the receiving instructions change. That flexibility is useful in a building where storage space is already shared with offices and a showroom floor, and where adding square footage is rarely an option. Our first Newton visit focuses on what the storage area must share. Where do customers walk? Which doors stay open? How do deliveries reach the back room? Answers decide whether pallet flow belongs there or whether simpler shelving makes more sense. When flow fits, we draw the lanes to scale, list every component and show cost per pallet position. Boston Pallet Rack is a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., a firm supplying and installing rack since 1997. Small rooms also mean small deliveries. We plan steel drop-offs around your showroom hours so customers never meet a forklift. Afterward, your staff gets a lane map they can post near the load face. ## Compact Gravity Flow Rack for Newton Flex Space A flex warehouse rarely has room for long lanes. Short runs of three to five pallets still put the oldest stock at the pick face and push replenishment to the back. The key test is access. Flow needs an aisle on each side of the lane block, and in a Newton flex building one side may be a demising wall. We check that before suggesting flow. ## Rotating Specialty Products in Pallet Flow Racking Specialty food, consumer brands and dated goods sold through a Newton showroom need the earliest stock out first. A gravity lane handles that automatically, which matters when a small team juggles sales, assembly and shipping. Each lane holds one item. Labels at both faces keep receiving and order staff aligned. ## Pallet Flow Racking Brakes, Slope and Pallet Checks Lane pitch is modest, and controllers manage the pallet's speed. A separator at the discharge end lets staff remove the front pallet without the next one pressing against it. We look at the pallets you actually receive. Mixed suppliers often mean mixed pallet designs, and some roll poorly on standard roller spacing. ## Riverside, Nonantum and the I-95 Corridor Buildings near Riverside and along the I-95 / Route 128 corridor sometimes offer more clear height than Newton Corner space. That can allow another level. For stock that never needs rotation, pushback rack in Newton (https://bostonpalletrack.com/service-area/newton/pushback-rack) uses one aisle. Small items picked by the case often belong in Newton carton flow rack (https://bostonpalletrack.com/service-area/newton/carton-flow-rack).
