Carton Flow Rack in Philadelphia
Urban fulfillment orders combine many small cartons; a Philadelphia pick line can lose more space to scattered pick faces than to reserve inventory. For Philadelphia businesses connected to I-95, the next storage decision needs to preserve access as well as recover floor space.
Carton Flow Rack in Philadelphia should solve that specific storage problem, not simply add steel. We compare pallet or carton dimensions, load weights, inventory depth and handling equipment before selecting a configuration. Your layout shows usable storage positions and the working aisles that remain. You can compare the investment against the space recovered before ordering.

Why Philadelphia Warehouses Work With Us
The Philadelphia operation described above has a different storage brief from a generic regional warehouse. I-95 and Northeast Philadelphia connect its deliveries, while the Navy Yard and the Port of Philadelphia help define the surrounding business activity. We consider those routes when discussing delivery windows and material staging, without assuming every building has the same dock access. Businesses supporting port freight, food distribution, manufacturing and urban fulfillment need the storage plan to follow actual loads and shipment patterns. That means asking which inventory arrives together, which items must remain accessible and how the next expansion will change the mix.
That local problem is the starting point for your carton flow rack layout: urban fulfillment orders combine many small cartons; a Philadelphia pick line can lose more space to scattered pick faces than to reserve inventory. We show how gravity wheel beds feeding cases to a fixed pick face changes access, replenishment and capacity in your Philadelphia building. We also account for restocking from the back aisle so the pick line keeps moving, rather than settling those details after purchase. Our connection to Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co. gives you a single project conversation covering layout, material selection and installation. You receive a drawing and itemized scope you can discuss with operations before committing to a configuration.

How Carton Flow Rack Works
Cases advance to the picker instead of the picker hunting for cases.
Inclined wheel beds
A full-width wheel bed or roller track sits on a slight incline inside a standard bay, so cases move forward under their own weight without power.
Pick from a fixed position
The picker always reaches for the same forward spot in the lane. Travel time drops, and so does the time spent searching for the next case.
Restock from behind
Replenishment loads the high end of the lane from a separate aisle, so restocking never blocks or slows the pick line, and rotation stays first in, first out automatically.
One lane per SKU
Lane dividers set the width for each case size, giving every SKU its own face - a width that can be resized as your product mix shifts.
What a Carton Flow Rack Project Includes
The project starts with the case list: dimensions, weight, whether the carton bottom is stiff or soft, and picks per SKU per day. Those numbers decide wheel bed style, lane width, and how much face each SKU is worth giving up.
From there we lay out the bay - how many flow levels, at what incline, and what sits above them. In most designs, the fastest movers get the golden zone at waist height, slower SKUs move to the upper or lower levels, and reserve pallets stack overhead in the same footprint.
The quote itemizes frames, beams, wheel bed or track, lane dividers, front stops, and shelf-level accessories, with the layout showing lane assignments by SKU. Installation sets the incline, tests case travel with your actual cartons, and adjusts before the line goes live.
The payoff is a pick line where cases present themselves, restocking stays out of the way, and lane widths can be reset whenever SKUs come and go.
For your Philadelphia project we also document the assumptions behind the drawing: available floor, clear height, load dimensions, handling clearances and the quantity of each storage position. If those inputs change, the layout is revised before materials are released. Delivery and installation are scheduled against your operating windows and material access. The finished plan gives your team a reference for future expansion, replacement components and the load configuration the system was designed to carry.
