Pallet Flow Rack in Shawnee, KS
Wholesale distribution near Shawnee Mission Parkway may need to ship older dated receipts while new inventory continues arriving. A separate replenishment path prevents each inbound pallet from changing the intended outbound sequence. We connect lot rotation to the lane design: pallet bottoms, weight range, loading frequency, and discharge rate all affect travel. The plan reserves access at both ends and allows for brakes and separation. A FIFO drawing alone is not enough; the pallet pool must work with the selected rollers, and the pick end must keep pace with replenishment. Pallet Flow Rack is evaluated against the way your Shawnee inventory moves, not just the available square footage.

Why Shawnee Warehouses Work With Us
Nieman Road and Woodland Business Park serve a different working pattern from the larger freight-facing sites along K-7. Contractor collections and service-parts orders can require direct access early in the day while reserve deliveries arrive later. The drawing should distinguish those windows and product zones. Long plumbing or HVAC material also needs its own handling clearance instead of being left between the rows used for daily boxed orders.
We connect lot rotation to the lane design: pallet bottoms, weight range, loading frequency, and discharge rate all affect travel. The plan reserves access at both ends and allows for brakes and separation. A FIFO drawing alone is not enough; the pallet pool must work with the selected rollers, and the pick end must keep pace with replenishment. The local plan also accounts for access along the K-7 and Shawnee Mission Parkway corridor, delivery space, and the difference between a receiving window and a storage window. We ask your team to confirm those constraints from the building information and daily schedule.
As a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., we put the layout, material list, and installation scope in front of you together. You get a free design consultation, an itemized quote, and installation teams we manage, with one contact for revisions, scheduling, and replacement parts. We explain the tradeoffs before the purchase and keep the approved configuration available for later changes.

How Pallet Flow Rack Works
Load one side, pick the other, and let gravity enforce first in, first out.
Load end
Pallets enter at the high end of the lane. Each new pallet stages behind the one before it, so put-away is a single move made from the load-side aisle.
Gravity conveyor
Full-width rollers or skate-wheel tracks, set on a pitch calculated for the pallet weight, carry loads forward under control rather than free rolling.
Braking and separation
Brake rollers and pallet separators regulate travel and stop pallets from bunching, protecting both the product and the structure underneath it.
Pick end
Pickers work a face of first-in pallets. Pull one and the next indexes forward automatically, so the pick aisle stays organized without anyone re-facing stock.
What a Pallet Flow Rack Project Includes
For this Shawnee project, the first discussion covers light manufacturing inventory, access near K-7 corridor, and the building information you provide. We connect lot rotation to the lane design: pallet bottoms, weight range, loading frequency, and discharge rate all affect travel. The plan reserves access at both ends and allows for brakes and separation. A FIFO drawing alone is not enough; the pallet pool must work with the selected rollers, and the pick end must keep pace with replenishment.
Flow racking is sized per lane, not pulled off a shelf. Pallet weight, deck condition, bottom-board orientation, and desired lane depth all drive the roller or wheel selection and the pitch calculation, so the first step is pinning down exactly what's moving through the lane.
From there we set lane count and depth against your throughput. Fewer, deeper lanes maximize storage; more, shallower lanes give the pick face more SKU variety. Both versions get modeled with position counts so the tradeoff is visible before you buy, not learned after.
The itemized quote covers frames, beams, rail and roller assemblies, brakes, entry and exit guides, and guarding. At installation the crew sets pitch, tests loaded travel in every lane, and tunes brakes before the system goes live.
Afterward you have documented capacities, a lane map your team can hand to new hires, and a contact for future layout changes or additional storage lanes.
Before delivery is committed, we review the receiving window, unloading responsibilities, and available staging area with your team. The approved layout and component list are used to agree the installation sequence; a phased approach is assessed against your shipping schedule rather than promised automatically. Any changes to pallet weights, handling equipment, or inventory mix are reviewed before loading the completed system. Keep the configuration and capacity information with the operating team so later beam moves or added levels are checked against the rated arrangement.
