Plan FIFO lanes around pallet weights and freezer temperatures. Call for a free CAD layout." lang: en --- Image: Pallet Flow Rack system in an industrial warehouse (https://wilmingtonpalletrack.com/assets/pallet-flow-hero-DopNMGK8.jpg) # Pallet Flow Rack in Wilmington, NC Pallet flow rack moves pallets from a loading face to a separate picking face on sloped rollers. For grocery and refrigerated food distribution serving the Port of Wilmington, Shipyard Blvd and Pender Commerce Park on US-421, this creates a first-in, first-out path for dated inventory. A pallet flow rack system must match both the pallet and the storage temperature. Strong cooler and freezer demand around Wilmington, Castle Hayne and the Blue Clay Road corridor makes lane density valuable, but roller selection, speed control and space for both working aisles decide whether the layout fits the operation. (910) 597-4473: 9105974473 ## Flow Racking for Grocery Rotation Dedicate each lane to one SKU and maintain loading order to support FIFO rotation. Lane depth follows receipt sizes and turns; lane count follows the number of items that need separate pick faces. The port's on-terminal cold storage is part of the region's refrigerated logistics network. For pork, poultry or sweet potato storage, tell us the actual pallet weights, temperature and lot-handling requirements rather than selecting lanes by product category alone. ## Pallet Flow Components Matched to Temperature 1 ### Test the weight range Specify the lightest and heaviest loaded pallet. Rollers, lane slope and speed controllers must work across that range at the stated operating temperature. 2 ### Check pallet contact Confirm pallet dimensions, bottom-board orientation and roller contact. Representative pallets help establish the lane arrangement before the component selection is finalized. 3 ### Allow load clearance Draw the roller slope and loaded pallet height at each level. Confirm forklift reach at the loading face and withdrawal clearance at the picking face.

We show those aisles alongside staging and columns in the CAD layout so the position count includes the space needed to operate. For cooler and freezer work, experienced installation crews we schedule and manage follow an agreed access sequence. Delivery and installation planning also accounts for hurricane-season interruptions from June through November. ## Recent Installations A sample of racking projects completed across the region.
