Carton Flow Rack in Kent, WA
E-commerce case lines along S 196th St need replenishment stock behind the pick face without blocking the next order wave. Carton flow presents cases at a fixed pick position while replenishment works from the rear. It improves the picking layout, not whole-pallet density, and each lane must suit the cartons that actually move through it.
For your Kent building, we review case dimensions, carton stiffness, case weights, pick frequency and the space available for replenishment before proposing a layout. Start with a Free Design Consultation and compare the working plan before committing to new equipment.
Why Kent Warehouses Work With Us
Large warehouse footprints do not remove the need to protect outbound staging, separate replenishment traffic and reserve positions for seasonal inventory. Around Kent Valley, S 196th St and West Valley Hwy, the carton flow rack decision starts with how the building is used today: where loads arrive, which orders need immediate access and where staff or equipment share a route. E-commerce case lines along S 196th St need replenishment stock behind the pick face without blocking the next order wave.
third-party logistics, aerospace supply and refrigerated distribution all use space differently. Access around SR-167, I-5 and the Green River industrial corridor matters to the delivery or transfer plan, but the design still comes back to case dimensions, carton stiffness, case weights, pick frequency and the space available for replenishment. During the free consultation we compare usable positions with operating space, and explain what changes if the inventory mix grows or a handling truck is replaced.
Seattle Pallet Racks is part of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co. Your Kent team has a point of contact for layout revisions, the written scope and scheduling questions. We work through practical details before material arrives, including where each delivery can be staged without blocking your dock. After handover, keep the approved drawing and contact us before changing loads, levels or the layout.

How Carton Flow Rack Works in Kent
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
A carton flow rack project in Kent begins with a review of case dimensions, carton stiffness, case weights, pick frequency and the space available for replenishment. We use building drawings and verified measurements to establish usable height, obstructions, column positions and access routes. For a site around SR-167, receiving windows and staging areas are included in that conversation so the installation plan is grounded in how your operation runs.
Wheel beds or roller tracks, lane dividers, front stops and shelf elevations are specified by case family. Fast movers receive enough lane capacity to last between replenishment rounds. Where reserve pallets sit above the pick levels, the frame and beam configuration is checked as one complete system rather than treating the flow inserts as an independent shelf.
You receive a layout, a counted storage or picking plan and an itemized scope that separates equipment, delivery and installation. New material is specified for any additional rack. Experienced installation crews we schedule and manage follow the agreed layout, and the rack is anchored to the floor. Our team handles the permit side for you.
Actual cartons are tested for travel, hang-ups and safe presentation. Lane width and pitch are adjusted before the picking team takes over. Work can be sequenced by agreed zones when the site allows it. Your Kent operations lead confirms which routes must stay open and when inventory may enter completed areas. The handover records the final configuration, operating limits and remaining actions, giving your team a practical reference for future changes rather than only a delivery receipt.
