Carton Flow Rack in Springfield, IL
Carton flow rack uses inclined wheel beds to feed cases from the restock aisle to a fixed pick face. Pickers stay in one lane and never reach into a deep shelf. For e-commerce and parcel operations picking eaches and cases, it speeds every order.
Last-mile and 3PL distribution serving central Illinois is growing, and carton flow is how those pick lines keep up.
E-Commerce and Parcel Picking
Fast movers get carton flow lanes at waist height, nearest the pack stations. Slow movers go higher or to shelving. Lane widths are set from your case sizes, not a standard bay, so each SKU gets just the space it needs.
Reserve pallets sit on selective rack above the carton flow. Replenishment is a short forklift trip, and restocking happens from the back without interrupting pickers.
Pick Lines in Springfield
Newer last-mile distribution on the north and northeast side, along North Dirksen Parkway and Sangamon Avenue near the I-55 / I-72 junction, is where carton flow fits most naturally. Springfield is also the regional medical center for central Illinois, and medical supply operations pick many small items daily.
Summer heat in buildings without air conditioning wears on pick crews. Shorter walks and waist-height picking help. We place the busiest lanes near doors and fans where possible.
