Gravity lanes feed cases to the picker. Call (217) 598-4023." lang: en --- Image: Carton Flow Rack system in an industrial warehouse (https://springfieldpalletrack.com/assets/carton-flow-hero-y0vnsglk.jpg) # 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. (217) 598-4023: 2175984023 ## 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.

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. ## Carton Flow Around Central Illinois We plan carton flow for parts manufacturers in Shelbyville (https://springfieldpalletrack.com/service-area/shelbyville), aftermarket parts in Peoria (https://springfieldpalletrack.com/service-area/peoria) and last-mile users near Riverton (https://springfieldpalletrack.com/service-area/riverton). Moving your pick line? Our warehouse relocation (https://springfieldpalletrack.com/warehouse-relocation) crew can move carton flow and reset it in the new building. ## Get a Carton Flow Layout Send the basics and we will come back with a layout and an itemized quote.
