Carton Flow Racking Solutions for Henderson Warehouses

Henderson is Clark County's second-largest city and a major industrial center in the southern Las Vegas Valley. The city's industrial parks along I-215 and US-95 host manufacturing, distribution, and logistics operations, with a growing presence of advanced manufacturing and technology companies.

Henderson's location in the Mountain West means seismic design is a real consideration for warehouse racking installations. Every Carton Flow Racking system we install meets local building code requirements, including IBC seismic provisions where applicable.

Carton flow racking, also called case flow racking, uses inclined roller or wheel tracks to gravity-feed cartons from the replenishment aisle to the pick face, creating a continuously replenished, first-in, first-out pick front. As a picker removes a carton from the pick face, the next carton in the lane slides forward automatically, eliminating the need for pickers to reach into the shelf or reposition product. Carton flow is a core component of modern pick module design and one of the most effective ergonomic improvements a distribution center can implement, reducing picker travel time by up to 50% compared to static shelving. The productivity case for carton flow is well-established. In a traditional static shelving pick environment, pickers travel the full length of the pick aisle and reach into shelves at varying depths to retrieve each item. In a carton flow environment, the pick face is always full, product is always at the front of the lane, and the ergonomic pick position is consistent, reducing both travel time and the physical strain of deep-reaching into shelves. For high-velocity SKUs in particular, the constant forward presentation of fresh inventory enables a picking rhythm that static storage cannot match. Rocky Mountain Warehouse Solutions designs and installs carton flow systems as standalone pick bays or as part of complete multi-level pick modules with conveyor integration. We specify wheel track spacings and lane widths based on your carton size profile, configure lane depth based on replenishment frequency, and integrate the system with your WMS pick locations. Systems are installed on standard teardrop pallet rack frames in most cases, making carton flow a cost-effective upgrade to an existing racking investment.

Carton Flow Racking is especially valuable for Distribution and logistics in Henderson, where companies need dependable systems for Pick module design. Rocky Mountain Warehouse Solutions helps businesses plan, install, and optimize systems that support long-term warehouse performance.

We work with companies across Clark County and nearby service areas to deliver practical, durable solutions built for industrial environments.

Technical Specifications & Buying Guide

Carton flow systems use either wheel tracks (rollers with individual plastic wheels on a steel axle) or skatewheel tracks (continuous rows of small plastic wheels) to support and move cartons down the inclined lane. Wheel track spacing (the distance between parallel tracks) is selected based on the minimum carton width in the system. For a mix of carton sizes, adjustable wheel track systems allow lane width to be changed without replacing components. Track inclination is typically 3/8 to 5/8 inch per foot, providing enough gravity to move cartons forward without excess speed at the pick face.

Lane depth in carton flow is determined by your replenishment cycle. If a replenishment operator restocks lanes once per shift, lanes should be deep enough to hold a full shift's worth of picks for each SKU without running empty. For high-velocity SKUs, this may mean 8–12 carton deep lanes; for slower-moving SKUs, 3–5 carton depth is typically sufficient. Lane dividers allow a single shelf level to accommodate multiple lane widths, maximizing the number of pick faces per vertical foot of racking height. Ergonomic pick heights, typically 28 to 52 inches above the floor, are the most productive and should be assigned to the highest-velocity SKUs.

Carton flow integrates naturally with pick-to-belt and pick-to-conveyor systems. In a pick module, the carton flow pick face is positioned directly above or adjacent to the take-away conveyor, allowing pickers to immediately deposit picked items onto the belt without carrying them. The separation of replenishment (from the back aisle) and picking (from the front aisle) allows replenishment and picking to occur simultaneously without congestion, further improving throughput. Lane position indicators, put-to-light systems, and pick-to-light systems are commonly integrated with carton flow to guide pickers and reduce errors in high-SKU-count environments.

Frequently Asked Questions About Carton Flow Racking in Henderson

What is the difference between carton flow and pallet flow?

Carton flow handles individual cartons and cases using wheel or roller tracks sized for case dimensions (typically 4–24 inches wide). Pallet flow handles full pallets on heavy-duty roller lanes. Carton flow is used in piece-pick and case-pick operations; pallet flow is used for bulk pallet storage and replenishment.
