Span-Track Drop-In Flow Lanes for Pallet Rack

Span-Track flow products are advanced gravity flow systems designed to enhance warehouse efficiency by providing seamless and reliable carton and pallet movement. These flow tracks can be integrated into various types of racking systems, offering a versatile solution for high-density storage and easy access to products. Span-Track systems utilize heavy-duty rollers or wheels, arranged on slightly inclined tracks, to enable cartons or pallets to glide smoothly from the loading end to the picking end. This gravity-based system ensures continuous product flow and supports a first-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory management approach, making it ideal for environments with high turnover rates.

Span-Track products are known for their durability and adaptability. They are constructed from robust materials that can withstand heavy loads and frequent use, ensuring long-term performance and reliability. These systems can be customized to fit a wide range of applications, from light-duty carton flow to heavy-duty pallet flow, and are compatible with existing racking structures. The ease of installation and maintenance, combined with the ability to improve picking speed and accuracy, makes Span-Track an excellent choice for warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities looking to optimize their storage and order fulfillment processes.

Top Considerations for a New Project Using Span-Track Flow Products

When planning a new project with Span-Track flow products, the first consideration should be a thorough assessment of the warehouse's specific needs and workflow. Determine the types and sizes of items to be stored, the volume of inventory, and the required picking speed. This assessment will help in selecting the appropriate Span-Track product—whether it's for light-duty carton flow or heavy-duty pallet flow—and in designing a system that maximizes efficiency and storage density. It's also crucial to ensure that the layout of the Span-Track system integrates seamlessly with existing racking and material handling equipment, facilitating a smooth and logical flow of goods.

Another key consideration is the installation and maintenance of the Span-Track system. Ensure that the chosen tracks are compatible with your current racking setup and that they can be easily installed without significant disruption to operations. Proper installation is vital for the system's performance and longevity, so consider professional installation services if necessary. Additionally, plan for some maintenance to keep the tracks clean and functional, preventing any obstructions or damage that could hinder the flow of goods. Safety should also be a priority; implement necessary safety features such as end stops to prevent items from falling off the tracks. Lastly, factor in the cost of the system, including any potential customizations, installation, and ongoing maintenance, to ensure the project is cost-effective and provides a good return on investment.
