Pallet Flow Rack in Tucson, AZ
Pallet flow rack in Tucson, AZ is built for grocery, produce and cold storage, where the oldest pallet has to ship first. A pallet flow rack system loads from the back aisle, rolls pallets forward on gravity rollers, and picks from the front, so rotation is FIFO by design.
Flow racking also splits restock and pick traffic into separate aisles. That matters in busy food and beverage buildings around the airport and along I-10 in Southeast Tucson.
How Pallet Flow Lanes Are Sized
Each lane is a set of roller tracks pitched toward the pick face, with speed controllers to keep loads in check and a separator at the exit. Roller pitch and brake spacing follow pallet weight and the condition of the pallet bottoms.
Pallet weight range
Light and heavy pallets roll differently. We ask for the lightest and heaviest so the lanes behave at both ends.
Lane depth
Depth follows pallets per SKU and turns. Deeper lanes save aisles but take longer to restock.
Pick face
The front can feed a pick module or a lift truck. We plan it around how orders leave the building.


Flow Through Racking for Produce and Cold Storage
Nogales is the leading U.S. port by tonnage for fresh Mexican produce, and a lot of it is cooled, stored and re-shipped along I-19 and in Tucson. Flow through racking in a cooler or freezer keeps dated stock moving and keeps forklift trips short in a room that costs money to chill. Cold-storage installs get cold-rated components.
Grocery and food distributors near Valencia Rd and Palo Verde Rd use pallet flow for fast SKUs and pushback rack for slower ones. Up at the border, see Nogales and Amado.
Flow Racking System Quote and Installation
You get a CAD layout with lane counts and depths, then an itemized quote with lead time confirmed. Pallet flow is a high-density system and is not part of standard quick ship.
Experienced installation crews we schedule and manage set the frames, anchor them to the floor, install tracks and brakes, and run test pallets through each lane. Summer installs start early; during monsoon season (June 15 – September 30) we plan deliveries around storm days.
