During the design process, we’ll obtain information such as your SKU profiles, space restrictions, and picking processes. We’ll determine the required pitch based on your system’s length and height and pallet weight. This ensures that your pallets will seamlessly flow from the loading aisle to the picking aisle. If needed, we can conduct a test of the system to make sure that pallets will flow as desired.

Once all information is obtained, REB engineers will create a CADD drawing of your pallet flow system that suits all space and picking process requirements.
