Raise Up Your Floor-Mounted Pallet Flow with Customized Floor Supports

There are two options when mounting pallet flow rails to the floor --1. Level, push-assisted, or 2. Sloped, gravity-fed. If you flush-mount your rails, you can lag-bolt them directly to the concrete floor, but sloped rails require support to achieve proper pitch and ensure load capacity. Mallard's custom-designed floor supports are the answer.

Our floor-mounted pallet flow supports complement our pallet flow rail products for a safe, reliable, easy-to-install gravity flow solution. Whether you choose Magnum wheel, steel skate wheel, or our roller pallet flow rails, we have the supports to help you achieve your processing goals.

Advantages:

  • Lower profile than rack-mounted pallet flow
  • Bonus pallet flow lane below pallet rack for order selection
  • Easy access for floor level cleaning below pallet flow lanes
  • Less bulky than pallet rack-mounted options

 

Applications:

  • Finished Goods Staging
  • Loading Dock Intake
  • Case Picking
  • Assembly & Packing

Specifications:

  • Supports are available for Magnum wheel, steel skate wheel, and roller rail designs.
  • Hat channel is pre-galvanized, 8-gauge steel. Choose from standard sizes with max height of 14".
  • Tube supports -
    • Powder-coated for rust resistance.
    • End caps (included) keep dust & debris from collecting inside the tube and smooth edges to prevent worker injuries.
  • C-Channel option allows direct mount to channel at load or extraction sides of the lane.
  • Ask our experts about cost-effective support combinations

Hit the Right Pitch with Mallard Floor Supports

Our floor supports provide options for customizing your floor-mounted pallet flow lane to your particular application specs. We offer an economical hat channel, sturdy roll-formed tubes, and structural channel to ensure that you have what you need to satisfy your goals.

Hat channel - Ideal for shallow 2- to 3-deep pallet flow lanes and pick module applications. Depending on pitch and capacity needs, the hat channel can be used exclusively or combined with a tube or C-channel to add extra support to the load side. Hat channel is not recommended for use with pallet separators at the extraction side of the lane.

Hat Channel Pallet Flow Support

Tube Supports - steel tubes support deep-lane floor-mounted pallet flow and higher capacity inventory. We recommend tube supports for lanes that include pallet separators, entry guides, and other accessories that add weight to the lane. When installing a pallet separator with a release latch, you can notch a channel beam and attach it to tube support to create a durable station.

We provide end caps for tubes to keep them dust and debris free and make a smooth edge to prevent worker injuries.

Choose the color for your tube support powder coating. Beyond aesthetics, the paint will protect your supports from scratches, chips, and rust.

Tube Supports

C-Channel - Structural channel is your heavy-duty solution. Mount rails directly to the channel at the load and discharge end if needed based on your application specs.

Remember to ask about a system test to optimize your design with actual pallet loads before purchasing.

Mallard’s Movable Stop for Push-Assisted Floor-Mounted Pallet Flow

If you are using floor-mounted pallet flow lanes as a push-assisted system, it won’t require a pitch or mounting supports… but you will likely need a Movable Stop device.

Mallard’s movable stop device does exactly as the name contradictorily suggests… it allows movement when the pallets are being pushed but engages to hold the pallets in place when the push-assistance is stopped.

Pallet loads tend to shift or roll independently when positioned on a flow lane. The moveable stop locks into place when the foot operated lever is engaged. A magnet locks the pallet into place, stopping it from rolling or shifting. A simple tap on the pedal’s toe-kick releases the device and allows the pallet to move freely. The movable stop can be positioned on pallet flow lane wherever it is needed for Magnum wheel, skate wheel and split-roller pallet flow lanes.

Mallard has a variety of push-assisted pallet flow lanes used for a variety of applications in distribution and manufacturing: finished goods staging, shipping/receiving, and assembly and case-pick operations.
