Immediate Pallet Control
Speed controllers provide a necessary control mechanism to maintain a safe, measured pallet for speed as they advance down the lane. Acting as a sort of braking device, the speed controller slows the pallet and prevents it from gaining too much speed in the gravity-inspired process. Slowing the pallet provides better lane tracking which helps ensure that the pallet arrives squared with the lane opening at the pick face, thus facilitating a faster, easier forklift extraction.
Direct mount speed controllers are top mounted for immediate contact with the load and compatible with most wheel and roller track types: Magnum, skate wheel, and split roller pallet flow. Direct mount speed controllers are used most often for floor-mounted and low-profile pallet flow rack systems. Mallard speed controllers are available in light, medium and heavy-duty options to best meet your pallet flow inventory needs.

Universal Pallet Flow - When a Single System Design Makes Sense
For the sake of simplicity we are sometimes asked for a single pallet flow lane design to accommodate several different pallet types with assorted inventory. After careful design consideration and lane testing the Mallard team can often deliver a universal system, but there are times when a varied configuration would be more beneficial for our customer.
