Not All Carton Flow Rack is Created Equal… And That’s on Purpose!

See Mallard Dyna-Flo and Cart-Trak Carton Flow in Action

When shopping for the right carton flow rack, there are several things to consider. We first ask our customers if they are handling consistent carton widths or varying carton widths… and we go from there. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, let’s use these short video clips to help show the major differences between the Mallard carton flow rack line options.

Cart-Trak Carton Flow – Consistent Cartons

Dyna-Flo Carton Flow – Varying Carton Sizes

So what did we just see?  Well, for starters, yes, both systems are, of course, gravity-fed carton flow systems, and both are built to last in busy warehouse environments, but the differences are key for saving time and increasing picking/replenishing accuracy and speed. Dyna-Flo carton flow uses a full shelf bed of staggered polypropylene wheels for applications with multiple SKUs and carton sizes. Cart-Trak carton flow uses heavy-duty, full-width rollers to accommodate consistent carton and tote sizes.

Dyna-Flo Carton Flow Advantages:

• Simple, easy product reprofiling
• Dense wheel pattern accommodates greater carton density
• Full wheel bed handles multiple carton sizes
• Consolidates and increases pick spots
• Tilt-tray accessory available for even more efficient order selection

Cart-Trak Carton Flow Advantages:

• Heavy-duty abuse-resistant system
• Available in a variety of widths and capacities
• Spans beam to beam on all rack types
• Perfect for full tote or each pick applications
• Less shelf density due to lane gaps vs. Dyna-Flo

Both carton flow products easily drop into existing roll-formed or structural pallet rack and can be fitted with entry guides and full-length lane dividers for greater SKU differentiation.
