By Mallard Mfg / January 7, 2021

Pallet orientation is a critical part of pallet flow rack lane design. When we refer to orientation, we are defining the positioning of the pallet stringers (a.k.a. runners) to the direction of flow. Pallets can be positioned for the stringers to flow perpendicular or parallel to the direction of flow. When the stringers run parallel…

“Bottom’s Up” – Defining the Most Critical Pallet Spec for Optimal Pallet Flow

By Mallard Mfg / May 31, 2017

As we discussed in last week’s blog, and several others before that, there are many variables to consider when designing your pallet flow rack system and probably the most critical element is your PALLET – the bottom of the pallet more specifically. It’s why we always recommend testing your simulated pallet load in Mallard’s testing…
