Food and beverage, three temperatures, first in, first out

What makes food and beverage different

Rotation, cases and kegs

Food and drink move by date and by case, and both shape the racking.

1Dates set the order

Stock must leave first in, first out, and lots must stay traceable, so flow racking and lanes sized to each product matter.

2Most picks are cases, not pallets

Beverage and grocery orders are picked by the case, so case flow at the pick face saves the most labor.

3Kegs and barrels are their own load

Round, heavy and returned empty: kegs and barrels need lanes and racks made for them.

4Clean and cold areas

Wash-down zones, coolers and freezers call for open decks, galvanized parts and layouts that are easy to clean.

Food and beverage racking FAQ

or call 971-337-6608

What racking keeps food stock first in, first out?

Pallet flow racking: pallets load at the back and roll to the front, so the oldest is always picked next. See pallet flow racking.

How should a beverage warehouse store kegs?

On keg racks with roller lanes in pallet racking, loaded from the back and picked at the front; see keg storage racks.

What helps case picking in a beverage warehouse?

Case flow at the pick face, fed from pallets behind, so pickers never wait for replenishment.

Can you lay out racking for a cooler or freezer?

Yes; see our cold storage racking page.

Do you install while deliveries keep coming?

Yes. We work in sections and around your delivery schedule.

Food and beverage warehouse racking

Food and beverage warehouses move by date and by the case. Lenokers designs and installs racking for food distributors, beverage distributors, breweries and wineries: pallet flow racking for first in, first out, keg storage racks and carton flow for case picking, pushback and drive-in racking for volume products, and cold storage racking for coolers and freezers.

Kegs and barrels

Keg racks store full kegs in roller lanes, loaded at the back, with the right lane for each keg size.

Four kegs side by side: 1/6 barrel, slim 1/4, 1/4 and 1/2 barrel

First in, first out

In pallet flow racking the oldest pallet is always the one at the front.

Case picking

Carton flow keeps the pick face full while it is refilled from behind.
