Conveyors for empty carton handling


Split case or "less than full carton" picking areas are the least efficient areas of the distribution center. The man-hours consumed per order are the highest in the entire warehouse. Careful consideration of the methods employed for your carton handling will allow you to maximize your profits. PACLINE Overhead Conveyors can help in this regard.

A centralized carton building area combined with a PACLINE carton delivery system will allow your order pickers to concentrate on picking. The carton delivery system can be conveniently located directly over your picking conveyors and can be routed through all levels of your picking modules.

Conveyors for empty tote handling


In many retail store distribution systems, reusable plastic tote boxes are the norm. Plastic boxes are bulkier and heavier than cardboard cartons and as such require a special tote carrier solution. Plastic totes are usually stackable; however, they need to be located all along the picking conveyor, where they end up consuming expensive pick module space. A PACLINE overhead conveyor can transport totes from the receiving doors directly to your order pickers, wherever they may be working.
