Optimize Product Flow Using Pick Modules
Pick modules help your business carry out multiple shipments faster and more accurate than ever before. As every business knows, time is money. The more time spent looking around your warehouse for materials and products, the less time you’ll have to fulfill orders.
Depending on the size of your warehouse, you likely have hundreds, if not thousands, of feet of conveyor systems moving product from one place to the other. Pick Modules use pallet racks to compliment your conveyors, and store your product densely. This will give you more space to utilize for other tasks.
Yankee Supply has both new and used pick modules in-stock.

Grow your Storage with Pallet Flow Racks
Pallet flow, or flow racks are great ways to expand storage. These pallet flows come with wheels and racks. Pallets can range from 2 to over 20 pallets deep, this allows for so much more storage than the average stacking shelves.
The first item you stack on the run will be the first item taken off, and the rest of the items will roll down and take the place of that item. In other words, the first one in will be the first one out. After that, you just load more items into the back and it will eventually roll down. These flow racks are a great way to stay organized.
Why pallet flow racks? Not only are these a great way to maximize storage, but they are also very easy to load and unload. Call us with specifications and we can custom make a system that works for you!

Move Forward with Conveyor Equipment
Whether you’re looking to buy a new or used conveyor, Yankee Supply has the conveyor to fit your needs. We stock belt conveyors, roller conveyors, skate wheel conveyors, gravity conveyors, ball transfer tables, and curved conveyors.
For small parts and packages, and other small materials that are typically transported on either an incline or a decline, a belt conveyor option is typically used. The gravity is commonly used to offload trucks or sort packages in an inexpensive way. If you’re looking for the smoothest transport possible of lightweight packages, we recommend the skatewheel.
For products that are anywhere from light to relatively heavy, a roller conveyor is the way to go. The most unique option is the ball transfer table. It allows for objects to be moved in any direction, including around a curve.
If you’re not in the market to buy, but rather the market to sell any of your machinery, we would love to get that off your hands and purchase it from you for resale. Do not hesitate to call us with any inquiries.

Increase Performance with the Right Caster
When in the market for a caster, it is extremely important that you balance out all factors and consider what will perform best in your situation. Some of the most important things to consider are load weight, floor conditions, rolling ease, and other unusual conditions.
For heavier loads a larger wheel is needed because the weight of the load influences the mobility of the wheel. For loads over 400 pounds it is recommended to use roller or ball bearings.
Make sure that the wheel you choose is large enough to pass over cracks in the floors, moldings, tracks, and other obstructions. Use polyurethane or rubber wheels for floor protection on linoleum, tile, etc.
Larger wheels roll easier than small ones. For heavier loads, roller bearings are recommended. Ball bearings are much easier to roll, but they are not able to carry the heavy load that roller bearings can. When possible, use the largest ball bearing that’s acceptable.
Room temperatures are no problem for most casters. Corrosive environments, extreme heat or cold, oil or grease on the floor, small metal chips or other floor debris, and softer rolling surfaces, such as asphalt or gravel can be a problem. Each wheel material has certain characteristics which will give the best results where unusual conditions exist.
