Carton Flow Track Selection Guide
Selecting the right Span-Track for your application is easy - Cisco-Eagle will be happy to assist you
The industry you are in and the way you operate (full case, split case, each-pick, fork lift aisle, etc.) will determine which model or combination of models is right for you.
See notes below on calculating Capacities & Lengths, Track Width, Pitch, and Roller Centers.
Installs on existing pallet rack beams. Can overhang front and/or back. It's typically used in loose pick applications or where contouring racks is preferred. The fully adjustable overhand allows track to extend beyond pallet rack depth.
Installs between existing pallet rack beams. Saves vertical space. Generally chosen where vertical space is limited or if above pallet storage requites fork trucks in the aisles.
Knuckled End
...is commonly combined with straight High Profile Span-Track for contouring of racks.
Drops between beams of existing single deep pallet rack. For full case or each-pick applications. Just drop into single deep pallet rack and convert static storage into carton flow.
Unsupported spans of up to 10' are possible, depending on product weights. High Profile can overhang beams at front, back or both ends. Low Profile requites more precise measurement of rack depth. The between-beam dimension (BBD) determines the Low Profile track length required. Measure (level) the distance between the front and rear pallet rack beams to find the BBD.

Span-Track provides excellent product tracking. Guide rails are not required. It is an acceptable practice for firm flat carton bottoms to be of greater width than actual track section.

Pitch requirements vary depending on the firmness of the carton against the track and the weight of the product being handled. The chart below gives approximate values as a guide only. Contact Cisco-Eagle for precise assistance. Actual testing of product should be done at installation.

Cartons with firm flat bottoms will flow properly if supported by a minimum of three rollers. Cartons with poor bottoms or heavier weights may require closer centers to provide proper flow.
