New Alternative for Pick-Track Systems

-- Logistics Management, 2/1/2001

Creative Storage Systems has introduced FreeWheelers, a new self-lubricating pick-track system for the warehousing, distribution, and shipping industries. The company, which provides solutions for materials storage, materials movement, and inventory management, sees the FreeWheelers system as an alternative to conventional steel-wheel pick-track systems.

The system uses a rib-reinforced engineered-resin wheel and large-diameter axle that is self-lubricating. The wheel design is two times wider than conventional steel wheels, resulting in less drag and fewer pallet hang-ups than typically result from rusted, bent, or worn-out steel wheels.

FreeWheelers systems are available in two models: 1.9- by 1.25-inch light duty (up to 150 pounds) and 1.9- by 1.25-inch heavy duty (up to 225 pounds). Creative Storage Systems can custom design and install FreeWheelers for any warehouse or mobile pick-track operation.
