Turkey Hill
DeepLane Pallet Flow Case Study
Westfalia Technologies, Inc. designed, installed and started-up a new DeepLane™ Pallet Flow system for Turkey Hill, a neighboring company in Lancaster, PA. Turkey Hill needed a cost effective way to expand their storage and distribution to accommodate the growth of their ice cream business. Their goal was to develop a Pallet Flow System that would maximize storage density and follow the FIFO product rotation.
Turkey Hill began more than 60 years ago with one man – Armor Frey – one milk truck, and one milk route. Today, people up and down the East Coast enjoy ice cream, frozen yogurt, iced tea, ice cream sandwiches and sundae cones, all of which are “Imported From Lancaster County” as Turkey Hill’s slogan says.
“Westfalia Technologies was chosen to supply the storage solution based on the design and operation of our DeepLane™ storage system”, said John Hinchey, Westfalia’s Vice President of Sales. “The DeepLane™ storage system offers easy gravity flow operation and high-volume FIFO rotation. Westfalia’s DeepLane system requires no power or air source, offering the benefits of high-density storage and a flow-through gravity-fed design that minimizes labor needs.”
System Features:
- 3,318 pallet positions
- 1,318 positions of pallet flow
- 1,976 positions for push-back
- 24 pallet positions in selective rack
- -20 degrees F facility
Westfalia’s storage solution for Turkey Hill incorporates a DeepLane™ series 2300 gravity flow system that creates 3,318 pallet rack positions. The system is designed to accommodate 48” x 40” GMA pallets measuring 75” high and weighing up to 2,500 pounds. This 3,318 pallet position system utilizes 1,318 positions of pallet flow; 1,976 pushback positions and 24 pallets positioned in selective rack - all of this in a 26,223 square foot facility that is kept at minus 20 ° Fahrenheit.
