Pallet flow rack
Pallet Flow Rack
Gravity Flow Racking’ is a storage system that relies on gravity flow to load, organize, and retrieve stored cartons or pallets within
a warehouse. Maximizing space and efficiency, gravity flow racks will save your business money, improve your productivity, and increase
safety for your employees.
Gravity flow racks act as non-powered, downward-sloped storage conveyors, which allow for all subsequent pallets or cartons to
move to the forefront, once the preceding item has been removed, otherwise known as first in first out (FIFO) racking. Items are loaded
into the high end of the rack, one by one. Within a confined lane, the product then travels forward over a deck of wheels or rollers, down
the shelf, filling the structure from front to back end. In utilizing gravitational forces, pallets and cartons naturally find their path, filing in
an orderly fashion, while consistently refilling the forward-most position for easy retrieval.
Gravity flow pallet racks are perfect for companies looking to integrate a highly efficient pallet storage system into their warehouses.
These systems use wheels or rollers, combined with gravity to accumulate stored pallets. With a slight slope downward, from the load end
down to the unload end, this system reduces the need for forklift travel. Gravity flow pallet racking systems can be configured from 2 to 30
pallets deep to allow for optimizing the structure to the space available and the inventory on hand.
Gravity flow racking systems provide the fast paced and readily available turnover of perishable and date sensitive food and beverage
products. They are also especially effective in the meat packing industry, as large quantities of product must be stored and retrieved with
speed, maintaining a frozen state.
