Product Details

Transform your assembly line into a model of lean efficiency with Jtec’s modular Tube and Joint Flow Racking. Standardized, rigid shelving often creates bottlenecks and safety hazards in high-volume environments. Our gravity-fed systems use a modular “building block” approach, allowing you to configure multi-tier flow lanes that adapt perfectly to your specific SKU profiles. By utilizing gravity to keep materials front-facing, these racks support Zero-Accident Handling by removing the need for forklifts in active picking aisles.

FAQs

Jtec Flow Racking uses gravity-fed roller tracks to move containers or materials toward the picking face as items are removed. This keeps parts front-facing and accessible to the operator. Multi-tier lanes can be configured around specific SKU profiles, container dimensions, replenishment quantities, pick frequency, and available lineside space.

Yes. Integrated roller tracks support first-in, first-out (FIFO) rotation by allowing materials loaded from the replenishment side to move toward the picking side in sequence. This helps maintain organized inventory flow and consistent parts availability. Proper FIFO operation depends on the lane angle, container design, load weight, and replenishment process.

Yes. The modular tube-and-joint design allows lane widths, shelf heights, and rack angles to be adjusted without specialized tools. The rack can be reconfigured as containers, parts, or production requirements change. Adjustments should account for SKU dimensions, container weight, required presentation height, lane capacity, and material-flow direction.

Yes. Jtec Flow Racking uses a modular building-block approach that supports multi-tier lanes configured around different SKU profiles. Lane width, shelf spacing, rack angle, and overall layout can be selected for the materials being presented. The final design depends on container dimensions, weight, quantity, replenishment frequency, and operator access requirements.

Gravity keeps materials positioned near the front of each lane, reducing the need for operators to reach deeply into shelving or search multiple storage locations. High-density, multi-tier storage can also consolidate the rack footprint while keeping parts accessible. The correct presentation height and angle depend on operator reach, part weight, and pick frequency.

Jtec Flow Racking is precision-engineered in East Peoria, Illinois, and designed for lifecycles exceeding 20 years in demanding, around-the-clock manufacturing environments. Actual service life will depend on the rack configuration, loading, use frequency, operating conditions, and maintenance. Load requirements should be reviewed before selecting the final tube, joint, and lane arrangement.
