Jtec Gravity Flow Racks are designed for cartons, totes, and other lightweight inventory used in fast-paced picking operations. Their lightweight, high-visibility construction keeps stored materials easy to see and access. The correct configuration depends on container dimensions, load weight, SKU quantity, replenishment frequency, and available storage or lineside space.
The racks use staggered skate-wheel tracks installed at an angle. Gravity moves cartons or totes from the loading end toward the picking face as the front container is removed. This keeps inventory accessible without powered conveyors. Proper movement depends on container weight, base design, lane angle, track spacing, and the condition of the container.
Yes. Materials are loaded from one side and retrieved from the opposite side, supporting first-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory rotation. Older inventory reaches the picking position before newly replenished inventory. Consistent FIFO performance depends on employees following the correct loading process and each container moving reliably through its assigned lane.
Yes. Gravity Flow Racks offer flexible lane configurations that can be arranged around different carton or tote sizes. Track spacing and lane layout should provide adequate support beneath each container while allowing it to move smoothly. The final arrangement depends on container width, base rigidity, weight, lane capacity, and the number of SKUs stored.
Gravity-fed operation keeps the next carton or tote positioned at the front of the rack after an item is removed. This reduces the need for operators to reach deeply into shelving or search for inventory. The open, high-visibility design also helps operators identify available materials and monitor replenishment needs from the picking side.
Standard shelving holds containers in fixed positions and may require operators to manually move inventory forward. Jtec Gravity Flow Racks use inclined skate-wheel lanes to advance cartons and totes toward the picker automatically. This supports FIFO rotation and front-facing inventory while providing a lightweight alternative for applications that do not require heavier pallet-rack construction.
