Product Details

Maximize throughput and maintain perfect inventory rotation with our Pallet Flow Racking systems. Utilizing gravity-driven inclined rollers, this deep-lane storage solution automatically glides pallets from the loading aisle directly to the picking face. By physically separating the loading and retrieval processes, you reduce forklift congestion and create a safer, more efficient workflow. It is the ultimate high-volume storage solution for facilities demanding rapid, reliable inventory movement.

FAQs

Pallet Flow Racking uses slightly inclined lanes equipped with load-bearing rollers or wheels. Pallets are loaded at the elevated end and move by gravity at a controlled rate toward the opposite picking end. This keeps the next pallet available for removal without requiring powered movement within each storage lane.

Yes. Pallets enter from the loading aisle and leave from the opposite picking aisle, creating first-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory rotation. The first pallet loaded into a lane becomes the first pallet available for retrieval. This makes the system suitable for goods with expiration dates and other high-turnover inventory requiring consistent stock rotation.

Pallet Flow Racking is well suited for high-volume, high-turnover goods, including food, beverages, frozen products, consumer goods, and other date-sensitive inventory. It can also serve as buffer storage or hold prepared orders near dispatch areas. Each lane is typically assigned to a compatible SKU and pallet profile.

The system stores pallets in deep lanes with minimal empty space between loads and fewer aisles than conventional selective pallet racking. This creates a dense volume of usable storage while maintaining separate loading and unloading access. Actual capacity depends on lane depth, rack height, pallet dimensions, load clearances, and building constraints.

No. Forklifts load pallets at one end of the lane and retrieve them from the opposite end without driving inside the rack structure. Separating loading and unloading activity can also reduce interference between inbound and outbound tasks. Operators still require adequate aisle space and must position pallets correctly on the roller lanes.

Yes. Pallet Flow Racking can be configured around required flow rates, order-picking processes, pallet dimensions, load weights, lane depths, and storage levels. Pallets must be in suitable condition to travel reliably across the rollers. The final design may also incorporate braking and control components to maintain safe pallet movement.
