Pallet Flow Racking System
Efficient and Cost Effective Warehouse Racking Systems
A pallet flow racking system means easy access and increased efficiency! These racking systems use gravity as a free power source, making them an extremely cost-effective solution that keeps your pallets, cartons, and business moving! Flow systems cut labour costs up to 75% when compared to static shelf racking systems. That’s efficiency you can bank on!
How the System Works:
With a pallet flow racking system, when one pallet or carton is removed from the picking station, the next one in line rolls or slides to the front on a slightly inclined rail or rollers. The next pallet or carton is automatically ready to be picked by the operator. With a first-in-first-out (FIFO) system, your inventory is easier to monitor and always within reach.
Flow racking systems are a perfect option for warehouses of all sizes. They allow you to store and retrieve inventory as efficiently as possible while maximizing your floor and vertical cube space.
Benefits:
- Higher density storage over Selective Racking layouts.
- Height is only restricted by the lift trucks’ maximum lift height.
- Faster retrieval time – lift trucks are not required to travel down secondary aisles.
- No special forklifts are required – lift trucks never enter the rack.
- Ideal for Automatic Retrieval Systems or integration into Pick Towers and rack supported buildings.
- Accommodates a variety of pallet sizes and types with full-width roller options.
- Only load and unload beam and rack frames are exposed to lift truck impact.
- Aisle frames can be reinforced for safer forklift movement.
- Easy FIFO of SKUs by lane.
