Pallet Flow Racks

What are Pallet Flow Racks?

Pallet Flow Racks are a type of storage system used in warehouses and distribution centers to store and move pallets of goods. It is also known as gravity flow rack, gravity flow pallet rack, or dynamic flow storage.

In a Pallet Flow Racks system, pallets are loaded onto rollers or wheels that are set at a slight incline. The pallets are then moved by gravity along the rollers to the other end of the rack, where they can be picked up by forklifts or other material handling equipment.

This type of storage system is ideal for high-density storage of goods that have a high turnover rate or need to be moved quickly. It is also useful for FIFO (first in, first out) inventory management, as the pallets move automatically from the loading end to the unloading end of the rack.

Pallet Flow Rack systems can be customized to fit the specific needs of the warehouse or distribution center, with options for different roller widths, heights, and capacities. They are often used in industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and automotive manufacturing.

Streamline Your Warehouse Operations

Pallet Flow Rack, also known as gravity flow rack, is a type of storage system that utilizes gravity to move pallets of goods through a warehouse or distribution center. This dynamic flow storage solution offers a high-density storage solution that maximizes warehouse space and improves efficiency.

How it Works

The Pallet Flow Rack system works by utilizing a series of rollers or wheels set at a slight incline. Pallets are loaded onto the rollers at the top of the rack, and then they move by gravity along the rollers to the other end of the rack. This allows for easy and quick access to inventory for order picking and fulfillment.

The Benefits:

1. 1. High-density storage: These racks offer a high-density storage solution that maximizes warehouse space.
   2. FIFO inventory management: The system is ideal for first in, first out (FIFO) inventory management, which ensures that goods are rotated in a timely manner and minimizes the risk of spoilage or expiration.
   3. Efficient order picking: The Pallet Flow Rack system streamlines warehouse operations by providing quick and easy access to inventory, improving order picking efficiency.
   4. Customizable: Systems can be customized to fit the specific needs of your warehouse or distribution center, with options for different roller widths, heights, and capacities.

Industries that Use Pallet Flow Rack

Pallet Flow Rack systems are used in a variety of industries, including:

1. 1. Food and beverage: Ideal for storing perishable goods that require FIFO inventory management, such as food and beverages.
   2. Pharmaceuticals: It’s used in pharmaceutical warehouses to store and distribute medication and medical supplies.
   3. Automotive manufacturing: These racks are used in automotive manufacturing to store and move parts and components.
