Flow Racking

Flow Racking

The flow racking storage systems use a combination of elevated rails and dynamic components (wheels, rollers, conveyors) within a rack supported structure. Flow systems put the power of gravity to work. Pallets are loaded on the high end of the rolling lane and move towards the other end by force of gravity where they are ready to be unloaded.

Flow storage systems are considered a high density storage system because of their ability to store more pallet loads in the same amount of space compared to standard selective rack systems. Flow storage systems only require an aisle for loading and another aisle for unloading, allowing for the storage of multiple pallet loads back-to-back. As a result, flow systems can offset the need for new construction and reduce a variety of operational expenditures like forklift, labor and energy.

Benefits :

• Up to 60% space saving in comparison to conventional    pallet racks
• Higher productivity by separating supply and picking
• The solution for non-stackable pallets
• Areas of use: Incoming goods, shipping, production, buffer warehouses, and fully automated warehouses
• Ideal for picking in towers and tunnels, reducing frequency of replenishment
• The racks function via gravity alone and do not need electricity
• Separation of supply and removal
• Customized racks optimally designed to meet your specific requirements
• Can be used as a pushback rack with the LIFO principle
