With pallet flow racking, pallets are loaded from the rear onto rollers, and then roll to the front of the rack. Pallets loaded after this follow and end up behind those loaded prior, until that row is full. Product is then unloaded from the front, supporting a first in/first out (FIFO) approach.
Pallet flow racking systems are a type of gravity flow system that relies on gravity to load, retrieve and organize stored pallets. These systems use downward-sloped conveyors to allow gravity to do the work. Pallets and products naturally find their path, with gravitational force filing them through in an orderly fashion. Pallet flow racking systems can also be customized with speed controllers installed in each lane to ensure that the pallet travels safely along its path.
There are different types of pallet flow rack rollers to accommodate the needs of different applications. These types include:
Pallet flow racking systems are often used in manufacturing applications where many pallets of the same items are stored. These systems typically store:
Pallet flow racking allows you to store high volumes of products and access them quickly. They require slightly more maintenance than other systems to keep rollers in good condition, but they are excellent for space savings. Here is an overview of the pros and cons.
If any of the following applies to your warehouse, a pallet flow racking system could be an excellent solution:
If you store date-sensitive products like perishable items, pallet flow racking systems allow for continuous inventory rotation.
Coolers and freezers are expensive. Pallet flow rack systems help you get the most out of these areas by allowing you to store products densely and access them efficiently.
If you need a racking system that helps you save on space, pallet flow racking systems are the perfect choice. They make efficient use of floor space, as only one aisle is needed for loading. They also allow you to maximize vertical space, as pallets can be stored as high as necessary.
