Overview: Pallet flow racking, also known as gravity flow racking, is a high-density storage system designed to provide efficient pallet rotation using a First-In, First-Out (FIFO) method. It utilizes inclined rollers or wheeled tracks to move pallets from the loading end to the unloading end using gravity. This system is ideal for warehouses with fast-moving inventory and time-sensitive products.
Features:
FIFO Inventory Management
Ensures that the first pallet loaded is the first pallet unloaded, ideal for perishable goods and date-sensitive products.
High-Density Storage
Maximizes storage space by minimizing aisle space and utilizing depth.
Gravity-Powered
Uses the force of gravity to move pallets, reducing the need for powered equipment.
Versatility
Suitable for a wide range of pallet sizes and types.
Benefits:
Improved Efficiency
Speeds up loading and unloading times, reducing labor costs and increasing productivity.
Optimized Space Utilization
Increases storage density by using deep lanes, making it ideal for warehouses with limited floor space.
Enhanced Inventory Control
FIFO system helps maintain product freshness and reduces the risk of obsolescence.
Reduced Handling
Minimizes the need for forklifts to enter the racking system, reducing the risk of damage and accidents.
Applications:
Food and Beverage
Ideal for storing perishable goods, such as dairy, meat, and beverages, where inventory rotation is crucial.
Cold Storage
Suitable for use in refrigerated and freezer warehouses, where efficient space utilization and quick access are essential.
Manufacturing
Used for storing raw materials and finished products that require FIFO inventory management.
Retail and Distribution
Perfect for high-volume distribution centers that handle fast-moving consumer goods (FMCGs).
