How Pallet Flow Rack Systems Work
Our pallet flow rack and flow racking systems leverage gravity to create a dynamic, automated storage solution. Here's a step-by-step breakdown:
- Loading Pallets: Forklifts place pallets at the elevated rear entrance of sloped channels equipped with heavy-duty rollers (typically at a 4% incline). Brake rollers control speed to prevent collisions.
- Gravity Flow: Once loaded, pallets slide forward autonomously along the roller tracks toward the front exit. Each channel can hold multiple pallets (up to 30 deep), with the newest entering at the back.
- Unloading: Operators retrieve the oldest pallet from the front in a separate unloading aisle, triggering the next one to flow forward automatically. This FIFO design ensures no stock gets buried.
- Customization: Adjustable lanes accommodate various pallet sizes, and features like pallet centralizers and wire mesh guards enhance safety and precision.
This pallet flow process eliminates manual repositioning, separates loading/unloading traffic, and integrates easily with standard forklifts for uninterrupted workflow.
