What is pallet flow racking, and how does it work?
Pallet flow racking is a high-density storage system that uses gravity-fed rollers or wheels to move pallets along an inclined track. Pallets are loaded from one side (loading end) and move to the picking side (picking end) using gravity. This system ensures a first-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory management approach, making it ideal for handling perishable or time-sensitive goods.
What are the main benefits of pallet flow racking?
The primary benefits of pallet flow racking include efficient space utilization, improved inventory management (FIFO), enhanced productivity, increased safety, cost-effectiveness, and scalability. It maximizes warehouse storage space while improving operational efficiency and reducing labor requirements.
What industries can benefit from pallet flow racking systems?
Pallet flow racking is suitable for industries with high turnover or perishable goods, such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, retail, e-commerce, and cold storage/freezer facilities. It helps manage inventory efficiently and ensures product rotation.
Is pallet flow racking suitable for small warehouses?
Yes, pallet flow racking is highly scalable and can be adapted to fit warehouses of various sizes. It maximizes both vertical and horizontal storage space, making it ideal for warehouses with limited space or those looking to optimize existing space.
