Full-width Roller Flow Rack systems reduce imprinting and improve performance. Heavy duty full-width roller wheels support pallets evenly and can absorb the heavier impact loads.
Forklift damage is reduced because the product is protected in the rack system until picking.
Flow systems offer automatic first-in/first-out (FIFO principle) system product rotation, an advantage with perishable and time sensitive products.
- Products and pallet modifications can be made without changes to existing systems
- Simple integration into existing complex distribution systems
- Ideal for freezer operations
- EASY INSTALLATION: Pre-assembled product reduces installation time.
- Product segregation - products can be stored in individual lanes
- Reduced aisle traffic and manpower, greater productivity
- Fewer lift trucks are required.
