Live Pallet Gravity Flow Rack is a high density bulk storage system on sloping roller conveyor tracks. 

Heavy duty skate wheels are preferred to support all loads evenly where a variety of pallet sizes and quality have to be handled, minimizing product damage.  

Pallets move by gravity from the loading to the picking position and are easily accessible to the lift truck operator.   Forklift damage is reduced because the product is protected in the rack system until picking.

Typical systems are up to 5 levels high and up to 20 pallets deep.  Flow rack has capacities up to 4,000 lbs per pallet.

Flow storage systems offer automatic first-in/first-out (FIFO principle) product rotation, an advantage with perishable and time-sensitive products.

  • Ideal for freezer or cooler storage facilities
  • Product segregation - products can be stored in individual lanes
  • Reduces aisle traffic and manpower, fewer lift trucks are required
