Product Description
FLOW RACKING
The Ultimate Racking System for Live and Dynamic Storage Solutions in Highly Demanding Environments:
Carton & Pallet Flow Racking offers failsafe, automatic stock rotation.
The ideal storage solution for an environment that demands a continuous flow of fast moving, high volume goods.
What is Carton & Pallet Flow Racking?
Carton & Pallet Flow Racking are both systems of live or dynamic warehouse storage:
These systems use the force of gravity to move cartons, boxes, or pallets over a deck of wheels or rollers within a racking system.
Working on a First-In, First-Out basis: Flow Racking provides high levels of storage density in the areas in which it is installed.
How does Pallet Flow Racking work?
Using gravity and inclined rollers, pallets move seamlessly from the load position to the unload position.
This means that the pallets loaded first are the first to be unloaded in a carton flow or pallet flow system.
Think of this racking system as non-powered, downward-sloped conveyor that automatically moves your pallet down the lane of racking until it reaches pick face.
- The first pallet is placed at the high end of the racking structure.
- The power of gravity then pushes the pallet along the lane of conveyors unit it reaches the next pallet, or the pick face of the system.
- A break mechanism is automatically applied when the pallet reaches the pick face of the flow system.
- When the pallet is removed from the pick face, the remaining pallets within the lane automatically roll to the front.
What is Carton Flow Racking?
For stock that needs to be hand-picked and loaded carton flow racking is an ideal solution.
Carton Flow is a live storage system that includes inclined trays of roller tracks set at various levels in the racking bays. This allows cartons, boxes or bins to roll forward under the force of gravity within a dedicated lane from the loading bay to the picking face.
Carton Flow Racking works on the same principles as described for Pallet Flow Racking, however instead of pallets being moved, this system is geared towards the movement of boxes, bins, cartons and other hand-picked goods.
You can utilise carton flow racking within your existing pallet racking to create a dynamic storage system.
For your fast moving SKU's you can store and retrieve them on the in rack rollers and store the bulk pallets higher up in the pallet racking.
The angle of incline of the roller trays, the size and number of rollers within the trays, and the load capacity of the support frames, are tailored to the size and weight of the items stored.
What are the benefits of Flow Racking?
Flow Racking is a system of dynamic/live storage that features many benefits including:
- Safe and Reliable
- Quick Installation
- Low Cost per Pick
- Fast Picking Access
- Shorter Picking Routes
- Fast Return on Investment
- Maximizes Storage Density
- Perfect product rotation using the FIFO system.
- Maximum capacity as this is a compact storage system.
- Boosts Productivity (Massively decreases forklift travel time)
- Easy Access, as all the available SKU’s are stored in the same aisle.
- Each system is custom designed and manufactured to suit your specific requirements
- Increases the number of pallets stored in a single lane, allowing long distances to be covered
Live storage systems reduce order picking times and help minimise errors, as not only are items presented precisely at the picking face, but effective management of the throughput and stock levels of goods can also be easily maintained.
Where are Flow Systems normally utilized?
Flow rack systems are normally used in:
- Perishable goods warehouses.
- Intermediate warehouses between two working zones.
- Dispatch areas, where pallets need to be removed quickly.
- Holding warehouses (prepared orders, classification channels in automatic circuits, etc)
