Gravity flow racks act as non-powered, downward-sloped storage conveyors, which allow for all subsequent pallets or cartons to move to the forefront, once the preceding item has been removed, otherwise known as first in first out (FIFO) racking.

Items are loaded into the high end of the rack, one by one. Within a confined lane, the product then travels forward over a deck of wheels or rollers, down the shelf, filling the structure from front to back end.

In utilizing gravitational forces, pallets and cartons naturally find their path, filing in an orderly fashion, while consistently refilling the forward-most position for easy retrieval.

Gravity flow racking uses space efficiently providing high-density storage. The FIFO aspect of gravity flow racking and the natural flow of products makes it easier for workers to access the stock they seek, either by forklift or manual picking for smaller items.

Gravity flow carton flow racks are the essential solution for companies looking to increase stored product accessibility. In each storage bay, many levels of carton flow racking can exist - each individually customizable.

Cartons are sent down the shelf's slope categorically, each lane containing a specific product, easily identified by its fore-facing label. By organizing cartons in this fashion, with the foremost carton consistently revealing exactly what that lane contains, pickers can select specific cartons with greater efficiency.

This gravity flow system allows for full carton and single item picks, perfect for applications with numerous SKUs.

It's important to remember that the type of gravity flow racking applied to both carton and pallet racking depends on the size and weight of the case, as well as the operating environment.
