A carton flow rack, also known as a gravity flow or case flow rack, is a storage system that has been optimized to maximize space utilization while enabling the efficient management of smaller loads such as cartons, cases, totes, and other portable items. Perfectly designed for quick and safe loading and retrieval of loads, a carton flow racking system can be assembled as a free standing and immobile storage equipment. It can also be outfitted with lockable wheels, if you need them to be moved regularly across your warehouse. Additionally, you can integrate the carton flow rack into your existing pallet racking system and instantly transform it into a convenient lower-level bulk storage area.
Frequently Asked Questions – Carton Flow Racking System
- How does a carton flow racking system work?
Answer 1: The carton flow racking system normally uses inclined rollers on its shelves so that load can automatically glide from the back towards the aisle where it is accessed and picked. The storage and retrieval operation of a carton flow racking system follows the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) principle. You can build it up rto several shelves where each shelf has four to six lanes. As each load is picked from the angled pick-up point, the next load slides down automatically to take the place of the picked load–which makes this shelving system perfect for uninterrupted handling of high volumes of small portable goods.
- What are the benefits of a carton flow racking system?
Answer 2: The key advantages of the carton flow racking system include, among many others, ready customization to accommodate a variety of load types, storage needs, and storage environments, as well as ease of assembly, disassembly, and parts replacement. It also allows for good compatibility with your existing pallet racks, if you already have them in place. The racking design of a carton-flow storage equipment does not only save space, it also saves time. Add to that is the fact that the gliding of the load is gravity driven, so no electricity or manpower is required to efficiently get the load from its loading point to its access station.
