Gravity Flow Rack Pick Modules

Gravity flow picking efficiency at the floor, bulk palletized storage overhead

Pallet racks that utilize carton flow tracks are an excellent way to mix slow and fast-moving items in the same storage footprint. With overhead pallet storage, bulk quantities are easily transferred to active operation later. Available in 3-shelf and 4-shelf units, with either 4-pallet or 8-pallet overhead storage.

With Conveyor

These gravity flow pick modules include a lane of roller conveyor that extends the entire length of the flow rack. Conveyor makes picking from flow racks even easier, allowing pickers to move down the lines without having to use a cart or a truck. The lower flow shelf is positioned so that products on that shelf are flush with the front of the conveyor. Available in 3-shelf and 4-shelf units, with either 4-pallet or 8-pallet overhead storage.

Pallet racks that utilize carton flow tracks are an excellent way to mix slow and fast-moving items in the same storage footprint. With overhead pallet storage, bulk quantities are easily transferred to active operation later. Placed along a line of conveyors, or used with cart-based picking, flow racks provide a solid wall of pick faces operators can quickly access to service incoming orders.

Gravity flow modules work best for multiple-item orders, when average supply holding time is minimal, and when item weight is important. First-in, first-out (FIFO) storage gives you automatic inventory rotation. Whether you need a bay or two of flow storage or a long row of gravity-driven pick faces with pallet storage above, utilizing rack-mounted flow storage gives you the flexibility to change and reconfigure as needed; add, move, or remove flow shelves when you want, all within your pallet rack bays.

Note: To ensure stability and integrity, assembled pick modules should be anchored to the floor upon installation.

We can create different sizes and configurations to fit your exact application. Call or submit a carton flow inquiry for more assistance.

Why carton flow?

Flow system works for each-pick and carton-pick applications, giving you operational flexibility
A high degree of selectivity means you can access pallets and totes easily
Takes advantage of the vertical cube; carton flow concentrates many pick faces into very little floor space
Flow storage increases picking speed and efficiency because it reduces aisles and movement - pickers spend more time picking orders, less time walking to bins
You can replenish stock from the back while picking continues at the front. Restocking speed can be tripled vs. static shelving
Low-Profile carton flow track nests between the front and rear pallet rack beams by use of hangers, providing full use of vertical space and smooth carton flow.
