Pallet flow racking, otherwise known as gravity flow racks, are a common choice for many companies across several different industries. These pallet racking systems are constructed to use the natural force of gravity to move pallet loads into their correct picking position.

After a load has been placed onto the back end of the pallet flow racking system, it will be moved to a front-facing position via a channel of metal skate wheels and sloped beams. This allows for a “first-in-first-out” inventory system that’s popular amongst businesses with date-sensitive products.

Pallet flow racking systems are loaded using a back-to-back storage system. This allows for more pallet loads to be placed within a single pallet lane and reduces the need for multiple storage aisles. Depending on the design of your specific pallet racking system, you can place pallet loads approximately 20 pallets deep and several levels high.

Pallet flow racking is available with either full-width rollers that are beneficial for wood pallets, or skate wheels that work for most other pallet storage needs.

These types of pallet racking systems are most commonly used in the following ways:

• Quickly Moving Products
• Limited Number of SKUs
• Full Case Load Picking
• Limited Selectivity
• Rotating Date-Sensitive Products & Materials
