Pallet racking is a must-have for any material handling operation needing to maximize floor space, reduce safety hazards and improve workflow.
If your operations call for first-in, first-out high-density storage, pallet flow rack can be an excellent addition to your facility. It’s similar to a conveyor system within rack, with pallets loaded at one side, the input end, and then flowing down declined rollers to the pick face side, or output end.
With the help of pallet flow rack, you’ll be able to:
- Maximize aisle space by storing pallets deeper in your warehouse racking system.
- Improve inventory management with a first-in, first-out (FIFO) system that can be designed for specific SKU channels. Great for food and beverage.
- Increase throughput by enabling continuous loading and unloading
- Improve safety by reducing the need to move heavy loads long distances with forklifts.
- Adapt and scale your racking system as your operations change or grow.

Benefits of Pallet Flow Rack
Versatility
Pallet flow rack is ideal for a wide range of industries, including cold storage and freezer warehouses, food distribution, high-volume order fulfillment for consumer goods, holding warehouses and any other dispatch areas where pallets need to be removed quickly.
Storage Depth
Pallet flow rack is available up to 20-plus pallet positions deep, which dramatically increases your storage capacity and reduces the number of aisles compared to traditional pallet rack systems.
Safety
Pallet flow rack keeps employees safe since it reduces pallet movements and keeps them at a safe distance from forklifts replenishing racks at the input end.
Efficiency
Pallet flow rack can be simultaneously loaded and unloaded, which can help you reduce labor costs while increasing throughput. Gravity automatically moves products to the picking position, which also helps reduce manual handling needs.
Inventory Management
If you’re in an industry that deals with expiration dates or shelf life concerns, pallet flow racks ensure the oldest inventory gets used first to reduce spoilage and waste. You can also designate channels for specific SKUs to simplify the location and retrieval process.
Adaptability
Pallet flow rack can be customized and scaled to meet your operations’ unique needs, including volume, weight and type of goods being stored. We can also integrate them with other storage systems and automated solutions for even better efficiency.
