Carton Flow Racking
Carton Flow Racking
What is Carton Flow Racking
Carton Flow Racking is a dynamic, gravity-fed storage system designed to improve efficiency in order picking and inventory rotation. By using inclined roller or wheel beds, cartons automatically flow forward to the pick face as items are removed, ensuring a constant supply of product without the need for manual restocking. This racking system is perfect for high-volume, fast-moving SKU environments where space optimization and picking speed are priorities.
Key Benefits
–Faster Order Picking
Cartons flow forward automatically, reducing walking time and increasing efficiency.
–FIFO Inventory Management
Ideal for rotating stock, especially for perishables or date-sensitive items.
–Space-Saving Design
Maximizes storage density by using deep lanes and vertical space efficiently.
Why Carton Flow Racking?
Maximize picking efficiency with high-density carton flow racking the ideal storage solution for warehouses handling high-volume, small to medium-sized SKUs. Carton flow racking, also known as gravity flow racking, uses inclined roller or wheel beds that allow cartons to automatically slide forward when one is removed, keeping product accessible from the front at all times. This system is perfect for first-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory rotation, reducing picking times and improving order accuracy in fulfillment centers, food distribution, pharmaceuticals, and general e-commerce operations.
Unlike static shelving, carton flow racks significantly improve space utilization and labor efficiency by keeping pick faces fully stocked without requiring workers to enter the racking system. Our flow racks are compatible with standard pallet racking frames and can be customized in various widths, depths, and roller styles to suit your product type. Whether you’re retrofitting an existing system or designing a new layout, our team can create a custom carton flow solution that enhances productivity and scales with your business.
