Carton Flow Rack Benefits
- Gravity flow racking improves pick rates
- Ideal for full case and split case picking
- Separates replenishment from picking activity, eliminating contention
- Can be integrated with standard pallet rack, allowing replenishment storage above
- Gravity flow racking improves pick rates
Operational Considerations
-
Key Benefits
- Gravity flow racking allows for strict FIFO (First In First Out)
- High density – there is theoretically no limit to depth- systems of 20 pallets deep and more have been installed.
- Throughput – can keep pace with high volume palletizers, and other production lines.
- Productivity – eliminates lift truck travel time – pallet flow lanes do the conveying.

Advantages
Advantages Over Single Selective Racking
- Installing Pallet Flow can generate space savings of about 35% vs. Single Selective Rack, in a typical 6 deep application.
- Converting an existing warehouse area from Single Selective Rack to Pallet Flow can accommodate approximately 50% more pallets, in a typical 6 deep application.
- Where SKU volumes warrant, much deeper systems may be built, with even greater savings.
- High pick rates can be achieved in full case pick-to-belt applications. In this case, all lift truck access for both Pallet Flow and Push Back is from the replenishment aisle, keeping the pick aisle free from any lift truck contention
- Installing Pallet Flow can generate space savings of about 35% vs. Single Selective Rack, in a typical 6 deep application.
