Carton Flow Racking

Carton flow racking, also referred to as roller racks, functions similarly to pallet live storage but is specifically designed for items that are manually loaded and picked. Equipped with a sloping aluminum or metal roller system typically set at an angle of 2.5°-3°, this setup facilitates a first-in-first-out (FIFO) workflow.

This Carton Flow Racking System is particularly useful in environments where fast-moving inventory needs to be easily accessible and where maximizing space and efficiency are critical. By utilizing carton flow racking, businesses can streamline their picking processes and minimize the risk of stock obsolescence.

Carton flow racking advantages and features

First-In-First-Out (FIFO) Rotation:

With the sloping roller system, carton flow racks ensure that the oldest inventory is always at the front, promoting FIFO inventory rotation. This is particularly important for products with expiration dates or those prone to obsolescence.

Maximized Space Utilization:

By utilizing gravity to move items forward, carton flow racks make efficient use of vertical space in the warehouse. This allows for higher storage density compared to static shelving systems.

Increased Pick Rates:

Carton flow racking facilitates faster and more efficient picking processes. With items automatically presented at the front of the rack, workers can easily access them without needing to search through shelves or move other items out of the way.

Improved Ergonomics:

Because items are automatically presented at the front of the rack, workers don’t need to reach deep into shelves or lift heavy items, reducing the risk of strain or injury and promoting a safer working environment.

Customizable Configurations:

Carton flow racks can be customized to suit the specific needs of different products and workflows. They can accommodate various sizes and types of cartons, and the slope angle of the rollers can be adjusted to optimize flow.

Versatility:

Carton flow racking can be integrated with other storage systems, such as pallet racking or conveyor systems, to create a comprehensive warehouse solution that maximizes efficiency and space utilization.

Inventory Visibility:

With items automatically advancing to the front of the rack, inventory levels are more visible, making it easier to monitor stock levels and plan replenishment activities.

Durability and Longevity:

Constructed from sturdy materials such as aluminum or metal, carton flow racks are designed to withstand the demands of warehouse environments and provide long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance requirements.
