Pallet flow rack provides automatic FIFO rotation with gravity-fed lanes. Load pallets from the back aisle, they flow forward on rollers, and pick from the front. Perfect for high-velocity SKUs and expiration-sensitive inventory.
Key Benefits
Automatic FIFO
Guaranteed first-in first-out rotation. Oldest inventory always presents first for perfect date code compliance and zero product expiration waste.
Reduced Travel
Pick from one aisle, load from another. Cut forklift travel time by 50 percent or more with separate loading and picking aisles.
High Density
2-20 pallets deep per lane. Maximize cubic storage for multi-pallet SKUs while maintaining complete selectivity at the pick face.
Date Compliance
Perfect for expiration-sensitive products. Food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and cold storage applications with strict rotation requirements.
How Pallet Flow Works
Load from back → pallets flow on gravity rollers → pick from front → next pallet advances automatically. Brake systems control speed and stop pallets at pick face for safe retrieval.
