Gravity Flow Pallet Racking
Gravity Flow Pallet Racking Systems is ideal for pallet loads of large-volume SKUs in sorting and distribution operations. They also are a great option where high throughput is required or in a warehouse storage situation that calls for large volumes of each SKU, such as cross-dock dispatch areas. Gravity flow pallet racks act like a conveyor within a rack structure.
This system comprises compact structures for palletized loads that incorporate roller track sections placed in a sloped lane to allow the pallets to slide over them.
The pallets are loaded from the rear of the racking system, which is the highest part of the rolling section, and moved by the force of gravity at a controlled speed towards the front end supported by a braking system.
