Goods flow racks

Flow racks for packaged goods, boxes and trays are extremely suitable when order picking needs to be very fast. Gravity does the job, because they are fitted with slightly sloping roller conveyors. These racks are used for goods with a high turnover.

First in, First out

According to the FIFO principle (First in, First out), the boxes or trays roll down the conveyor from the IN side to the OUT side, pulled by gravity and at a controlled speed. What went in first, goes out first. Therefore, these racks are highly suitable for perishable items or items that change over time.

Advantages

  • No need for manual moving; gravity takes care of the job
  • Lower energy costs due to compact storage
  • Perfect turnover of the stock according to the FIFO system
  • High picking speeds (up to 5 times higher than with shelf racking units)
  • Ergonomic

Suitable for…

  • Storage of large numbers of identical products
  • Storage of packaged goods
  • Storage of boxes with loose items
  • Storage of products with limited shelf life
  • Storage of products with a medium and high turnover without risk of inflow stoppage
  • The fast and efficient processing of orders
  • FIFO
