Pallet Live Storage Racking
Pallet live storage racking, also known as carton flow racking or gravity flow racking, is a dynamic storage system that utilizes inclined roller tracks to automatically move pallets towards the picking aisle. This system offers several advantages over traditional static pallet racking, making it a popular choice for warehouses with high-volume inventory and a need for efficient stock rotation.
Efficient FIFO (First-In, First-Out) Stock Rotation: Pallets are loaded onto the inclined tracks from the high side of the rack and glide down towards the picking aisle, ensuring that the oldest pallets are picked first, preventing stock obsolescence and expiration issues.
Reduced Handling and Travel Time: Forklift operators only need to access the picking aisle, eliminating the need to navigate through narrow aisles and maneuver pallets within the racking structure. This significantly reduces travel time and labor costs.
Maximized Storage Capacity: Utilizes vertical space effectively, allowing for more pallets to be stored in a given area compared to traditional static racking. Particularly beneficial for warehouses with limited floor space.
Improved Safety: Reduces the risk of collisions and accidents by eliminating the need for forklifts to enter storage aisles. Inclined tracks help prevent pallets from tipping or falling.
Ease of Inventory Control: The FIFO method and clear visibility of stored pallets make inventory control and stock tracking much simpler.
Adaptability to Automated Systems: Can be integrated with automated retrieval systems, further enhancing efficiency and productivity.
Warehouses with High-Volume Inventory Turnover: Ideal for managing large quantities of inventory that frequently change.
Businesses with a Focus on FIFO Stock Rotation: Ensures that the oldest stock is picked first, reducing the risk of obsolescence.
Facilities with Limited Floor Space: Maximizes storage capacity by utilizing vertical space effectively.
Operations that Require Efficient Picking and Order Fulfillment: Facilitates quick and efficient access to inventory, improving picking times and order accuracy.
Overall, pallet live storage racking offers a dynamic and efficient solution for warehouses seeking to optimize their storage space, improve inventory management, and enhance overall operational efficiency.
