Warehouse Roller Rack Gravity Flow Racking System For Industrial
Storing And Picking
For most pallet racks, the basic components include frames, beams
and some have support rails for product storage. This kind of racks
are called static racks where material handling are simpley rely on
forklifts or manpower. The standard selective pallet racks, double
deep, VNA, cantilever rack, drive-in racking all belong to this
style.
However, for engergy saving and efficiency improving, our creative
rack engineers invented some dynamic racks with rollers taking
advantages from gravity, that can be general named as roller racks
or gravity flow racks. Can you find some gravity flow racks with
rollers in modern warehouses? Yes! Push back pallet rack, pallet
flow racking and carton flow rack are all commonly seen dynamic
storage systems in warehouses, distribution centers and commerical
occasions.
Similar Structures of Gravity Flow Racks
Gravity flow racks are often designed on the basis of typical
pallet rack components and organizations. Upright frames and beams
play the most fundamental role in any racking systems like the
bones in human body. As the following picture indicated, carton
flow, pallet flow and push back racks all use frames and beams to
carry capacity loads and form storage bays.
Dynamic Part of Gravity Flow Racks
To realize dynamic material handling, gravity taken components such
as rollers, wheels and conveyors combined with inclined rail are
the key to automatic product picking and placing which consist of
the flow system.
In push back pallet rack, nested carts with wheels carry the pallet
loads move in and out the system; while in carton flow, slanted
rails equipped with small rollers will responsible for the cartons
fast placing and picking; for some pallet flow system, galvanized
rotary drums will be installed into the bays for automatic storage
and retrieval. Though slighlty different, they follow the same
rules applying gravity into the working procedure.

Gravity flow racks are highly recommended for the following
features:
♦ High denstiy storage solutions using deeper storage positions
without redundant aisles wastes
♦ Optional rollers with ranged load capacity from light duty to
heavy duty
♦ Following First-in/First-out material handling method each lane
♦ Loading and unloading happen at two different sides for improved
safety and efficiency
♦ Better accessibility and visibility with less working pressure
♦ Maximized productivity resulted from continuous inventory
replenishment
