Pallet Flow Racking

Pallet Flow Racking is a rack system that uses rollers to move pallets (also known as roller pallet racks). It minimizes the "touch points" between forklifts and rack systems, providing the safest high-density storage solution available today. To help customers make the most informed choice when installing warehouse rack systems, Eurorack invites you to follow the post below!

Video introducing Pallet Flow Rack - Smart storage system

The Pallet Flow Rack system is a combination of a steel frame rack and roller components. The structure is high at the intake end and gradually decreases at the discharge end, allowing pallets to slide towards the lower end for quick product retrieval. This rack system is commonly used in large warehouses, following a FIFO (First In, First Out) direction. Automatic product circulation and good inventory control make it suitable for large warehouses.

Learn about what is Pallet Flow Racking?​

• Load capacity: 5000kg per level (can be higher).
• Maximum height up to 16m.
• Load-bearing columns use sturdy Omega-shaped legs.
• Shelf surface uses high-quality steel rails and rollers for smooth operation.
• Access method: FIFO - First In, First Out.
• Standard electrostatic powder coating colors: Blue - Orange - Gray (can be customized).

Pallet Flow Racks are made up of 5 basic components:

• Upright column: bears the load of the entire system.
• Frame linking beam: distributes force between load-bearing columns.
• Beam: connects two load-bearing column frames and serves as the pallet placement area.
• Support beam: supports the beam to keep the pallet stable.
• Roller system: helps pallets move easily.

* Note: All components of the Pallet Flow Rack are designed to be separated and connected by bolts and screws. This is for flexibility in installation or overall adjustment when necessary.

• Storage capacity similar to Drive In Rack: 65% of the warehouse floor is used to store 20 pallets deep.
• Stores a large quantity of heavy to super heavy products up to 5000 kg per level.
• Fast loading and unloading speeds thanks to the flexible pallet conveyor.
• Absolute safety ensured by controlled deceleration devices.
• A valuable asset for cold storage warehouses, food warehouses, mechanical warehouses, etc.
• Forklifts do not need to penetrate deeply into the system, minimizing manual labor time and effort.
• Distinguish between inbound and outbound areas, allowing forklifts to access and pick up goods in a sequential and continuous manner, minimizing interruptions due to waiting.
• Avoid the situation where goods are stored for a long time without being shipped, causing business losses.
• The entire system is closely interconnected and securely anchored to the warehouse floor, ensuring safe operations for both goods and personnel.
• Simple structure for quick installation.

*Note: Pallet flow racks are most effective when used for homogeneous product storage. For warehouses with a variety of products, managers should establish a separate area to avoid confusion, mixing, and product loss.

Operating principle of pallet flow racking

Pallet racks are designed with inclined slopes and supplemented with evenly spaced rollers to facilitate easy pallet movement (Standard slope ranges from 2.3 to 3 degrees depending on the load). Thus, the roller racks operate on the principle of goods entering at a higher end and exiting at a lower end. The process is as follows:

Warehousing process

Under the influence of gravity, the first pallet placed on the rack will slide down to the lower end. As the forklift moves, the active pallets will fill the rack lane.

Outbound process

After the first pallet is "picked" from the rack, the following pallets will slide down to fill the vacant position until they are brought out. The system ensures safe speed control through brake systems, preventing pallets from falling off the racks.

Pallet Flow shelves operate based on gravity

Which type of warehouse should use Pallet Flow Racking?

It is an ideal solution for many industries and distributions. The pallet flow rack system is suitable for businesses seeking solutions to optimize space and improve efficiency in inventory management, minimizing losses. Below are some types of warehouses that can use this rack system:

• Warehouses storing products with an average shelf life of 3 months to 1 year.
• Temporary storage centers awaiting transportation (intermediate warehouses).
• Warehouses storing fast-moving consumer goods.
• Cold storage warehouses.
• Along with some other industrial warehouses.
