Efficient Material Handling Factory Customized Pallet Flow Rack With Galvanized Rollers

Introductions

Pallet flow rack is one important application of gravity flow system in storage industry. Exploiting sloped rollers in a row, pallets loads can move automatically from vantage point to lower end at a controlled speed with FIFO(first-in/first-out) principle. Having fully stocked picking face, pallet loads flow into aisle position one by one gently and safely.

Pallet Flow Rack Specification

Structures and Design Details

Pallet flow racking system includes the following major components and accessories.

♦ Upright frames: the basic structure of this whole system

♦ Beams: weight bearing part

♦ Rollers: the key part for pallet automatic movement engineered with certain angle

♦ Roller supports: support the rollers fixed on the beams

♦ Separator devices: separate the first pallet with others behind

♦ Dampers: control the pallet load movement speed

♦ Head stop board and rear stop board: guide the forklift for product picking and placing

Features

► Pallet flow rack offers high density storage capacity with compact storage bays leaving only two aisles for product picking and placing.

► The safety of this gravity taken system has been guaranteed since forklifts never enter the racking structure for material handling.

► Solving the problems of temporary storage and fast turnover that time-sensitive inventory have obeying FIFO rules.

►Pallet flow system decreases the frequency product being handled with improved throughput and working effiency.

Limitations

Price is the major concern for warehouse owners who have interest in this efficient system. The customized galvanized rollers are relatively expensive compared to other parts of the racks. However, if you have enough budget and pursue long-term energy saving and labor saving solution, pallet flow rack system is a good choice that you should consider.
