Carton Flow Racking Live Storage System for Light Duty Manual Picking Cargoes

Carton Flow Racking system, which is also called Carton Live Storage, is best suited for storing cartons and light products in high density, making better use of available space compared with the standard conventional selective racking system and greatly improving stock turnover rate.

Since it is called live pallet racking system, efficient product rotation can be ensured in this semi-automatic system. It follows FIFO (First in, First out) storage rotation order, and interference is avoided by differentiating loading and unloading areas.

Loading area and unloading area are respectively at the two ends of the system, while the movement of pallets in the system is driven by gravity, which saves operating time and labor costs. Based on its characteristics, carton flow racking system is perfectly fit for warehouses with a large volume of manual picking operations.

How Does Carton Flow Racking System Work?

In the Carton flow racking system or Carton Live storage system, under the function of gravity, once cartons are placed on the loading end, cartons will automatically slide along slightly inclined wheel carriers toward the unloading end.

Different lane levels are independent and cartons at different lanes can move at the same time. The system can be adapted to accommodate different unit loads, making it a very versatile system for carton picking.

Features and Advantages of Carton Flow Racking System:

​

• Facilitates product rotation.

• Avoids interruption of replenishment and material preparation.

• Visibility and availability of products.

• Reduction of order preparation times.

• High space utilization: high-density storage system.

• Perfect product rotation. By applying a FIFO (first-in, first-out) system, the first unit loaded is the first to go.

• No interference. As the loading and unloading aisles are separated, the loaded units are loaded and unloaded in separate aisles.

• The live box storage system is compatible and combinable with other rack storage systems.

• Reduced operating costs due to excellent use of space.

• Different sizes and shapes of boxes and light goods can be accommodated. It is also possible to modify the slope and the distance between the pulleys.

• Easy to install. The carton live pallet racking also requires no subsequent installation maintenance.

• Less maneuvering and travel time for workers due to more reference points in front of the rack; shorter travel times.

• Quick and easy retrieval. Less time for manual handling and removal of the load unit due to good product positioning.​
