flow racking system

Stomax Equipments Flow racking systems consist of very particular types of high-density racks: their components and structure leverage gravity to streamline all goods extraction and storage operations.

When choosing a specific type of flow rack, it helps to consider the advantages each one offers and understand the applications of this system in the various areas of your warehouse.

What sets these flow storage systems apart is the incorporation of rollers or trolleys with bearings that facilitate the controlled movement of goods from one end of the channel to the other.

The inclination of the roller platforms can be personalized depending on the unit loads: it’s usually set at a 3% to 4% angle for pallets, while it can be higher for boxes.

applications :

1) Perishable-goods warehouses:most flow racks are extremely useful when goods flows follow strict FIFO criteria and have a high turnover. They’re frequently seen in the installations of large food distributors.

2) Interim storage areas, between work zones:especially in the case of flow racks with rollers and carton flow racks, they serve to connect the dispatch and storage areas by leaving the aisles free on both sides.

3) Temporary storage:for example, the gravity flow system is used in the accumulation channels for dispatches when they are in the staging area. Flow storage racks, therefore, work as buffers for dispatches and production.
