Pallet Flow Racking


What is Pallet Flow Racking?

Pallet Flow Racking uses gravity-fed roller lanes to move pallets automatically from the load end to the pick end. As front pallets are removed, those behind roll forward, maintaining a continuous flow of inventory.

It’s a high-density, FIFO system ideal for perishable goods, high-turnover SKUs, and operations seeking maximum throughput with minimal travel time. Pac Rac engineers every system to CSA / CWB / NBC 2020 standards, ensuring dependable, low-maintenance performance.

Flow Rack

Benefits Across Industries

Doubles or triples throughput vs selective systems.

 

Reduces forklift travel – loading and picking on opposite aisles.

 

Maximizes density while preserving FIFO accuracy.

 

Ideal for perishable goods and date-sensitive products.

 

Applications & Industries

Perfect for high-volume SKUs needing continuous replenishment and organized stock flow. Reduces congestion and improves pick-face access in large DCs.

Used for staging raw materials and finished goods, syncing FIFO production lines and minimizing downtime between process steps.

Supports consistent order fulfillment with high-density lanes and clear separation between load and pick aisles—ideal for large retailers managing expiration-dated items.

Keeps fast-moving products close to pick zones while maintaining orderly inventory rotation—critical in high-velocity fulfillment centers.

The most common system in refrigerated and freezer warehouses requiring strict FIFO and temperature-efficient storage. Pac Rac’s galvanized rollers withstand moisture and low-temperature conditions.

Accessories & Related Products

Enhance push back racking with:

Load Stop

Guide pallets safely onto lanes and prevent push-through at discharge ends—essential for deep-lane FIFO systems.

Brakes

Installed within rollers to regulate pallet descent, ensuring controlled travel speed and reducing product damage.

Pallet Seperator

Maintain consistent spacing at pick faces for safer, smoother retrieval.

 

Rack Netting protection

Protect operators and inventory from pallet fall-through – especially in multi-level flow lanes.

Galvanized or epoxy finishes resist condensation and corrosion in cold-storage applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Gravity rollers move pallets from load to pick side, providing automatic FIFO rotation without forklift entry into lanes.

Ideal for date-sensitive or high-turnover items – food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, or consumer goods.

Pac Rac designs lanes up to 20 pallets deep, depending on load and building height.

Yes – galvanized or epoxy-coated rollers ensure reliable movement in freezer conditions.

Minimal: periodic roller cleaning and brake inspection to maintain flow speed.

Why Choose Pac Rac Pallet Racking?

A pallet rack system consists of roll-formed steel components or structural steel components, or a combination of both to cater to various load requirements and warehouse layouts. At Pac Rac, our extensive experience with pallet racks allows us to create a storage system designed specifically for your needs, no matter what kind of palletized products or materials you handle.
