Pallet Flow Racking

Pallet Flow Rack, also known as roller pallet racking, is a high-density industrial storage system that utilizes gravity rollers (rulo) to facilitate pallet movement.

This racking system is widely recognized as one of the most efficient and safest warehouse storage solutions available today, ensuring high storage density and optimized material flow.

Pallet Flow Rack, also known as roller pallet racking, is a high-density storage system that utilizes rollers to move pallets efficiently. With its unique design, this system minimizes forklift contact with racking structures, making it one of the safest and most space-efficient warehouse storage solutions available today.

To determine the best racking system for your warehouse, let Eurorack guide you through the key features and benefits of Pallet Flow Racking.

Learn about what is Pallet Flow Racking?​

How Does Pallet Flow Racking Work?

Pallet Flow Racking consists of a pallet support frame combined with gravity rollers. The system is slightly inclined, with a higher entry point and a lower exit point. This design allows pallets to move downward naturally using gravity, enabling faster and more efficient pallet retrieval.

Follows the FIFO (First In, First Out) principle, ensuring automatic stock rotation.
Pallets move smoothly along the rollers, reducing handling time and improving inventory control.

Highly effective for large-scale warehouses requiring continuous material flow.
With its automated pallet movement and inventory management efficiency, Flow Racking is a preferred choice for many businesses looking to streamline warehouse operations.

• Average Load Capacity: 1,000 kg per pallet (adjustable based on storage needs)
• Maximum Height: Up to 10 meters
• Omega-Shaped Load-Bearing Uprights for enhanced stability
• Flow Rack Surface: Assembled with high-quality steel rollers and rails, meeting European standards
• Material: Made from electrostatically powder-coated steel
• Standard Colors: Blue - Orange - Gray (customizable upon request)

The Pallet Flow Rack System consists of five key components, ensuring high load capacity and smooth pallet movement:

• Omega-Shaped Upright Frame:

Primary load-bearing structure supporting the entire racking system.

• Frame Bracing:

Distributes load evenly between the upright frames, enhancing stability.

• Beam:

Connects two upright frames and serves as the primary support for pallets.

• Support Bar:

Reinforces the beams to keep pallets securely in place.

• Roller System:

Enables smooth pallet movement while ensuring safety and operational efficiency.

* Important Note: All components are modular and assembled using bolts and screws, allowing for flexibility in installation, easy adjustments, and reconfiguration when needed.

• Optimizes Over 70% of Warehouse Floor Space, accommodating up to 20 pallets in depth.
• High-Capacity Storage, supporting heavy-duty loads up to 3,000 kg per level.
• Fast & Efficient Loading/Unloading with a pallet conveyor system.
• Maximum Safety ensured by speed control devices.
• Minimizes Forklift Travel Time by reducing the need to drive deep into the racking system.
• Clearly Defines Inbound & Outbound Zones, allowing forklifts to continuously and efficiently access goods, avoiding delays.
• Quick & Easy Assembly due to a modular racking structure.
• Securely Anchored System, with all components firmly fixed to the warehouse floor, ensuring safety for both goods and workers.

*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 Flow Rack System

Flow Racks are designed with a slight incline of 1 to 3 degrees, allowing pallets to slide forward using gravity towards the picking end. This reduces unloading time and streamlines warehouse operations.

• When a pallet is removed, the next pallet automatically moves forward to occupy the empty space.
• This continuous pallet flow ensures efficient inventory rotation and simplifies stock management.

Which Warehouses Should Use Flow Rack Systems?

Flow Rack Systems are an ideal solution for industries requiring high-density storage and efficient inventory turnover. They are best suited for:

• Warehouses storing products with a shelf life of 3 months to 1 year.
• Storage hubs and staging areas for goods awaiting transportation (commonly found in intermediate warehouses).
• Food storage warehouses and other FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods) industries.
• Cold storage warehouses for frozen food and perishable goods.
• Warehouses operating under the FIFO (First In, First Out) inventory management system.
