Pallet Flow
Gravity Fed Pallet Racking System
Pallet Flow is a gravity driven racking storage solution designed to maximize space efficiency and improve stock rotation. Pallets are loaded on inclined roller tracks and automatically move forward as inventory is picked, supporting a smooth First-In, First-Out (FIFO) flow. This system is ideal for high-volume racking storage environments where product rotation and space optimization are critical.

Built for High-Volume
FIFO Performance
High-Density Storage Efficiency
Up To 50% More Storage
Pallet Flow removes the need for internal aisles by using gravity-fed roller lanes, allowing pallets to move forward automatically as stock is picked. This creates significantly denser storage compared to conventional racking, with up to 50% more usable storage capacity in many layouts (application dependent).
It’s a direct way to maximize racking storage without expanding building size.
Automated Stock Rotation
for Fast Moving Goods
The system naturally operates on a First-In, First-Out (FIFO) principle, where pallets loaded from one end are always retrieved in the same order from the picking face. This ensures older stock is always used first.
It’s especially effective for food industry and perishable goods, where controlled rotation and reduced spoilage are critical to operations.
Controlled Pallet Flow
with Minimal Forklift Handling
Pallets move along steel roller tracks under controlled conditions using integrated brakes and speed controllers, adjusted based on track length and load weight to ensure smooth, safe movement.
This reduces forklift travel inside dense storage areas, limiting handling to load and unload points only. The system is available in Superbuild and Super456, offering flexible structural options for different warehouse demands.

Built for Businesses
Pallet Flow systems are already widely used across industries where speed, stock rotation, and space efficiency matter most.
From food distribution to high-volume manufacturing, it helps businesses keep inventory moving in a controlled First-In, First-Out (FIFO) sequence while maximizing racking storage density.
FAQ
What is a pallet flow system?
A pallet flow system is a high-density storage solution that uses gravity-fed roller tracks to move pallets from the loading side to the picking side automatically. As one pallet is removed, the next pallet rolls forward into position, helping improve storage efficiency and inventory flow.
How does pallet flow racking work?
Pallets are loaded onto slightly inclined steel roller tracks. Gravity moves the pallets forward through the lane while integrated brakes and speed controllers regulate movement speed for safe operation. The system supports continuous product flow with minimal manual handling.
What are the main benefits of pallet flow storage?
Pallet flow systems help maximize storage density, improve inventory rotation, reduce forklift travel, and increase picking efficiency. Since the system removes the need for multiple access aisles, warehouses can often achieve significantly more pallet positions within the same footprint.
What industries use pallet flow systems?
Pallet flow is commonly used in food and beverage, cold storage, distribution centers, manufacturing, and any operation handling fast-moving or perishable products. It is especially effective where FIFO inventory control is important.
Can pallet flow improve warehouse space utilization?
Yes. Because pallet flow eliminates many internal aisles, it allows for much denser storage compared to standard selective pallet racking. This helps warehouses maximize available floor space without expanding the building footprint.
Are pallet flow systems safe for heavy pallet loads?
Yes. Pallet flow systems are designed with engineered steel roller tracks, integrated brakes, and speed controllers to safely manage pallet movement based on load weight and track length. Proper system design ensures smooth and controlled pallet travel.
Does pallet flow reduce forklift traffic?
Yes. Forklift activity is typically limited to loading and unloading points only, reducing unnecessary travel inside dense storage areas. This can improve operational efficiency while also helping create a safer warehouse environment.
