Automated Shuttle Racking

Pallet Flow Racking

Gravity-fed FIFO lanes

Lanes pitched at a slight downward angle carry pallets from the loading side to the picking side by gravity, with speed controllers regulating movement.

Benefits

Why it works

01

Perfect rotation

The first pallet in is always the first out.

02

Loading and picking separated

Replenishment and picking happen in different aisles.

03

Every level accessible

Any level can be picked at any time.

04

For perishables

Ideal for high-volume, date-sensitive, or perishable goods.

Options

Speed control

Stops

Bumper and hook stops at the pick face.
