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.
Racking partner: Rebel Rack
Benefits
Why it works
Perfect rotation
The first pallet in is always the first out.
Loading and picking separated
Replenishment and picking happen in different aisles.
Every level accessible
Any level can be picked at any time.
For perishables
Ideal for high-volume, date-sensitive, or perishable goods.
Options

Wheel options
Poly wheels, steel wheels, or full-width rollers.
Speed control
Magnetic speed controllers regulate pallet movement.
Stops
Bumper and hook stops at the pick face.
Lane depth
Examples from 6 to 10 pallets deep; lanes over 65 ft are possible.
