Pallet flow rack is a storage system where pallets are fed from one side, and retrieved from the other. This system uses a combination of rails and wheels. The rails are built on a slight incline, higher on the side that is fed, so that the pallets move forward when they are loaded into the system.
All the pallets placed on a particular level must contain the same SKU and are managed using the First In First Out (FIFO) system.
Advantages of Pallet Flow Rack
Carton flow rack is similar to pallet flow rack, except cartons and/or boxes are being stored instead of pallets.
