Many warehouses are seeking a storage solution that is dynamically engineered to provide them with high-density storage capabilities, one that refuses to leave faces along the picking aisle empty, and will maximize the throughput of their operation.
Live pallet flow rack storage is a first-in/first-out (FIFO) retrieval system that can double or triple capacity compared to drive-in or conventional pallet rack. It’s ideal for freezer warehouses, food distribution centers, or for storage of high-volume customer goods. If your operation involves a significant amount of pallet or carton order picking, live pallet storage can save you time, warehouse space and money.
In a pallet flow rack system, pallets are loaded at the top end of the slightly inclined rack, and glide safely and effortlessly at a controlled pace to the other side, making full use of the storage space available and ensuring the faces along the picking aisle are stocked. Live gravity pallet flow rack systems by Interlake Mecalux provide “automatic” stock rotation and reduced handling for less product damage. These top-of-the-line systems are offered by DAK Equipment of Elmhurst, Illinois.
These heavy-duty systems are designed for years of trouble-free operation with rugged load-bearing wheels. Pallet flow rack can accommodate a standard pallet load of up to 5,000 lbs. Inventory turnover is quick and efficient, whether you’re moving merchandise strictly on pallets or as part of an order picking system. Every phase of the operation is carefully considered to provide the most efficient, customized system possible. A high density pallet flow rack system by Interlake is ideal if your operation involves a significant amount of pallet or carton order picking of high-volume consumer goods of common SKUs, especially expiration date-sensitive material as in the cases of freezer warehouses or food distribution centers. Interlake Mecalux pallet flow systems provide an infinite variety of layouts depending on the individual flow rates and order picking requirements.
Pallet flow types manufactured by Interlake Mecalux and Excel Storage Systems include those with skate wheels, full rollers, and ABS and/or steel wheels.
