Pallet flow rack or gravity flow racking is a type of warehouse racking system that stores pallets on wheel tracks or conveyor rollers and are loaded from one side and discharged on the other side. This provides first-in, first out FIFO product movement for efficient inventory control.

Brakes positioned in the flow lanes control the speed of pallet flow. Load storage of 10+ deep is not uncommon and with multiple levels. This is a very high-density solution that is much more organized than other pallet racking options.

Pallet flow systems or gravity flow systems are the best industrial storage and racking systems to use if you want to utilize a small space. They are a great option for smaller warehouses, as they are taller than they are wide, taking up a very small amount of warehouse space. Forklifts can move around with ease and ground space is maximized. It’s also extremely cost-effective when you consider how much product you can store per square foot.
