RC Racks pallet flow rack with gravity roller beds

Pallet Flow Rack

The pallet flow (dynamic) rack is ideal for high-turnover products. It works by gravity: the pallet enters at the back of the system and is unloaded at the front, guaranteeing first in, first out.

High-density rack with a shuttle cart in a warehouse
Yes, when
  • Perishables, batches or expiry dates that demand FIFO
  • High turnover with few SKUs per lane
  • You want to separate the loading aisle from the unloading aisle
Consider another system when
  • Many SKUs with low turnover → Selective Rack
  • You accept LIFO and want lower cost → Push Back
  • Case picking by gravity → carton flow, ask engineering

Key benefits

  • More pallet positions

    Deep lanes with a single loading face and a single unloading face.

  • First in, first out

    True FIFO without operator intervention.

  • Fewer moves and aisles

    Fewer forklift movements per pallet moved.

  • Low maintenance and accessories

    Rollers, brakes and end-of-lane stops.

True FIFO, without moving pallets by hand

The pallet flow system is ideal for high-turnover products. It works by gravity: the pallet enters at the back of the system and is unloaded at the front, so the first pallet in is the first pallet out.

How it works

Each lane has roller beds with a calibrated slope. When the front pallet is removed, the next one advances to the stop. Roller brakes control the speed so the pallet arrives without impact.

How it is configured

  • Frames from 72″ to 396″ and lanes as long as your turnover requires.
  • Roller beds, brakes and stops sized for your pallet.
  • Upright protectors and signage to NOM-006-STPS and NOM-026-STPS.

Manufacturing process

  1. 01Design and configuration

    Load capacity, product dimensions, operating dynamics and available space.

  2. 02Manufacturing and finishes

    In-plant production with finishes that resist the working environment.

  3. 03Installation and accessories

    Correct assembly, safety accessories and periodic maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

How is the pallet speed controlled?

With roller brakes distributed along the lane and end-of-lane stops, calibrated for your pallet weight.

What slope does the lane have?

It is calibrated per project according to weight, pallet type and lane length; engineering defines it in the data sheet.

Which products suit a pallet flow rack?

High-turnover products with expiry dates or batch control that need true FIFO: the first pallet in is the first out without moving the others.
