Gravity Flow Pallet Racks in Portland, Oregon
Gravity flow pallet racks are an excellent solution for warehouses that handle perishable goods, frozen storage, or any products with high turnover. Their design supports first-in/first-out (FIFO) product rotation, reducing the need for multiple traffic aisles and improving efficiency.
How Gravity Flow Racks Work
Built at a 4-degree angle, pallets naturally move forward along roller tracks by gravity.
Brake rollers control speed, preventing pallets from moving too quickly.
Separators hold the front pallet for safe unloading, while others remain in queue.
Unlike drive-in racking, forklifts do not enter the structure, saving time and increasing safety.
Configurations and Options
Available in depths from two to twelve pallets deep, suitable for both shallow case picking and deep lane storage.
Rail configurations can be tailored for different pallet types and load weights.
Built from roll-formed or structural channel steel for durability.
Options include full-width lane rollers to support irregular or non-standard pallets.
Safety features: ramp stops at exits and speed controllers to prevent runaway pallets.
