Pallet flow, or another system?
Pallet flow keeps stock moving in date order and separates loading from picking. Watch how each system is loaded and pick the one that fits what you store.
Pushback
Several pallets of each product, loaded from the aisle.

Dmytro and Lenokers went above and beyond my expectations. We were looking to liquidate a good amount of pallet racking from our warehouse and between our first contact and our warehouse being cleared of our racking, barely a week had passed! They were kind, courteous, and more than professional for the entire experience. I would not hesitate working with them again!

We had to move some inventory around very quickly to make room for a new customer and we ran out of rack space. I called Lenokers and they had exactly what we needed. Within 3 hours we had our racking and we're back to getting organized!
Thanks guys!
Kristin Bowen
It was a pleasure working with Dmytro and his team to improve our warehouse! Timely communications and service.

How is pallet flow racking priced?
By the lanes and the structure: frames, beams and flow lanes for the depth and height you need, plus freight and installation if you want it. New and used are priced side by side. Send your pallet size, your heaviest and lightest pallet, how many pallets of each product you keep and your clear height, and we price the exact list.
How does pallet flow racking work?
Each lane slopes gently from the loading aisle down to the picking aisle. A pallet loaded at the back rolls forward on wheels or rollers, slowed by speed controllers, until it stops at the pick face or against the pallet ahead. Taking the front pallet lets the next one roll forward, so the oldest stock always leaves first. See warehouse layout design.
What pallets work in pallet flow?
One pallet size per system, in good repair, with bottom boards that run across the wheels or rollers. Broken boards or loose wrap can catch and stop a lane, so pallet quality matters more here than in any other rack.
Pallet flow or pushback racking?
Both store several pallets of each product in a lane. Pallet flow is first in, first out and needs a loading aisle and a picking aisle; pushback is last in, first out and works from one aisle. Dated stock usually goes on pallet flow; everything else is often cheaper on pushback.
Does pallet flow work in freezers?
Yes, and it is common there: dense, first in, first out storage in the space you pay to keep cold. Lanes and speed controllers for freezers are specified for the temperature.
Do we need a permit and anchoring?
Often, yes: many cities ask for a permit for storage racking, and racks are anchored to the floor to the local seismic rules. We prepare the permit drawings and anchor every frame we install. See racking permits and rack anchoring.

About pallet flow racking
Pallet flow racking, also called FIFO racking or pallet live storage, stores pallets in sloped lanes that run from a loading aisle to a picking aisle. Gravity does the moving: each pallet rolls forward to the pick face on wheels or rollers, under the control of speed controllers, so the oldest stock always leaves first. It suits food, beverage and other dated stock, and fast pick faces refilled from behind. Lenokers supplies pallet flow racking new and used, shipped from points across the US, supply only or installed by our own crews, with layout, permits and anchoring when the project needs them.
How pallet flow racking works
Lanes run through the rack from the loading aisle at the back to the picking aisle at the front, sloped a fraction of an inch per foot. A driver sets a pallet on the high end; it rolls forward until it stops against the exit bumpers or the pallet ahead. Pickers take from the front, the next pallet rolls up, and the two aisles never cross.
Speed controllers and separators
Speed controllers are braking rollers set along the lane that keep pallets at a steady speed, however heavy they are; their spacing is set by testing for your loads. At the pick face a separator holds the second pallet back, so the front one can be lifted without the weight of the lane behind it.
Lanes, rollers and pallets
Lanes come built: galvanized channels with steel wheels, or full-width rollers for pallets with weaker bottoms, with yellow exit stops and flared entry guides. The slope is set from your heaviest and lightest pallet. One pallet size per system and sound bottom boards keep every lane flowing.
Pallet flow vs pushback racking
Both store several pallets of each product. Pushback loads and unloads from one aisle, last in, first out, and costs less. Pallet flow needs an aisle at each end but keeps stock in date order and separates the trucks that load from the people who pick. For many pallets of very few products, drive-in stores the most.
