Carton flow racks, also known as case flow racking, are a type of storage system that uses gravity to streamline the process of order picking and stock replenishment. With carton flow racks, products are stored on inclined shelves with roller tracks that allow cartons to flow from the loading end to the picking end. As the cartons are removed from the picking end, new ones flow forward to replace them. This system speeds up order picking, reduces labour costs, and increases storage density.

The key benefits of carton flow racks are improved efficiency, greater organization, and increased productivity. By providing easy access to products and minimizing the need for manual handling, carton flow racks are an excellent warehouse racking solution for businesses looking to optimize their storage and order picking processes.

Installation and Maintenance

Proper installation and maintenance are crucial to ensure that your carton flow rack performs at its best. To install the rack, you will need tools such as a drill, fasteners, and a measuring tape. Next, assemble the rack’s components, which typically include rails, frames, and rollers. It’s important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully to ensure the rack is stable and secure.

Maintenance includes regular cleaning to prevent debris buildup and inspecting the rollers for damage.

Racking Accessories and Customization

One of the most significant advantages of carton flow racks is their potential for customization and accessory additions. For instance, you may want to consider installing dividers or lane guides to help keep products or cartons organized and on track as they move through the system. There are also enhanced rollers, brakes, and whorls or specialized incline and decline sections.

Additionally, some carton flow racks can be customized to work seamlessly with your existing pallet racks in Toronto. This makes it easier to integrate this type of racking into your current warehouse setup, whether it’s a selective pallet rack, pallet flow rack, or cantilever rack system.
