Carton Flow Racks

Carton flow racks are used in e-commerce fulfillment centers, retail distribution, pharmaceutical warehouses, food and beverage facilities, and manufacturing operations where fast, accurate order picking is important. Workers spend less time searching for inventory because gravity automatically advances product to the front of each lane.

There are several flow lane styles available, including skate wheel and roller systems. Carton flow racks can be customized to support nearly any carton size or product weight helping maintain First-In, First-Out (FIFO) inventory rotation.

Carton flow racks are gravity-fed storage systems designed to improve order picking, inventory rotation, and warehouse efficiency. By using sloped flow lanes, cartons automatically move from the loading side of the rack to the picking face as inventory is removed. This design reduces picker travel, improves product visibility, and helps keep fast-moving inventory readily accessible. Carton flow racks are commonly installed within standard pallet rack frames. This allows for increased storage density without expanding warehouse space.

Companies designing new picking operations often reference the Cart Track Carton Flow Specification Sheet or the Dyna-Flo Staggered Wheel Carton Flow Specification Sheet. These help in selecting the proper lane width, wheel spacing, slope, and load capacity for their application. Facilities that need adaptable workstations can also benefit from a Mobile Carton Flow Rack.  These racks combine gravity flow technology and portable shelving to make flexible picking stations.
