The UNARCO Pallet Flow Rack system is driven by gravity. It is
perfect for fast-moving product with first-in/first out (FIFO) stock rotation. Heavy-duty
skate wheels on sloped shelves allow palletized loads to flow forward for picking.
The high-density storage utilizes space with fewer aisles. Pallet Flow can send
pallets through standard pallet rack or to Carton Flow Systems consisting of multi-level
picking modules to split loads into boxes or piece parts. Warehouse floor space
utilization can be maximized with fewer aisles by storing pallets back to back.
Unlike in static systems such as Drive-In racking, product flows back to a picking
position and is easily accessible to the operator
Smooth rolling metal skate wheels on sturdy rails come pre-assembled
so that installation only requires dropping them into bays and securing with a tek
screw.
In-line wheels come on 2", 3" or
4" centers and staggered wheels are available for heavier loads on 1-1/2"
or 2" centers. Flow lanes are easily created by dropping the track into the
bay which fits securely in the step of the beam and a nylon stop at the end keeps
the pallet in the bay. Pallets are loaded from one side of the racking and selected
from the other. As each load is removed, the load behind moves forward automatically
to the picking position. This system is ideal for rotating perishables or date-sensitive
inventory.
There is no limit to the size of a project or storage density. Deep Lane Pallet
Flow can be designed to store as many as twenty pallets deep with the use of electro-mechanical
or pneumatic speed-braking systems. Simple braking systems can be placed throughout
flow lanes to control pallet flow speed.
