What is carton flow racking?

Carton flow is gravity-fed storage for cases or totes. Lanes feed a pick face so product rolls forward as the front carton is picked.

Carton flow vs pallet flow?

Pallet flow moves full pallets; carton flow moves cases or smaller units for piece/case picking. They often appear together in pick modules.

Is carton flow good for order picking?

Yes. It is built for high-volume order fulfillment where pickers need a full, organized face without constant restock walking.

Carton Flow Racking

Gravity-fed lanes for cases and smaller items instead of full pallets, feeding a pick face for order fulfillment. Cartons roll forward as the front one is picked, keeping the face full and the picker moving. Best for high-volume each/case picking in fulfillment operations.
