What is pallet flow racking?

Pallet flow (gravity flow) uses inclined roller beds so pallets move from the load face to the pick face under gravity, enabling dense FIFO storage.

Yes. Product loaded at the rear rolls forward, so the oldest pallets are picked first when the system is operated correctly.

When is pallet flow worth it over selective?

When high turnover or date-sensitive product needs true FIFO and you can justify denser lanes for fewer SKUs. Selective remains better when you need random access to many SKUs.

Pallet Flow Racking

Gravity rollers move pallets from the load side to the pick side, giving true FIFO rotation in dense storage. Load at the back, pick at the front, and the system rotates stock for you — ideal for high-turnover and date-sensitive product where FIFO is not optional.
