Pallet Flow Racks: Storage According to the FIFO Principle

Pallet live storage racks are special storage rack systems that offer efficient storage while always ensuring the removal of the oldest available goods (FIFO). They use gravity to automatically move pallets from the loading side to the retrieval side.

Pallet Flow Racks for Efficient Storage

The use of flow racks is ideal for storing goods with an expiry date or when batches or product series need to be monitored. Here, the pallet stored first is always removed first (FIFO - First In First Out). Pallet live storage racks create a clear separation of provision and removal processes without any interruption due to picking processes. Short access routes ensure additional efficiency, as does the easy connection to a conveyor system.

The pallets are guided down to the removal side via a roller conveyor with an angle of inclination. This eliminates gaps between the individual pallets. Shelf aisles and your available storage space are optimally utilized.

Your advantages:

  • FIFO principle

  • Up to 60 % space saving compared to conventional pallet racking

  • Higher productivity thanks to the separation of supply and order picking

  • Solution for non-stackable pallets

  • Fewer picking errors thanks to compact product overview

  • Energy-efficient function possible through gravity automation alone using AGVs

  • Fast order picking by shortening access routes

They can be operated manually with front and reach trucks, but also automatically using AGVs. Flow racks work solely by gravity and do not require any electrical systems. Loading and unloading are clearly separated, which improves organization. Additionally, our pallet flow racks can be easily integrated into an automated material flow, making them suitable for fully automated warehouses.

Different Designs for Different Requirements

At SSI SCHAEFER, you can obtain pallet live storage racking that is optimally tailored to your needs. For example, we can adapt the roller conveyor with brake rollers and different roller pitches to your stored goods. Several variants are possible with regard to order picking, including a picking tunnel on the lowest level.

Apart from storage organization according to the FIFO principle, the advantages of our pallet live storage racking lie in the efficient use of space and volume.

They are used in various industries, including food and beverage, retail, logistics, pharmaceutical and wherever fast and efficient storage and picking is required.
