CARTON-FLOW RACKING
In use with pallet racking, Carton-flow racks provide an ideal strategy for incorporating case picking with storage of product that picks by the layer from full pallets. The system can be custom engineered to compliment the order filling traffic flow.
With a First-In/First-Out product rotation, carton flow storage racking is commonly found in warehouses with high volume order picking. These gravity driven systems are loaded from the back side and the product (boxes or cartons) flow to the front of the rack system for pick and packing. These products typically include split case and piece picking products such as foods, small parts or small boxes.
Advantages of Carton Flow:
- First in, first out order picking
- Less floor space used
- Lower labor costs
- Less product damage
- Better inventory control
- Can be used in existing pallet rack applications
- Labor time reduction
- Easy to re-slot or reconfigure
