We offer a wide variety of carton flow products, manufactured for long life usage. All of our carton flow solutions are easy to install and nearly maintenance-free.
Gravity-fed carton flow pallet racking is an affordable way to save space, unify order picking activity and increase pick positioning within your existing space. Totes are fed into storage lanes from one aisle and flow to the opposite aisle for full and split-case picking, separating picking and replenishment. Carton Flow can be used as a stand-alone system or integrated with conveyor, pick-to-light and multi-level pick modules.
