We offer a wide variety of carton flow products, designed to handle frequent product mix changes. The racking systems are custom designed for your specific application requirements and are adaptable to roll formed or structural racking.
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.
