Firstly: Each load unit is designed with an inclined slope, in order to facilitate the principle of gravity to take effect when the pallet is placed on the shelf. When a pallet moves, the pallet immediately moves to fill the empty position.

Second: The difference of this system compared to other heavy duty racks comes from the design of the roller system. Buffering rollers help the system improve cargo movement by up to 75% compared to conventional racks.

Advantages of pallet flow racking in goods storage application

Roller racking allows to hold from 2 to 20 pallets depending on the depth of the shelf, ideal for warehouses that need to transport goods continuously.

With the racking structure, the warehouse only needs a single aisle at the top of the shelf, so most of the space will be effectively optimized for the density of goods storage inside the warehouse. Prevent the situation of wasting floor space.

Reaching high technical standards, the safety roller system holds goods from warehouses of pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs, electronic components to warehouses of heavy industrial finished products.

The forklift also does not need to be manipulated too much inside the system, saving effective human resources and maintaining work efficiency.

From the benefits that the roller pallet racking brings to the warehouse, the investor can completely save a lot of related costs from: investment costs for lifting distances, costs of equipment wear and tear, and personnel costs. management, ...

How does the flow pallet racking work on the principle?

• Rules when importing goods of roller shelves

Because the goods are entered into the system at a higher position, when the first pallet is placed on the shelf, under the push of the forklift when the second pallet is put on the rack, they push the first pallet in. And so on until the shelf is filled.

• Principles when exporting goods of roller shelves

When the first pallet is taken off the rack, the pallets after it will gradually slide forward to fill the empty position - The direction is designed lower. To prevent the pallet from sliding too quickly and moving out of the rack, the roller is designed with a deceleration device. Ensure the safety of the warehouse, especially the warehouse with heavy goods.

Although an ideal storage solution, the initial investment cost of roller pallet racking is relatively expensive. They are quite tall compared to other storage systems. Therefore, to save initial costs, contractors should contact the manufacturer and install directly to receive the best quality commitment and the most appropriate price.
