Flow Storage System
Flow storage systems use gravity-assisted rollers to improve stock rotation and product movement efficiency. These systems are commonly used for fast-moving inventory operations and help improve warehouse workflow organization
Why Choose Our Services
we design and install flow storage systems that use gravity-fed rollers to improve stock rotation and product movement efficiency — ideal for fast-moving inventory operations where FIFO (first-in, first-out) accuracy is critical.
Common uses
Factories (extra storage/office), warehouses, retail shops (e.g., hardware stores), showrooms.
Frame structure: Roll-formed or structural steel uprights and beams (similar to pallet racking but with specific inclines).
Roller tracks (wheel or roller lanes): Heavy-duty galvanized steel wheels (for pallets) or nylon/steel rollers (for cartons/totes), mounted on steel rails.
Flow rails (lane dividers): Steel or aluminum profiles that separate lanes and guide products.
Brake and speed controllers: Adjustable friction devices to control descent speed (especially for heavier items or tall pallets).
End stops (pick faces): Removable or fixed stops at the unloading end to hold the first product securely while allowing easy removal.
Incline supports: Adjustable steel legs to create the necessary slope (typically 3‑5 degrees for pallets, 5‑8 degrees for cartons).
Safety accessories: Back guards, side rails, and aisle-facing protectors.
Surface finish: Powder coating (RAL colors) or galvanized for cold storage/wet areas.
FIFO accuracy – Flow storage ensures the oldest inventory moves to the picking face first, reducing obsolescence and improving stock rotation.
Labor efficiency – Forklifts only load from the rear; products advance automatically. No need to reposition pallets inside lanes.
Space optimization – High-density lanes (up to 12 pallets deep) with gravity movement, eliminating aisles between lanes.
Reduced forklift travel – Loaders and pickers operate at opposite ends, cutting travel time by 50% or more.
Ideal for fast-moving SKUs – Perfect for high-throughput distribution centers, manufacturing buffer zones, and cold storage.
Custom incline and speed control – We adjust slope and add brake rollers to prevent product damage or runaway loads.
Complete service – Assessment, design, supply, installation, integration with pick faces, and maintenance.
Free site assessment & layout proposal – We analyze your product velocity, depth requirements, and forklift flow, then provide a 2D layout with expected throughput improvement.
Transparent quotation – Itemised: roller tracks, frame structure, end stops, installation, and any accessories.
Workmanship warranty – 1 year on structural integrity and roller operation.
