Optimize Space, Pick Rates & Accuracy - Carton Flow Rack Does It All
Carton flow rack is a gravity-fed storage system for cartons, totes, and individual items. It installs into standard racking and can be used as a stand-alone, ergonomic pick zone or as part of a pick module. Cartons are loaded and flow on slightly inclined rails to the opposite aisle for picking. The system separates picking and replenishment activities to save up to 75% labor costs vs. static storage. First-In/First-Out (FIFO) inventory rotation minimizes shelf time and keeps inventory fresh.
