Carton Flow Racking, also known as Gravity Flow Racks, utilize roller-type aluminum alloy or sheet metal flow rails. Leveraging the weight of the cargo racks, goods can be stored in one aisle and retrieved from the other, achieving first-in, first-out (FIFO) storage. This facilitates convenient storage and allows for multiple retrievals with a single replenishment.
1. Roller-type aluminum alloy or sheet metal flow rails are installed between the front and rear beams of each shelf level.
2. The unit racking capacity per level is typically under 1,000 kg, and the shelf height is under 2.5 meters.
3. Suitable for process changeovers on both sides of assembly lines and picking operations in distribution centers. Electronic tags can be installed for information-based goods management.
4. The U-shaped channels of the flow rails are made of steel plate, with a load capacity of up to 6 kg per axle and can operate at temperatures as low as -40°C.
5. The rollers are made of high-quality thermoplastic, offering minimal friction, excellent impact resistance, and durability. They are also acid- and alkali-resistant and moisture-resistant. 6. The load capacity per shelf level for unit racking is typically under 1000kg, and the shelf height is under 2.5 meters.
6. The U-shaped grooves of the flow rails are made of steel plate, with a load capacity of 6kg per axle and can operate normally in temperatures as low as -40°C.
7. The front and rear rails, as well as the side panels, are all made of bent steel plate. The front and rear rails ensure that goods are held in place by gravity, while the side panels allow goods to flow freely along the flow rails.
1. The rack columns are roll-formed from cold-rolled steel plate using a dedicated cold-bending machine. The front of the columns is punched with a double row of holes, spaced 50mm apart and arranged in a straight line. The column holes are used to attach to the crossbeams. The two columns face each other, with a horizontal connecting pipe and an inclined connecting pipe in between to connect the two columns to form the rack column.
2. The rack crossbeams are made of "P"-shaped pipes, commonly known as "step beams," with the step height matching the height of the shelves.
3. The racking steel shelves are made of cold-rolled steel sheets, which are bent to the required dimensions on all four sides.
4. The crossbeams and columns are assembled into a frame, and the steel shelves are finally installed. This completes the medium-duty racking system.
5. After the racking components are machined and formed, they undergo grinding, pickling, phosphating, fully automatic electrostatic powder coating, and drying processes before being assembled. The finished racking system boasts a smooth, aesthetically pleasing surface. The shelves can be adjusted vertically in 50mm pitches, making assembly and disassembly easy.
When storing bulk goods, it conveniently provides operators with access to production items, speeding up production lines. Commonly used sliding containers include turnover boxes, parts boxes, and cartons. It is suitable for short-term storage and sorting of large quantities of goods.
It is widely used in manufacturing, commercial, distribution centers, assembly workshops, and warehouses with high shipping volumes.

The "size" of a carton flow rack system isn't one-size-fits-all; it's a custom system that includes various widths, lengths, and heights for the roller lanes, along with adjustable beam dimensions. Standard roller widths include 6", 9", 12", and 15", but widths can go up to 18". Track lengths can be ordered in 1" increments, and the overall height varies by product, such as RhinoDeck's 1.28" or RhinoTrac's 2.625" low-profile units.
This is the price of carton flow racking system that we collate according to the racks made by various carton flow rack manufacturers of different materials, for reference only.
1, Cold-rolled steel carton flow racking system: According to the different load of carton flow racks, the market price is 50$/set~500$/set.
2, Aluminum alloy carton flow rack: According to the different load of carton flow rack, the market price is 75$/set~480$/set.
3, Stainless steel carton flow rack: According to the different load of carton flow rack, the market price is 75$/set~280$/set.
4, Metal carton flow rack: According to the different load of carton flow rack, the market price is 70$/set~890$/set.
5, Iron carton flow rack: According to the load of carton flow rack, the market price is 90$/set~220$/set.
Stability is not easy to control, more electromechanical devices, higher construction cost, difficult to maintain.
1, the stability of the carton flow rack. Rack stability has been one of the key issues in the design of the rack structure, because there are many uncertainties in the design, construction and use of the rack structure, so the stability of the rack in the purchase is essential.
2, Racks in the purchase, see if there is no deformation or uneven phenomenon. Such racks are not strictly inspected at the time of production. Of course, it is also poor quality racks. The material used for the racks must meet the national standards, if it does not meet the national standards, it is also not allowed to buy.
3, Advanced planning of warehouse. Choose carton flow racking system must choose to fit their own warehouse characteristics, so before buying must be planning first, or let professional and technical personnel for customized, so that the utilization of the warehouse will be greatly increased, but also let the possibility of future problems may arise to a minimum.
4, process issues. Choose whether the material of the rack meets the requirements you need, in line with your standards; carton flow rack parts should be degreased, rust removal, pretreatment, electrostatic spraying, high temperature curing and many other links. The quality of the powder is also superior and poor, generally each rack company has a standard color, spraying standard color is generally low cost, if you use a special color, changing the powder will increase the work period, waste powder, so the cost will be relatively high.
5, whether the parts are complete. When you buy the carton flow rack, but also look at the carton flow rack on the parts, screws, etc. if there is no matching complete, then be sure to talk to the carton flow rack supplier, this can avoid some losses.
1, from the rack surface maintenance. racks in the warehouse, especially in small and medium-sized warehouses, uncertainty is predominant, prone to a lot of interference and surface problems. Such as moisture, rust, dust, etc… If the racks appear peeling and rust problems, should be time to deal with these places, the protective paint spraying treatment, these parts of the treatment evenly, to prevent the emergence of secondary problems. At the same time, the warehouse to do timely and targeted ventilation and other processing, to maintain a certain amount of airflow, in order to prevent excessive moisture or other situations occur. At the same time, falling on the rack dust, etc. is also must-do maintenance, dust is not only easy to contaminate the product, and the use of racks will also have a negative impact, such as the rack on the sign, or the pollution of fixed parts and management personnel operations, etc. cause trouble, in not serious when it should be cleaned up in a timely and effective manner.
2, Maintenance from the physical protection of the carton flow rack. This maintenance is mainly manifested in the racks in a reasonable load-bearing operation, to avoid unnecessary rack safety problems occur. In particular, storage racks, each type has its own design standards, load-bearing range is limited. In the actual use should follow this requirement, try not to exceed the standard, to avoid the deformation of the racks and other safety problems of their own. To follow the principle of racks bottom heavy top light, that is, the bottom layer put heavy things, the upper layer put light things. In addition, the treatment of racks, certain occasions to take the necessary anti-creation measures to prevent the occurrence of accidental damage to the physical. Such as anti-collision network, anti-collision bar and other settings.
3, from the daily details of the carton flow rack maintenance. Details of the maintenance often play a key effect. racks this thing often surface can not see why the problem, focus on the details of the hitch, can avoid many problems. Daily operations should be strictly in accordance with the specifications of the designated good storage management engaged in, so that the system specification, operation specification, the details of the specification. Avoid the management problems of light-heartedness and fluke. Usually, the warehouse should be implemented to each detail processing range of hygiene and the regular placement of goods, etc., from the usual, as far as possible to do consistently.
