Both belong to the first-in-first-out operation mode, but there are still many differences between the two racks.
The details are as follows:
1. The load-bearing capacity of the two racks is different. The load-bearing capacity of the flow rack is about 500kg, while the gravity rack can carry goods within 1000kg. The load-bearing capacity of the gravity rack is stronger than that of the flow rack.
2. The production costs of the two racks are different. The manufacturing cost of the gravity rack is higher than that of the flow rack, and the company can choose according to its actual needs.
3. The internal structure of the two racks is different. Because the materials selected during production are different, the material used for the flow rack is the flow strip, while the gravity rack uses rollers with stronger load-bearing capacity. At the same time, in order to prevent the goods from falling too fast, some damping devices are usually installed. Among them, because the two racks are made of different materials, the load-bearing capacity of the flow rack is worse than that of the gravity rack. The material used for flow racks is flow strips, while the gravity racks use rollers with stronger load-bearing capacity. In order to prevent the goods from falling too fast, some damping devices will be installed.
Therefore, the manufacturing cost of gravity racks will be higher than that of flow racks, so companies should choose according to their actual needs.
The following are the differences in the application scenarios of the two types of racks:
1. Flow racks: widely used in manufacturing, commerce, distribution centers, assembly workshops, and warehouses with high shipping frequency.
2. Gravity racks: mainly used in occasions with high requirements for cargo time difference (such as ensuring continuous supply of materials on the production line).
