How Much Do You Know About Flow Racks?

Sep 16, 2024Leave a message

Flow racks, also known as sliding racks, use roller aluminum alloy, sheet metal and other flow strips. They use the deadweight of the cargo rack to store goods from one channel and pick up goods from the other channel to achieve first-in-first-out, convenient storage, and multiple pick-ups at one time. Flow racks have high storage efficiency and are suitable for short-term storage and picking of large quantities of goods.


Flow racks can be equipped with electronic tags to achieve easy management of goods. Commonly used sliding containers include turnover boxes, parts boxes and cartons, which are suitable for large quantities of goods and short-term storage and picking.


Application scenarios: widely used in distribution centers, assembly workshops and warehouses with high shipping frequency.

Structural description

  • The flow strips of the flow rack are directly connected to the front and rear beams and the middle support beams, and the beams are directly hung on the pillars. The installation inclination of the flow strip depends on the size and weight of the cargo box and the depth of the flow rack, usually 5% to 9%.
  • The load-bearing capacity of the smooth roller is 6kg/piece. When the goods are heavy, 3-4 smooth rollers can be installed on one roller. Usually, a support beam is installed every 0.6m in the depth direction to increase the rigidity of the smooth roller. When the roller is long, the roller can be separated by a partition. Brake pads need to be installed at the pickup end to slow down the goods and reduce the impact.

Specific features of the shelf
1. The roller design realizes the first-in-first-out of goods. The roller-type aluminum alloy equal flow bar is used to realize the first-in-first-out of goods by using the dead weight of the goods. The goods are put in from the back of the shelf and taken out from the front. And it can realize one-time replenishment and multiple pick-ups.
2. The fully assembled structure can adjust the upper and lower layer spacing arbitrarily. All fully assembled structures are adopted, and the disassembly, transportation, adjustment, and movement are simple and convenient. The layer height can be adjusted in multiples of 50mm according to the needs of the goods, and the storage is convenient and flexible.
3. Large-volume storage The space utilization rate is increased by more than 50%. It is suitable for the storage of large quantities of similar goods. When used with standard plastic turnover boxes or cartons, the space utilization rate is increased by more than 50%; it is especially suitable for use in auto parts factories.
4. Realize easy management of goods. It can be combined with electronic tags and barcode systems to realize the informatization, standardization and standardization of asset management work, and comprehensively improve the efficiency and management level of the company's asset management work.
