Gravity Flow Racking Systems:
A Smart Storage Solution for Modern Warehouses

Steel Pipe Racking System

Modern warehouses are under increasing pressure to enhance efficiency, optimise storage space, and facilitate faster order fulfilment. As logistics operations continue to evolve, Gravity Flow Racking Systems have become an essential solution for modern warehouse design.

A gravity flow racking system is a high-density storage solution that utilises inclined roller tracks to enable products to move automatically from the loading side to the picking side via gravity. This system reduces manual handling while improving picking efficiency.

How Does a Gravity Flow Racking System Work?



Step-by-Step Flow Process

1. Products are loaded from the rear of the rack
2. Roller tracks are installed at a slight incline
3. Gravity moves products forward automatically
4. Pickers retrieve items from the front
5. The next product flows forward instantly (FIFO)

Types of Flow Racking Systems

Gravity flow racking systems are available in different configurations to suit various load sizes, picking methods, and storage requirements. Selecting the right type ensures efficient product flow, improved safety, and optimal warehouse performance.

Improved Picking Speed

Products flow directly to the picking face, reducing walking distance.

FIFO Inventory Control

Ensures proper stock rotation for time-sensitive goods.

Optimised Storage Space

High-density design maximises available warehouse space.

Reduced Labour and Equipment Usage

Less forklift movement improves safety and reduces costs.
