PALLET ROLLER RACKING SYSTEM

A compact storage solution for pallets where the load moves by gravity, maximizing the use of space.

Dynamic storage system: operational flexibility and perfect FIFO rotation

Roller racking systems are a compact structure consisting of storage channels equipped with rollers and placed at a slight incline, allowing pallets to roll forward by themselves. The load on pallets is introduced at the highest part of the channel and, under the influence of gravity, moves to the other end where it is ready to be retrieved.

In a dynamic warehouse, there are no aisles, increasing the storage capacity. Moreover, dynamic storage allows for the implementation of a FIFO strategy (the first pallet loaded is the first one to be retrieved), facilitating efficient inventory management.

ADVANTAGES OF PALLET ROLLER RACKING SYSTEMS

Maximum use of space: pallet roller racks are high-density storage solutions that significantly increase warehouse capacity.
Perfect product rotation: the system is compatible with FIFO (First In, First Out) and promotes excellent inventory control.
Time-saving: all SKUs are available in the same aisle, allowing quick location of any product, reducing forklift maneuvering time, and speeding up pallet retrieval.
Separation of loading and unloading: pallet loading and unloading occur from separate aisles, allowing forklifts to operate uninterrupted without getting in each other's way.
Multiple SKUs: each channel contains one SKU, but different SKUs can be stored in each channel.
Lower energy consumption: when used in refrigerated warehouses, this reduces energy consumption as the volume to be cooled is smaller.
Safety and reliability: the various components of Mecalux's pallet roller racks are designed to eliminate all risks to operators and goods.

APPLICATIONS OF ROLLER RACKING SYSTEMS

Ideal solution for multiple sectors in industry and distribution

Storage in roller racks is the perfect solution for companies that want to maximize available storage space and streamline inventory handling to ensure efficient and error-free storage of goods.

Storage of perishable goods

Managing products with an expiration date is easier in sectors such as food and pharmaceuticals.

Temporary storage between work zones

These racks can connect two work zones, typically the production zone and the shipping zone.

Managing a temporary buffer

The flow of goods in temporary storage areas, such as for ready-to-ship orders, is made dynamic.

Cold storage

This compact system helps reduce energy consumption in refrigerated areas.

FAQ

Question - answer

What are flow-through racks?

Rollover racks, also known as pallet flow racks or pallet flow, are the most dynamic system on pallet storage on the market. Their structure is a combination of racks and angled rails with rollers over which the load slides. Thus, gravity is used to load and unload pallets. Available storage space is also better utilized by eliminating aisles.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of flow-through racks?

Storage on flow racks offers several advantages. Above all, it is the most flexible way to compact goods with the best operational performance. Thus, it is an ideal solution for different types of warehouses. Its implementation ensures excellent inventory control. Since the aisle for loading and unloading is separated, there is no interference. And because only one SKU is stored from each storage aisle, it is easier to find and retrieve products. Rollover racks also naturally guarantee maximum use of available space. Installing deep channels can lead to some capacity loss in height, due to the slope required for the system to function (about 4%).

What are the differences between flow-through racks and drive-in racks?

One of the main differences between the two systems is how the entry and exit is done. In drive-in racks, the forklift drives through the storage aisles to place the pallets. With roll-through racks, on the other hand, the forklift does not drive around, as it places the pallets at the entrance to the chosen storage channel and rolls them to their place completely autonomously. This makes dropping off and taking out pallets in roll-through racks significantly faster and safer. Another important difference is the variety of SKUs stored, which is greater in pallet flow-through racks. Indeed, each channel can contain a different SKU, whereas in drive-in racks, all channels in the same storage lane contain only one SKU.

What is the difference between flow-through racks and pushback racks?

The main difference is the way inventory management is done. In flow racks, there are two aisles (one for loading and one for unloading) and the FIFO (First In First Out) principle is used. This means that the first pallets placed in a channel are also the first ones taken out. For pushback racking, on the other hand, LIFO (Last In First Out) applies: since there is only one aisle, the last pallet placed in a channel is taken out first. In warehouses where perishable goods are managed (food or pharmaceutical items, for example), flow-through racks are the ideal alternative. SKUs with the shortest shelf life can easily be taken out on priority.
