Flow Rack
Advantages of Flow Rack
1. Enhanced Operational Efficiency:
- Significant Speed Improvement: The goods slide down the racks at a speed of 0.3-0.5 meters per
second, resulting in a 50% increase in picking efficiency compared to traditional racking systems. This
rapid movement directly translates to faster order fulfillment cycles.
- Integration with Electronic Tagging Systems: Compatibility with Electronic Picking Systems (utilizing
RFID or barcode technologies) allows for near-instantaneous (second-level) location identification and
digital management of goods. This integration streamlines the picking process and enhances overall
inventory visibility.
2. Space Optimization:
- Maximized Storage Density: By minimizing the required aisle space (up to 30% reduction), flow racking
significantly increases storage density, often reaching three times that of conventional racking. This
makes it an ideal solution for facilities looking to maximize their cubic storage capacity.
- Flexible Layout Adaptability: The racking system can be deployed as individual units or seamlessly
combined and expanded to fit awkward or irregular warehouse layouts, providing versatile storage
solutions that adapt to the specific dimensions of the space.
3. Ergonomic Design for Personnel:
- Reduced Physical Strain: Goods automatically slide directly to the picking station, dramatically reducing
the walking distance required for manual operations by 40% to 70%. This minimizes unnecessary
movement and fatigue.
- Human-Centric Height Design: The system is designed with ergonomic considerations, typically
recommending picking heights between 0 to 1.8 meters. This alignment with human physical capabilities
significantly lowers the risk of strain and discomfort associated with reaching or bending excessively
during picking tasks.

Flow Racking
(also known as Gravity Flow Racking) is a type of warehousing equipment designed based on the principle of gravity sliding. The storage and retrieval principle of flow racking is the same as that of gravity racking, but it stores goods in cartons and utilizes manual handling for both storage and retrieval. One end of the rack is designated for replenishment, while the other end serves as the picking area. It utilizes inclined tracks (with a slope of 3°-5°) constructed from roller-equipped aluminum alloy or sheet metal flow channels to enable the automatic sliding of goods.
This mechanism ensures a "First-In, First-Out" (FIFO) flow of goods, thereby enhancing picking efficiency.
