Roll Into Efficiency with Carton Flow Rack
Carton flow rack is a dynamic storage system designed to optimize order-picking efficiency. Utilizing gravity, it ensures a continuous flow of products always replenishing the pick aisle. The consolidated footprint maximizes SKU storage space while minimizing travel time to find and pick items.
Carton flow is ideal for high-volume, split-case, and single-item picking. By organizing SKUs in lanes and integrating with pick technologies like pick-to-light or voice picking, it streamlines operations and reduces labor costs. Ultimately, carton flow rack empowers warehouses and distribution centers to meet the challenges of increasing order fulfillment demands, improving picking rates, and enhancing overall operational efficiency.

Getting to Know Your Carton Flow Rack!
Your carton flow tracks are installed right into standard pallet racking or stand-alone racking.
A carton flow track is made up of wheels or rollers configured for your unique inventory specifications. There are several styles of carton flow, so it is important to tailor your solution to your needs.
Tracks are mounted on a slight incline so that items loaded into the lanes flow automatically down to the pick aisle. As one carton is removed from the picking face, the next carton moves forward, ensuring continuous flow. The separate load and pick aisles keep congestion minimized in the pick aisle and allow for simultaneous activity.
This system supports both full-case and split-case picking, making it ideal for warehouses with diverse inventory requirements. Additionally, carton flow systems can be integrated with conveyors, and picking automation, such as pick-to-light, voice picking, AMRs, robotic arms, etc. to enhance fulfillment speed. Carton flow rack is often found in pick modules where several storage solutions are paired together in a confined work area to maximize throughput.
