Product Description

Flow-Type Steel Racking

Amid the wave of lean and efficient transformation in warehousing, enterprises have increasingly stringent requirements for goods circulation efficiency, space utilization and cost control. To address the pain points of traditional shelves such as inefficient access, space waste and chaotic batch management, we launch a full range of flow racks (also known as flow-type racks). With gravity drive as the core and First-In-First-Out (FIFO) as the core advantage, they are suitable for warehousing scenarios in various industries, helping enterprises reduce costs efficiently and unlock a new paradigm of warehousing management.

Specification

Core Definition of the Product

Derived from the upgrading of medium-sized or heavy-duty beam-type shelves, the core structure of flow racks includes uprights, beams, roller-type flow rails and auxiliary accessories. By setting a scientific inclination angle of 3°-5° for each layer of shelves, goods can flow automatically relying on their own gravity without manual pushing or additional power support, forming a closed-loop operation mode of "storing goods at one end and picking goods at the other end". It achieves a leapfrog upgrade from "passive storage" to "active circulation" and is the preferred equipment for efficient dynamic storage in modern warehousing.

Core Product Advantages

1. First-In-First-Out (FIFO), Building a Solid Line of Quality Control

Relying on the gravity-guided design, it realizes the "First-In-First-Out (FIFO)" inventory management, fundamentally eliminating the problems of goods backlog, expiration, deterioration or depreciation. It is especially suitable for industries with strict requirements on shelf life and batch traceability, such as food, medicine and electronic components. It not only meets industry supervision standards, but also significantly reduces inventory loss and operational risks. After application by some customers, the goods loss rate can be reduced by 25%-30%.

2. High Efficiency and Labor Saving, Greatly Reducing Operational Costs

Adopting the "separate storage and picking" operation mode, replenishers focus on replenishing goods at the high end of the shelves, while pickers do not need to shuttle between shelves and can quickly complete picking at a fixed position, greatly shortening the operation time. Data shows that the manual picking efficiency can be improved by 20%-40%, and the efficiency can even be doubled in some scenarios. At the same time, it reduces the collision loss during goods handling and cuts 20%-50% of repetitive labor input, which meets the needs of enterprises to reduce costs and increase efficiency. In addition, it is easy to operate, and ordinary employees can get started quickly without professional training. 

3. Space Optimization, Improving Storage Utilization

Adopting a multi-layer dense design, it can fully tap the potential of vertical warehousing space. Under the same floor area, the storage capacity is 30%-50% higher than that of ordinary laminate shelves, and the storage density can reach 60%-80%, effectively solving the problem of tight warehousing space for small and medium-sized enterprises. The spacing of flow rails can be flexibly adjusted, and partition rods can be set on adjacent slides to adapt to various loading containers such as turnover boxes, parts boxes and cartons, realizing the orderly storage of all kinds of goods and making the utilization of warehousing space more efficient and reasonable.

4. Excellent Quality, Stable and Durable, Suitable for a Wide Range of Applications

Strictly complying with the ISO9001 quality management standard, the core component - flow rails - are made of high-quality thermoplastic plastic rollers and stainless steel shafts (or wear-resistant aluminum alloy), with low friction coefficient, impact resistance, acid and alkali resistance and non-hygroscopicity. The load-bearing capacity of a single roller can reach 5-6kg, ensuring smooth sliding of goods and not easy to be damaged. The main body of the shelf is made of high-quality Q235B national standard cold-rolled steel, and the surface is treated with high-grade epoxy resin electrostatic powder spraying, which meets the national standard GB6739-2006, with strong adhesion, wear resistance and corrosion resistance. It can adapt to complex warehouse environments such as dust and humidity, and has a service life of more than 10 years. At the same time, it is equipped with limit baffles, anti-collision corners, safety pins and other accessories to fully ensure the safety of goods storage and operation.

5. Flexible Customization, High Cost-Effectiveness, Adapting to Diverse Needs

It has high flexibility and compatibility, and can be used independently or linked with equipment such as forklifts, conveyors and electronic labels to form a semi-automatic warehousing system, adapting to different scenarios from small-batch, multi-batch to large-batch continuous operations. The height of the laminate can be flexibly adjusted in 50mm increments, and the length of the flow rails can be customized according to the size of the turnover box (calculation formula: length of flow rail = number of turnover boxes N × length of turnover box L + 100mm). The inclination angle can be adjusted as needed (standard is about 5 degrees), and the width of the shelf is designed according to the size of the turnover box, with a total load capacity of ≤ 1500kg per unit. Compared with fully automatic stereoscopic warehouses, it has lower procurement and installation costs, no need for complex electrical control systems, and convenient and low-cost later maintenance, making it an ideal choice for small and medium-sized enterprises to improve warehousing efficiency at low cost.

6. Environmental Protection and Energy Saving, Conforming to the Concept of Green Development

No external power, hydraulic or other power support is required. It only relies on the gravity of the goods themselves to realize sliding. There is no pollutant emission or noise interference during operation, which not only saves energy consumption, but also reduces equipment operation loss and daily maintenance costs, conforming to the core demand of modern enterprises for green development.

FAQ

Q1: How to determine the optimal incline angle for flow racks? 
A: The standard incline angle is 3°–5°. We conduct professional calculations based on cargo weight, dimensions, and turnover frequency. 
Light/small goods are recommended at 5° for smooth gravity flow; heavy/large containers at 3° to ensure structural safety. 
Our professional team performs final calibration during installation for optimal performance.
 
Q2: What factors affect the actual load capacity of flow racks? 
A: The core load capacity is based on unit load design (≤1500 kg per unit). 
Actual performance is also affected by loading uniformity, eccentricity, and connection strength between rollers and beams. 
All products undergo strict static and dynamic testing before delivery. Customers only need to follow our Installation & Operation Manual.
