Things to know before buying Carton Flow rack

Carton Flow rack’s load

Carton Flow rack has a light load, maximum capacity of 100kg/level. Therefore, this type of rack is very suitable for storing small, light, discrete and bulk goods. However, when using, you need to pay attention to the total weight of goods on the rack to avoid the case that the total weight is higher than the maximum load of the rack and causes damage to the rack.

Load and unload method when using Carton Flow rack

Carton Flow racks do not require the use of a forklift when loading and unloading. This process can be done completely manually (manual picking). For high levels that are out of reach, businesses will need to invest in more industrial mobile ladder or ladder picking trolley. The cost for either type of ladder is still a lot cheaper than using a forklift.

Carton Flow rack's maximum height

Since this is a lightweight racking and the picking is manual, the height will be more limited compared to medium and heavy duty racks. The maximum height of the Carton Flow rack is 3.5 meters. This is also an abundant height for businesses to comfortably use because the height of each rack is quite low.

Principles of commodity management

Carton Flow racks are intelligently designed, the rack is tilted to one side (the pick-up side), so the goods are always pushed from the input side to the output side. This is completely suitable for businesses that apply the principle FIFO (First In First Out - goods placed on the rack first will be consumed first).

Advantages of Carton Flow rack

•  Businesses can combine Carton Flow racks with light goods below with other types of pallet racking at the top to form multi-functional storage racks.
•  Applying the laws of physics to push the goods towards the unloading side helps the business save the effort of arranging.
•  Although the goods automatically roll on the racks, the speed is still controlled thanks to the deceleration system on the rollers, which helps to keep the goods safe and prevent them from falling off the racks.
•  Because picking up goods is in the manual form, the loading and unloading speed is also faster and easier to observe.
•  When the goods are taken down, there will be empty spaces on the racks, just by observing will let us know the inventory level of each type of item.
