About Carton Flow Racking
Carton flow racks require no motors, electricity or manual operations — they are powered by gravity alone, leveraging inclined shelves with rollers to move items in a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) flow. Perfect for warehouses with numerous SKUs and split-case or piece picking, carton flow racking enhances visibility and improves fulfillment accuracy.
Carton flow racking is a dynamic storage system designed for continuous inventory rotation. It separates the loading and retrieval aisles for more effective FIFO stocking and picking. Unlike static racking, where stocking and picking happen in the same space, carton flow systems use gravity to move products from the loading aisle to the retrieval aisle.
Options include roller or skate wheel rails, with configurations tailored to inventory needs:
- Full-bed skate wheels for varying carton widths
- Full-width steel rollers for uniform carton sizes
- Flow rails or angled shelves for specialized setups
With angled shelves and rails to suit your operation, carton flow racking streamlines picking operations, reduces travel time, and boosts productivity. It’s the ideal system for optimizing space, speeding up order fulfillment, and enhancing warehouse efficiency.
Benefits of Carton Flow Racking
Carton flow racking offers several advantages for your
warehouse or distribution center:
Increase Pick Slots
With up to 40 pick positions per bay, you can drastically expand the number of pick slots to accommodate more products and varying sizes.
Reduce Travel Time
Carton flow puts more products within reach. Workers won’t need to travel long distances to retrieve items.
Manage High-Turnover Inventory
Carton flow racking is designed to improve throughput, even for your fastest-moving inventory.
Integrate with Pick Modules
Easily build carton flow racking into your pick modules or as an add-on unit for existing systems.
Double Restocking Speeds
Gravity flow restockers simply slice off the top of the case and slide it into the lane from the back of the rack, avoiding any interference with pickers on the front side.

Things to Consider Before Purchasing
Carton flow racking is a versatile solution for optimizing inventory management and fulfillment. But before you make a purchasing decision, be sure to consider the following:
- What type of rollers do you need? Carton flow racking is available in several different roller configurations. Take stock of your inventory to better understand which configuration is right for you.
- Full-case or split-case picking? Split-case and full-case picking each demand a specific type of carton flow rack. Define your storage and picking needs before you make a purchase.
- Standalone or addition? Do you need a standalone racking system fitted with uprights? Or can you attach carton flow shelving to an existing pick module, pallet rack, or other storage system?
- Setting and flow angles? Certain product details, like weight, may require a higher or lower pitch. Be sure the carton flow rack you’re considering can accommodate these changes.
- How wide do you need the tracks? Be sure to pay close attention to track width. Product width determines lane width, and cartons must be able to maintain up to 3” of overhang on each side without obstructing flow.

FAQs About Carton Flow Racks
When Should I Choose Carton Flow Racking?
Manufacturers design carton flow systems for high-volume storage applications like case-pick of piece-pick. They work well whether your SKUs are uniform or varied in shape and size.
Carton flow racking is also ideal for continuous inventory rotation. Companies with date-sensitive products stored in cartons or cases can benefit from streamlined FIFO rotation.
What Are Some Advantages and Disadvantages of Carton Flow Racking?
The main advantage of carton flow racking is that it optimizes high-density storage of cartons and light products. On the other hand, carton flow components like roller tracks do require additional maintenance throughout the lifespan of the equipment.
Do Carton Flow Racks Need Anchors?
Yes. We recommend that all racks, regardless of the product they store, have the proper anchoring and are bolted securely to the ground. While the products used with carton flow racking are generally lighter than traditional palletized loads, you still risk worker and facility safety if you don’t anchor your racking system.
Why Should You Use Carton Flow Over Static Racking Systems?
While static racking still has a place in most warehouses, it presents some significant problems for certain order picking operations. Without streamlined, gravity flow for your inventory, workers will inevitably spend more time and energy retrieving items. They may even store the same product in different locations to alleviate this pain point. This causes storage sprawl and creates an inefficient storage system.
Can I Use Carton Flow Racks With Other Racking Systems?
Carton flow racking systems are flexible, both in terms of configuration and product loads. They’re especially versatile when combined with other racking systems. For instance, you can use carton flow on lower levels for easy picking while keeping pallet storage racking on upper levels for backup storage.
