Steel King’s Gravity Flow Rack Ensures Optimal Space For Your Warehouse Products

SK3400® is a gravity flow rack storage system consisting of flow rails that are set at an incline in the rack structure, allowing loads placed on one end of the rack to move down to the unloading end. This gravity flow pallet storage system is ideal for FIFO (first in – first out) inventory management.

How Does The Gravity Flow Pallet Storage System Work?

Rollers let the loads move smoothly while self-energized speed controllers act as gentle brakes. As a load is removed, the loads behind it move forward automatically. SK3400 gravity flow rack systems allow users to increase product storage density by nearly 90% over selective racks.

Steel King’s teardrop pallet rack is stronger

The strength of Steel King’s SK2000® closed-back upright frames make our rack safer and more functional than open-back rack. In fact, independent engineering tests have confirmed that, when compared to open-back column, SK2000 pallet racking has:

250% more front impact strength
44 times more twist resistance
68% more side impact resistance

Learn more about the strength of SK2000 here
Columns / Frames are available in multiple sizes and thicknesses.
Step Beams are made from the same high-strength closed tubing as the columns and are available in many profiles and lengths.
Bracing is secured with full fillet weld that is 4 times more weld than many competitors’ racks.
The light weight and strength of SK2000 boltless tubular rack make it an ideal choice for selective rack, gravity flow, pushback and pick modules.
Whether you’re warehousing inventory or have special fulfillment requirements, Steel King is always available to help you analyze your pallet racking needs to develop a system that works for you.
