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.

Gravity Flow Rack In-Warehouse Applications & Benefits

The modular design of the SK3400 allows for easy expansion and can fully integrate with other Steel King rack systems. Benefits include:

• Full range of standard sizes and capacities
• Installs easily by your personal or ours
• Economical to purchase and maintain
• Connection plates welded to the beam
• Pawl – Anti-Backup Device
• The exit beam serves as a pallet stop

Other applications of gravity flow rails include our keg flow and carton flow rack.
