Gravity Fed Racking Systems

Order picking or 'live storage' systems are used for high-density storage of products which need to be stored and dispatched with a first-in, first-out capability.
Pallet live storage combines good space utilisation with automatic stock rotation for palletised loads, making it particularly effective in the food industry.
It is also effective where a high number of product varieties are to be stored.
Pallets are loaded onto inclined lanes of gravity rollers. When a load is taken from the picking face, the next pallet rolls onto position, with replenishment stock loaded at the opposite (upper) end of the lane.
Movement of the pallets within the lane is regulated by a series of speed controllers.
Carton live storage, for hand loaded items, operates on a similar principle, with stock loaded and picked from inclined roller lanes tailored to the size and weight of goods stored.
Order picking time and errors are minimised with goods presented precisely at the picking face, providing an excellent means of storage in fast-moving assembly, packing and despatch areas.
When required, electronic picking systems can be incorporated.
