Carton Flow Rack Manufacturer and Supplier in China
Main product features when purchasing carton flow rack:
- High density storage system
- Working with FIFO
- More flexible dimensions
What is Carton Flow Rack
Carton flow racks are a type of gravity flow racking system that enables high-density storage and efficient handling of goods. Operated through gravity, carton flow racking systems specialize in storing cartons of varying sizes and shapes, facilitating swift loading and unloading of goods. The racking in the carton flow racking is inclined, operating on a FIFO basis, then allows cartons from the back to flow to the front for loading and unloading.
Whether you aim to store lightweight cartons or bulk inventory, carton flow rack pick systems are an excellent choice. It reduces retrieval times and helps prevent issues like inventory obsolescence by ensuring efficient inventory rotation.
Carton Flow Rack Features

Enhances the storage efficiency of the entire warehouse.

Increases the storage capacity of the entire warehouse.

Reduces picking time by loading from the back and picking from the front.

Cut labor costs by half.
Carton Flow Rack Main Advantages
- In the same storage space, the storage density of the carton flow rack is higher, reducing the footprint of goods, increasing warehouse space by 60%, and cutting labor costs by 50%.
- The first-in, first-out inventory management mode greatly improves the storage efficiency of warehouse goods.
- Loading and unloading on separate channels prevent congestion, ensuring quick access to goods.
- High compatibility: Can be integrated with other systems’ picking modules.
- Strong adaptability: Can accommodate cartons and inventory of different sizes and shapes.
- Easy and safe installation, with strong maintainability.
- High durability: The structure of the carton flow rack system is sturdy, using Q235 steel, ensuring a long service life.


Carton Flow Rack Components
The carton flow rack consists of columns, support beams, rollers, and roller tracks. the specific details are as follows:
- Frame: Serving as a crucial component of the carton flow rack, the frame connects two columns, crossbars, and braces. Its maximum width is 120 inches, and the capacity of a 120-inch upright column is approximately 12,000 pounds.
- Support beams: These fundamental components support the carton flow rack and are connected to the frame and columns. The angle steel is high-quality, is only 10mm thick, and is used to connect the front and rear beams to the columns, stabilizing the entire carton flow
- Rollers: One of the most important parts of the carton flow picking system, the carton flow rollers are installed using the D60*2-12 elastic shaft series. They are primarily placed on roller tracks to support trays carrying goods.
- Roller tracks: Constructed from 3mm thick Q235 steel pipes, the carton racks roller tracks connect to the beams and are inclined. Typically with a slope between 3 to 5 degrees, they utilize the principle of gravity to unload goods.
How Carton Flow Rack Systems Work
The carton flow rack system is one type of gravity flow racking system that operates on a first-in, first-out inventory management model. Its roller tracks are inclined to facilitate the flow of goods, utilizing gravity to load items from the higher end at the back and unload them at the lower end in the front. This design ensures that there are no blockages in the loading or unloading zones. As soon as one item is picked, the next one “flows” down, significantly reducing manual labor costs.

Building Carton Flow Rack’s Safe Guidance


The carton flow rack pallets may slide during loading and unloading. To address this safety concern, OKE Storage’s professionals have implemented the following structural designs to ensure carton flow rack safety:
- High wear resistance and low friction coefficient are selected for the rollers, along with excellent impact resistance. They should be sturdy and resistant to breakage, with a deformation deflection under a rated load of less than 1/500.
- The overall height of the carton rack is generally within 6 meters, while the shelf height can be adjusted based on the load-bearing goods, with adjustment increments at integer multiples of 50mm or 75mm.
- It is recommended to install damping rollers or speed controllers above the aisles to prevent goods from sliding too quickly due to gravity. Damping rollers not only protect the goods but also ensure the safety of personnel.
- The angle of roller decline is determined based on the load of the goods and the length of the roller track, typically ranging from 1.2°to 2.5°.
- The diameter of the rollers in the carton flow rack is generally 60mm, with a slope of the roller bed between 3 and 5°. Each roller can bear a weight of 150kg, while the entire carton flow rack structure can carry goods weighing from 150 to 1500kg, making it exceptionally sturdy and durable.
- OKE applies corrosion-resistant coatings and special treatments to the surface of the carton flow rack products. By using a secondary coating process with highly corrosion-resistant coatings, the sealing of the entire coating is improved, ensuring superior corrosion resistance and anti-corrosion capabilities compared to products from other manufacturers.
Carton Flow Rack Design and Analyse


According to the industry standards WB/T 1074-2018 for gravity flow racking and the 《specifications and rated loads of industrial racks》(GB/T 27924-2011), we conducted a comprehensive design analysis of the deformation of beams, the verticality of columns, and the deformation under horizontal loads in the carton flow rack system.
- To measure the deformation of beams, vertical loads should be transmitted through load-bearing beams, with sustained loading for at least 1 hour, followed by measurements at 1.25 times and 1.5 times the rated load.
- The deformation measurement method for carton flow rack column verticality involves using a steel ruler and plumb bob to measure the depth and width of the column bracket. Rated loads sustained loading for at least 1 hour to measure the deformation.
- Measurements of deformation under horizontal load involve loading 1.25 times the rated load on each level of the carton flow rack roller track and applying an additional 1% load at the top of the rack, with sustained loading for at least 1 hour.
- In the complete design process, special attention should be paid to four major principles: ensuring the total depth of the rack design, reasonable slope size, the addition of damping devices, and avoiding excessive rack height. These aspects ensure the safety and reliability of the rack when bearing goods.

The Difference of Static Racks and Dynamic Racks

Typical static rack systems include standard pallet racks, double deep racks, and drive-in racks, while dynamic rack options include gravity racks and carton flow racks.
Static racks usually involve loading and unloading at the same location and within the same aisle, leading to aisle congestion, particularly in narrow aisles, and increased manual labor time.

Dynamic racks allow simultaneous loading and unloading, with one end for loading and the other for unloading, ensuring that both aisles operate independently without congestion. This setup can reduce manual labor costs and better address inventory management issues.
The specific choice of racks depends on factors such as the stored goods and available storage space. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us!
