It is a "last in, first out" system that can store up to 10 pallets in depth without any slope or engine.

 

How does it works ?

Flow Rail works with a system of chains that slide on aluminum rails. The first pallet is loaded on the rails and then the second pallet pushes against the first which turns the chains. The following pallets are loaded in the same way. When the pallets are unloaded, the chains slide in the opposite direction. When the front pallet comes out of the system, the following ones automatically advance.

 

 

The Drive-In system is based on the principle of storage by accumulation, which allows the maximum use of available space in terms of area and height. The drive-in rack is designed for the storage of homogeneous products. It hosts a large number of pallets for each aisle.

 

 

4 reasons to choose the choose the Flow Rail

These two systems are very different from each other. But then, why choose the Flow Rail rather than the Drive-In?

 

#1: PRODUCTIVITY

• Eliminates unnecessary trips of carts in the aisles.
• Faster pace of work.
• Storage capacity increased by 25%.

 

#2 : FLEXIBILITY OF INVENTORY

• Each location can have different products, which keeps more SKUs in stock and improves stock turnover.
• Additional storage due to the possibility of narrow aisles as the truck no longer has to enter.

 

#3 : SAFETY

• Reduction of rack damage that leads to collapse.
• Reduction of repair / certification costs.
• Reduction of stress for operators.
• Reduction of hazard.

 

#4 : FORKLIFT

• Reduction of wear because less unnecessary trips in the aisles.
• Possibility of using various forklifts as they no longer have to enter the shelving.
