Gravity Rack

Gravity racking uses upright frames, beams, base anchors, sloped roller tracks and guides. Pallets travel under their own weight from the loading end to the retrieval end.

Rack advantages

• First-in, first-out operation, with lane depth and rack levels configured to suit the goods.
• Pallet movement within the lanes requires no powered drive and runs with low noise.
• Compact lanes remove redundant aisles and can increase capacity by at least 30% compared with conventional pallet racks in the stated comparison.
• Separate loading and retrieval faces reduce interference and provide direct access to goods at the dispatch end.
• An empty-pallet return station can improve pallet turnover.

Applications

Large batches of similar goods with few varieties.
