Overview
Shitong Compact Gravity Racking is engineered for facilities where
space is limited but picking speed is critical. Its modular design
creates dense, easy-to-reach pick faces, making it ideal for
micro-fulfillment and retail replenishment.
How It Works
Operators load cartons from the back; gravity lanes move them
forward automatically to the front picking face. Pickers access
products quickly with minimal travel, reducing cycle times and
improving ergonomics.
Key Features
Compact gravity racks that maximize storage density per square
meter.
Ergonomic tilt trays at the pick face to reduce bending and
reaching.
Quiet phenolic rollers available for noise-sensitive areas.
Compatible with conveyors, totes, or automated pick-to-light
systems.
Customer Value
Speeds up order fulfillment by keeping products within arm’s reach.
Optimizes warehouse footprint without sacrificing throughput.
Reduces labor fatigue and improves picking accuracy.
Applications
E-commerce hubs, retail distribution, assembly lines, and
small-format warehouses.
FAQ:
1. How many parts does carton flow racking have?
Main parts include upright frame, beam, roller track or wheel bed,
separator, roller support rail, and carton stop plate.
Optional parts include frame protector, upright protector, lane
divider, and pick-to-light accessories.
2. How to control the speed of cartons on carton flow racking?
The flow speed depends on the lane incline and roller type. By
adjusting the angle (usually 3–5°) or using brake rollers, the
cartons will flow smoothly without impact.
3. What is the load capacity per carton?
Typically, each lane position can carry 20–50 kg per carton,
depending on the roller system. Per lane capacity can reach 200–400
kg.
4. Will cartons get stuck when they flow down?
No, proper debugging will eliminate this. Correct roller spacing,
lane angle, and carton base quality ensure smooth flow.
5. How long can a carton flow lane be?
Standard lanes are 6–12 cartons deep, but Shitong has manufactured
lanes up to 20 cartons deep. Longer designs can be customized if
required.
6. What are the main characteristics of carton flow racking?
High density storage and picking efficiency
Goods flow automatically by gravity, First In First Out
Continuous replenishment from the rear, convenient picking in the
front
Suitable for fast-moving SKUs with large quantity but small variety
Improves ergonomics and reduces picker walking distance
