HEGERLS Carton Flow Racking System is an efficient gravity-based storage solution designed for carton, tote, and small-item picking operations.
Also known as Gravity Flow Rack or FIFO Flow Rack, the system uses inclined roller tracks to move goods automatically from the loading side to the picking side through gravity, enabling First-In-First-Out (FIFO) inventory management.
With high-density storage, improved picking efficiency, and easy integration with electronic labeling systems, HEGERLS Carton Flow Racking is widely used in e-commerce fulfillment centers, distribution warehouses, manufacturing lines, and spare parts storage areas.
HEGERLS Carton Flow Racking System consists of rack frames, beams, roller tracks, support rails, and safety accessories.
The roller tracks are directly connected between front and rear beams with intermediate supports, creating stable inclined storage lanes for cartons and totes.
The inclination angle is customized according to product size, weight, carton material, and rack depth.
Main Components:
Upright Frames
Horizontal Beams
Roller Tracks
Flow Rails
Support Brackets
Guide Dividers
Brake Rollers
End Stops
Safety Protection Components
Carton Flow Racking enables goods to enter from one side and be picked from the opposite side.
The gravity-driven movement creates a natural First-In-First-Out (FIFO) workflow, making it ideal for products with inventory rotation requirements.
By separating replenishment and picking operations, operators can continuously replenish products from the loading side while picking from the front.
This reduces walking distance and improves order fulfillment efficiency.
Compared with traditional shelving systems, carton flow racks reduce unnecessary aisle space by organizing products into compact flow lanes.
The design maximizes warehouse storage density while maintaining convenient picking access.
Products move automatically through:
Inclined roller tracks
Gravity force
Controlled sliding speed
No additional power system is required, reducing operating costs and maintenance requirements.
HEGERLS Carton Flow Racking can be combined with:
Electronic shelf labels
Pick-to-light systems
Warehouse Management Systems (WMS)
Supporting accurate and efficient warehouse operations.
The system can be customized according to:
Carton dimensions
Product weight
Picking frequency
Storage depth
Warehouse layout
Providing optimized solutions for different applications.

Products are placed onto the rear loading side of the flow rack.
Due to the inclined roller tracks, cartons automatically move forward using gravity.
Operators pick products from the front picking side while new inventory is replenished from the rear.
The separated loading and picking channels allow continuous inventory replenishment and faster order processing.
Carton Flow Rack
Designed for cartons and lightweight goods, commonly used in picking areas and distribution centers.
Tote Flow Rack
Optimized for plastic containers and reusable totes in automated logistics operations.
Pallet Flow Racking
Heavy-duty gravity flow solution designed for pallet storage and FIFO inventory management.
Pick Module System
Integrated multi-level picking solution combining carton flow racks, shelving, and workstations.
Carton Flow Racking is a gravity-based storage system that uses inclined roller tracks to automatically move cartons or totes from the loading side to the picking side.
Products are loaded from the rear and automatically move forward through gravity, allowing older inventory to be picked first.
Carton flow racks are suitable for cartons, plastic totes, small parts, components, and fast-moving inventory.
Yes. By separating replenishment and picking operations, carton flow racks reduce walking distance and improve order picking efficiency.
Yes. HEGERLS carton flow solutions can integrate with WMS, electronic labels, pick-to-light systems, and other warehouse technologies
