Pallet Flow Rack in Chicago, IL
Pallet flow racking provides high-density storage while keeping inventory moving in first-in, first-out (FIFO) order. It’s an efficient solution for operations that need to increase storage capacity while maintaining consistent product flow.
Pallets are loaded from one side of the rack and move by gravity along inclined rollers or wheels toward the pick face on the opposite side. As a pallet is removed, the next pallet moves forward, keeping inventory organized and ready for picking.
Whether you’re planning a new system or upgrading an existing facility, our solutions for pallet flow racking in Chicago, IL, are built around your inventory, available space, and operational requirements.

When Pallet Flow Racking Makes Sense
Pallet flow is especially well suited for high-volume operations where storage density and inventory rotation are priorities.
✓ High-volume inventory
✓ FIFO stock rotation
✓ Fast-moving products
✓ Multiple pallets per SKU
✓ Limited warehouse space
✓ Operations looking to reduce aisle requirements
When these factors are priorities, pallet flow can help you store more inventory in less space while keeping products moving efficiently.
Benefits of Pallet Flow Racking
Increases Storage Density
Store pallets 20-plus positions deep while reducing the number of aisles required, allowing you to make better use of available warehouse space.
Improves Inventory Rotation
FIFO product flow automatically moves older inventory toward the pick face, making pallet flow well suited for products where stock rotation matters.
Reduces Pallet Travel
Gravity moves pallets from the loading side to the picking side of the rack, reducing the distance forklifts need to travel to retrieve inventory.
Separates Loading & Picking
Loading and picking can take place from opposite sides of the rack, helping reduce traffic congestion and improve material flow.
Supports High Throughput Operations
As pallets are removed, the next load automatically advances to the pick face, keeping inventory readily available for fast-moving operations.
Adapts to Your Inventory
Pallet flow systems can be designed around different pallet sizes, weights, lane depths and throughput requirements.
Pallet Flow Rack Design Considerations
Pallet flow systems need to be designed around the products and pallets moving through them. Lane depth, pallet weight, load dimensions, and flow rate can all affect system design and performance.
✓ Pallet size & weight
✓ Number of pallets per SKU
✓ Required lane depth
✓ Inventory turnover
✓ Loading & picking equipment
✓ Available space & layout
We’ll help you determine the right pallet flow design based on what you store, how your inventory moves, and available space.
