What exactly is Carton Flow Racking?
Carton Flow Racking, also known as Carton Live Storage, is a high-density dynamic storage system where goods are loaded at the rear and picked from the front. This enables a continuous flow of products, using gravity-fed roller beds or wheels to push stock forward as each item is picked.
It's an ideal solution for warehouses, fulfilment centres and distribution hubs with high throughputs. Carton Flow helps reduce picker travel time, increase picking rates, and ensure optimal space utilisation.
This design naturally supports a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) inventory system, where older stock is picked first ensuring nothing gets forgotten or pushed to the back. That's essential for industries where product rotation, expiry dates, and batch traceability really matter.
If you're using lean warehouse principles or a Kanban-style replenishment system, Carton Flow fits right in. Each picking lane becomes a visual signal, when a carton gets low your team will know instantly when it needs to be replenished.
