What is Pallet Live Racking (FIFO)?
Pallet live racking systems work on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) racking system principle and are specially designed to work within a pallet racking structure.
Each pallet travels down a specially designed lane, being controlled by a series of inbuilt brake rollers which keep the travelling speed at a constant.
When the pallet reaches the picking face, a load separator and load face control unit brings the pallet to a halt so the goods can be retrieved.
Why Choose Pallet Live Racking Systems?
Pallet Live Racking—also known as live Pallet Racking or Pallet Flow Racking—is a gravity-fed, high-density storage solution designed for First-In, First-Out (FIFO) stock rotation. Perfect for perishable goods or time-sensitive inventory, this system ensures that the oldest stock is always picked first, improving inventory control and reducing waste.
Each pallet moves automatically along sloped roller tracks toward the picking face, eliminating the need for forklifts to enter racking lanes. This means faster operations, reduced labour, and fewer safety risks—all while boosting your overall productivity.
Key Features of Pallet Live Racking (FIFO)
Pallet Live Racking is engineered for efficiency, safety, and high-volume storage. Here’s what makes it a game-changer for your warehouse operations:
- FIFO System (First-In, First-Out): Ideal for perishable goods or time-sensitive stock where inventory rotation is critical.
- Gravity-Fed Roll Tracks: Pallets move forward automatically on sloped roller lanes using gravity—no need for forklifts to enter the racking.
- Brake Rollers: Inbuilt brake rollers control the speed of pallets as they travel down the lane, ensuring smooth and safe movement.
- Load Separators: Stops the next pallet from moving forward during picking, improving safety and allowing easy retrieval of goods.
- Compatible with Standard Forklifts: No need for special equipment—standard forklifts can be used for loading and unloading.
- Installed Within Standard Racking Structures:
Can be built into traditional pallet racking frames for a clean, efficient setup.
