Pallet Flow Rack
Pallet flow rack from Culver Equipment is the premier solution for dynamic, high-density FIFO warehouse storage. Increase capacity, accelerate throughput, and maintain product rotation with gravity flow racking—engineered for food, beverage, cold storage, and high-turnover operations.
What is Pallet Flow Rack?
Pallet flow racking is a dynamic gravity flow system that provides high-density, first-in, first-out (FIFO) pallet storage. Pallets are loaded at one end and travel on rollers or wheels to the pick face, automatically moving each load forward for efficient picking and replenishment—ideal for perishable, high-rotation, and fast-moving products.
- FIFO Inventory: Ensures first-in, first-out rotation—perfect for expiration-sensitive goods.
- High-Density Storage: Store 2–20+ pallets deep per lane, doubling capacity over selective racking.
- Gravity Driven: Pallets flow from load zone to pick face on angled rollers or wheels—no electricity needed.
- Labor & Equipment Savings: Streamline operations and cut handling costs by up to 75%.
- Customizable: Roller type, lane depth, rack structure, and controls are tailored for your loads.
- Safe & Low Maintenance: Speed controllers and safety accessories protect both product and personnel.
- Industry Versatility: Trusted in food, cold storage, manufacturing, pharma, distribution, retail, and more.

Cold Storage & Freezer
Gravity flow racking is the top choice for refrigerated, frozen, and climate-controlled warehouses.
DetailsManufacturing & Distribution
Improve throughput and organize fast-moving inventory with minimal aisle space.
DetailsPharma, Retail & More
Ideal for pharmaceutical, chemical, retail, e-commerce, electronics, and bottling operations.
DetailsGravity Flow Rails & Rollers
Pallets are loaded onto angled rails with wheels or rollers. Gravity moves pallets to the pick face for easy, efficient order picking—perfect for high-turnover inventory.
Speed Controllers & Brakes
Speed controllers—direct, indirect, or drop-in—control pallet movement and prevent runaway loads. They’re engineered for your pallet weight, system pitch, and operational needs.
Structural or Roll-Formed Rack
Pallet flow systems can be built with structural or roll-formed frames and beams. Structural offers maximum strength for tough environments; roll-formed provides an economical option for standard applications.
Safety Accessories
Keep your rack system safe with column protectors, safety rails, ramp stops, entry guides, and mounting brackets. Proper accessories minimize forklift and pallet damage, ensuring reliable operation.
Food & Beverage
Pallet flow racking is perfect for food processors, beverage distributors, and bottling plants that need efficient FIFO product rotation and rapid replenishment.
Cold Storage & Freezer
Gravity flow racks are engineered for subzero and climate-controlled environments, maximizing storage density and throughput in cooler and freezer warehouses.
Manufacturing & Distribution
Manage fast-paced inventory, improve picking speed, and reduce labor costs for manufacturing and distribution centers of any size.
Pharma, Retail & More
Pallet flow racking supports pharma, chemical, retail, e-commerce, electronics, aerospace, and packaging operations requiring FIFO, high-density, and rapid product turnover.
