If your business requires a rack system that can manage the constant turnover of inventory, a pallet flow racking system is highly recommended. If you’re interested in a pallet flow rack system (also commonly known as a gravity flow pallet rack system), get in touch with BHD Storage Solutions. We offer quality pallet flow racking in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney, and can also supply businesses in other parts of Australia with a pallet flow rack system. We have an extensive selection of gravity flow pallet racking systems and parts available in different heights, widths and depths to suit the layout of any warehouse.
A pallet flow racking system is a FIFO (first in, first out) type of pallet rack system that comes with roll poly tracks placed on incrementally lowered beams. Pallets move from the on-load end at the back of the system to the off-load end at the front of the system. In other words, the first pallet that’s loaded at the back of any lane of the system will also be the first pallet to be unloaded at the front once it arrives there.
The gravity flow pallet racking systems we offer are made out of galvanised steel, making them suitable for withstanding the rough conditions of warehouses. Our flow through pallet racking systems can withstand bumps, collisions and light damage caused by forklifts, helping to improve the safety of your employees as well as keeping stock protected.
A flow through pallet racking system doesn’t come with aisles; pallets are instead loaded from one end of the system and unloaded at the other end. This makes it possible to have more floor space to store pallets in without taking up space in aisles or hindering product rotation in any way.
Gravity flow pallet racking systems are highly recommended if the inventory that’s being moved around has a short shelf life. All inventory on pallets will be automatically sent to the front end of the system to ensure that the inventory is rotated in time before it can no longer be used.
As pallets going through a gravity flow pallet rack system are rotated automatically, there’s significantly less need for warehouse workers to rearrange the inventory loads. Workers also won’t need to move around the warehouse as much to pick or load inventory, thereby making them work more efficiently.
It’s safe to use standard forklifts to load and unload pallets from a pallet flow racking system. This makes it unnecessary to purchase new compatible forklifts to use with a pallet flow rack system, saving time and money.

A pallet flow racking system improves storage efficiency, maximises floor space, and ensures FIFO stock management. It reduces forklift travel time and increases picking speed, making it ideal for high-turnover products and perishable goods.
Gravity flow pallet racking systems are perfect for pallets of similar size and weight, including packaged goods, beverages, food products, and other high-volume inventory. They are not ideal for irregularly sized or extremely heavy pallets unless customised.
Flow through pallet racking and gravity flow pallet racking systems are designed with safety in mind. They feature controlled rollers and braking mechanisms to prevent pallets from moving too quickly, ensuring safe operation for staff and inventory.
Yes, gravity flow pallet racking can be designed for cold rooms or freezers. Special coatings, materials, and roller systems ensure pallets move smoothly even at low temperatures, making them ideal for frozen foods or pharmaceuticals.
Most pallet flow racking systems include safety stops and easy-access points to remove or adjust stuck pallets. Regular inspection and proper pallet sizing prevent jams, ensuring smooth, continuous operation.
