Small to Large Inventory Storage Solutions
Carton flow and pallet flow are the two main types of gravity flow racking systems. Both systems are popular in warehouses today and often work together in concentrated pick areas. However, each has an important niche and focus.
- Carton flow rack is ideal for case, tote, and each item storage. Carton flow, or case flow as it is sometimes called, maximizes pick locations into a consolidated area, decreasing travel time and improving both put and pick efficiency.
- Pallet flow rack is designed for palletized or crated inventory storage. Pallet flow can be floor-mounted or within racking for multi-level, high-density storage. Floor mounted pallet flow is ideal for case picking from pallets for high-volume, fast turn SKUs and also for highly efficient dock staging. Pallet flow is most often configured for 2-10 pallets deep.
Both systems offer the same benefits but for differently-sized inventory. With WOI full-service support, you receive dedicated, streamlined access to our team from system design through installation. Our seamless approach delivers a simplified, cost-effective process. Call our team today for more information about our guaranteed Total Satisfaction Experience.

Gravity Flow Rack Enjoys Universal Industry Support
Gravity flow systems are typically designed with separate load and pick aisles supporting First-In/First-Out (FIFO) inventory rotation. The separate aisles minimize congestion in the pick aisle and keep the product flowing down the lanes eliminating costly wait time.
Gravity flow racking can be customized and configured to meet all product dimensions making it an ideal solution for many types of businesses, including:
- Food and Beverage
- Automotive (large & small parts storage)
- Lumber and Construction Materials
- Retail and Wholesale
- Cold Storage
With each SKU stored in a separate lane, it is faster for workers to find and pick the right SKU improving both pick speed and accuracy. The gravity flow design guarantees an automatically replenished pick face every time too.
Configuring your carton flow rack or pallet flow racking system takes an expert approach. Depending on your inventory dimensions, the pallet, crate or box style, load weights, and SKU volume, WOI team of system designers will configure your system(s) to satisfy your storage and processing goals.
