Bin Warehouse Storage Systems

Carton flow racks accommodate a wide range of items including standard cartons, plastic bins, totes, and odd-shaped merchandise. They are especially effective for date-coded or lot-controlled inventory such as food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, as well as fast-moving consumer goods in high-volume pick-pack-ship operations.

Carton flow racks store smaller items in approximately half the space required by static shelving or selective rack. By utilizing depth rather than aisle width, these systems consolidate pick faces and increase storage density significantly, allowing facilities to store more SKUs within the same footprint without sacrificing picking speed or accessibility.

FIFO stands for First-In, First-Out. In carton flow rack systems, products loaded at the back of a lane automatically advance to the front as picks are made. This ensures the oldest inventory is always picked first — a critical requirement for date-coded products, lot-controlled materials, and time-sensitive inventory in food, pharma, and beverage applications.
