Kingway's ergonomic and efficient gravity flow rack is designed and manufactured to the most rigorous engineering standards using the strongest and most rigid structural components. Engineered to withstand heavy use and abuse, components are made of ASTM high-strength, low-alloy, certified structural steel. Their modular design, numbered scales, and precision slots allow rapid assembly and rearrangement without tools or measuring. This system is not for slow moving merchandise. Automated systems work well if your storing fast moving goods in full case quantity. However these automated systems are very expensive to purchase and maintain and occasionally break down. Relatively low cost gravity flow rack systems offer many of the best features of both these methods. In most instances, gravity flow is the most cost effective order selection system. Instead of losing wasted steps with a static shelving system have your pickers spend about 85% of their time doing productive work. Offering application analysis, design and engineering, manufacturing, support and value.
The carton flow rack concept uses inclined shelves equipped with roll track to move cartons by gravity from the restocking to the picking side of the system.  This creates a first in first out pick system. Cartons can also be loaded from the front & pushed back and picked from the front creating a last in last out pick system. Picking and restocking are far more accurate and efficient - in fact, one person can do the work of three or four. Additional savings are realized by the effective use of floor space - gravity flow system requires only half of the floor space by static shelving to handle the SKU's. The Kingway gravity flow picking system offers the best ROI with a substantial cost savings over automated systems, a more efficient approach compared to static shelving, a virtually maintenance free system, and the ability to rotate merchandise on a first-in, first-out basis.
Carton flow upright frame and roller bed detail - Uprights have numbered scales and high quality components that allow roller beds to easily clip in place.
Shelf Hanger Clips - Underside of roller bed shows shelf fits into a single slot in the vertical frame. The shelf frame is then placed securely on the clip.
Roller Track - Roll track are plastic wheels embedded in a u-shaped metal rail that permits the movement of heavy cases at the lowest slope angle to maximize space utilization. Roller tracks and guides are independently mounted, and snap into retainer tabs easily. The roller tracks operate in any warehouse environment, including coolers and freezers, and require no lubrication.
Square front vertical frames with straight shelves. Used when picking full cases, Examples canned goods, wine.
10' high Layback frame with straight shelves. Used when picking from open cases, when cases very in size. Examples health and beauty aids.
Here's what could be in a Kingway carton flow system: Gravity flow shelves, static shelves, pallet flow shelves, overhead pallet storage rack.
