Product Description

Gravity Flow Racking System Introduction**
**Gravity Flow Racking**Introducing an exceptional, high-density dynamic storage solution: the Gravity Flow Racking System. Masterfully engineered for seamless FIFO (First-In, First-Out) inventory management, this system harnesses the power of inclined roller tracks. Witness goods glide effortlessly from the loading to the picking end, propelled by gravity itself, significantly curtailing manual handling and enhancing order-picking productivity.
