Executive Summary of the Palletflo Gravity Flow Conveyor

• Palletflo is a gravity conveyor or live storage system
• Most pallet flow systems use hard plastic wheels and brakes that constantly need adjusting
• Palletflo uses energy absorbing tires and never needs readjusting
• Each Palletflo wheel uses hysteresis to control the load as it flows down the lane
• Palletflo requires no maintenance, no adjustments, no power, and no control system
• No maintenance saves you time and money
• Mixed loads can use the same lane without any adjustment
• First-in, First-out designs save 60% warehouse space over standard racks
• FIFO racks also use less people and equipment for loading and unloading
• Pallet flow racks work in lanes as long as 120 feet
• The Palletflo system works with most standard pallets

• The blue, orange and black urethane tires of the Palletflo wheels are designed to dissipate kinetic energy
• Blue wheels are designed for cool room storage
• Orange wheels are for use in a warehouse
• Black wheels are designed for freezer room storage
• Yellow wheels are used in push back racks, push-line systems and pallet entry rails
• Steel wheels are used for pallet loading and unloading

• Three types of rails are: entry, intermediate, and discharge
• Entry rails use steel or yellow wheels in the first 48 inches
• Intermediate rails use all blue, orange or black wheels
• Discharge rails are similar to intermediate rails, but have a pallet stop at the end

• Rails are available in three standard lengths: 8, 10, and 12 feet
• Rails can be custom made to any length you need
• The rails are made using standard 12 gage or optional 10 gage steel
• Standard rails are powder coated blue, or optional galvanized finish
• There are two rail configurations: single row of wheels and double row of wheels
• Wheel spacing is calculated from total board width of the pallet divided by the maximum load weight in pounds
• Light loads need only 2 rails, use 3 rails for intermediate, and 4 rails for heavy loads
• We can help determine the best rail configuration for you
• We will also test your pallets on our test system at no cost

• Rail Stops
• Pallet entry guides
• Pallet guide rails
• Load isolators
