Pallet Live Storage
Key benefits
- Keeps stock rotating on a FIFO (First In First Out) production basis.
- Stores a huge amount palletized goods, in a compact space.
- Allows clear separation of variant product into lanes, or levels, or bays.
- Self-organizing stock locations
- Constant pick face regenerates until lane is empty.
- Reduction in forklift movement, forklift wear and tear.
- Increase in labor productivity from reduced travel time.
- Less racking damage as forklift only operates front and back.
- Gravity operated.
Pallet Live Storage
Do you need to keep stock rotation in your warehouse? Then Pallet Live Storage is for you. Utilising the FIFO principle for palletised goods, store your pallets on a gravity fed roller system. Make the pallets do all the hard work when they actually move by themselves on a declined roller system. A uniquely smart and functional pallet storage option for company’s who have time sensitive product that needs to be constantly rotated. If you are interested in keeping your stock rotating give BOS Storage systems a call to discuss how this option could work for you.
What is Pallet Live?
Needing to maintain a constant stock rotation of your pallets? Then Pallet Flow Racking is for you. Pallet flow racking or Pallet live racking, is a FIFO (first in first out) system. Where you feed pallets into the racking system from the back and pick them from the front. This ensures stock rotation since all pallets are fed and can be stored in the order of production.
Gravity Fed Pallet Racking
Furthermore this system wont require any power, it’s a gravity operated system, which also means there is little upkeep or running costs. We will design the system on a declined angle, so the pallets rolls ‘back to front’ downhill. In addition, each lane has speed reduction mechanisms which will limit the risk of the pallet travelling too fast. As well as supply front pallet separators to isolate the front pallet from the remaining pallets behind it.
Bulk Storage
Reduced operations and labour are another key benefit of the pallet flow system. Since you are feeding into the system from the back end (your production end), picking from the front end (despatch end), you have minimal operational time on the forklift. As well as reduced labour of staff. Also, pallets are stored in designated lanes, which means each lane can be dedicated for a different product if need be. Giving the opportunity of picking many SKU’s of the same product, or different SKU’s from the same immediate area. Further reducing your forklift movement, and having all goods in a designated area ready to pick. At the same time it is such an efficient way to set out your warehouse, where storage is incorporated into your production cycle.

Design Features
- ‘3 wheel track’ where each lane has 3 runs of nylon wheels, in a staggered formation. This requires that you use Australian Standard pallets, but is a great option to reduce bounce.
- Down each lane we incorporate ‘speed controllers’ to prevent the pallet from picking up speed and reducing the possibility of damage. This is engineered based off your pallet weight, the temperature in your warehouse and the amount of pallet locations.
- Pallet flow racking can be adjusted to suit many pallet weights, but works best with standard Australian pallets, simply to reduce the amount of variation.
- You can decided the layout and design of the racking system with how many pallets deep, how many pallets wide and how many pallets high. This give the flexibility to adjust the system based off your production and storage needs.
