To be used lineside for an assembly line operation, this Mobile Flow Rack is custom designed to hold a desired amount of inventory at the point of assembly and to maximize floor space. The rack is built using Creform 28 mm pipe that provides flexibility and reusability for this user. Creform skate wheel conveyors on the unit allow for shallow flow lane angles that are suitable for both plastic returnable totes as well as cardboard. The gravity flow rack assists in first-in, first out (FIFO) inventory management.
There are four supply levels with conveyors located evenly spaced to accommodate many different sized boxes. Intermediate support beam provides for further stability of the rack. Each of the flow rack’s levels can be repositioned or the whole flow rack can be customized with only simple tools. The unit features six casters to allow for easy movement when cleaning or repositioning. Each caster can be locked in place when the need arises.
The rack ideal for picking individual SKUs that make up a manufacturing kit, typically appropriate for assembly applications. The flow rack is also useful for general storage of pull-to-ship parts and point of use presentation rack within an assembly work cell.
