What controls the speed of pallet gravity racking？

Pallet gravity racking is an efficient storage system that uses the weight of goods to slide from one higher end to the other. Speed control is a key element to ensure the safe flow of goods. What is used to control the speed of that pallet gravity rack? Let's find out below.

When designing pallet gravity racking, the basic speed control is achieved by precisely calculating the inclination Angle, usually 3 to 5 degrees. If the Angle is too large, the speed will be too fast; if it is too small, the goods may come to a standstill. It controls the speed at which the goods slide down through roller dampers.

It is evident that pallet gravity racking can ensure high efficiency while guaranteeing the safety and reliability of the goods transportation process, achieving the goal of first-in, first-out in warehouse management. The single-pallet load-bearing capacity can be designed up to 2 tons, and the total height can be designed up to about 8 meters, which is the height that the forklift can lift. Due to its dense storage locations, large storage capacity and high efficiency, it can rival semi-automatic shuttle vehicle shelves. It is not only widely used in auto parts logistics warehouses but also in cold storage facilities.
