Is the fluent rack​ system an automatic sliding system?

The fluent rack is a common type of storage shelving used in e-commerce, accessory, logistics and other warehouses. For customers who are unfamiliar with or have never used it, they may not be clear about its operation method. For example, there is a customer who asks questions like "Is the fluent rack an automatic sliding type?" Let's explore this.

Yes, the fluent rack is also called the sliding type shelving or the inclined type shelving. It is a storage equipment that uses the self-weight of the goods to automatically slide and realizes efficient storage and retrieval of goods. The inclined track also has certain requirements for the levelness of the ground. It does not require electricity or motors, but its automation level is limited. It needs to be combined with manual or mechanical auxiliary operations.

The fluent rack generally has a single layer capacity of 300 to 1000 kg and is not suitable for heavy materials. Its operation process is that the goods need to be placed on the high end of the shelving by manual or forklift, and then slide to the low end under the action of gravity, making it convenient for picking. Using the fluent rack can achieve dense storage, reduce channel occupation. It reduces the distance of goods handling and eliminates the need to run all over the warehouse, improving the efficiency of storing and retrieving goods. It is especially suitable for batch picking operations.
