Picking shelving

with shelvesFIFOgravity

Overview
Mobilfer lightweight gravity racks use inclined roller conveyors to allow the automatic advancement of packages towards the picking front. They are designed for assembly lines, intensive manual picking activities and FIFO management of boxes, crates and plastic containers. By reducing operator movements, they help improve productivity and the organization of picking areas. Aisles can be configured in length, width and slope depending on the weight, size and characteristics of the packaging.

Benefits and features

• Automatic advancement of packages towards the picking area via inclined roller conveyors
• FIFO (First In, First Out) management of boxes and containers without the need for electrical power
• Reduction of operator movements in picking areas, improving productivity and work organization
• Configurable lanes based on the size, weight and characteristics of the packages (length, width and slope)

Applications

• Logistics warehouses and high-rotation stock management
• E-commerce and fashion warehouses for management of boxes, parcels and containers with FIFO lanes
• Industrial assembly lines to supply workstations with boxes of components and small parts
• Kanban systems and lean manufacturing for organization of intermediate stocks and visual control of available quantities

Frequently Asked Questions (summary)

• Working principle: Lightweight gravity racking uses inclined roller conveyors so packages move from the loading area to the picking area by gravity, enabling FIFO flow without electrical drives.
• What type of packaging can it handle? Suitable for boxes, plastic crates and rigid containers with regular bottoms that are compatible with roller conveyor handling; lane dimensions are defined according to weight, size and packaging type.
• Is it suitable for assembly lines and Kanban? Yes. The system facilitates orderly replenishment of components and visual inventory control, integrating with Kanban and Lean Manufacturing processes.
