<strong>META</strong> MULTILINE ® S Flow & Push-Back Racking<br />
Flow Racking & Push-Back Racking<br />
Whether <strong>META</strong> MULTILINE ® S is used as a flow rack with the FIFO<br />
principle (First In First Out) or as a push-back rack with the LIFO principle<br />
(Last In First Out) the pallets are always ready to go.<br />
A maximum of two service aisles is required, and the storage space<br />
requirement is reduced by 30% compared with similar conventional pallet<br />
racking systems.<br />
The higher turnover rate due to the shorter distances within the<br />
warehouse, the simple way in which stored goods are allocated to their<br />
locations, the clearer overview and compact form of storage make this an<br />
unbeatable system which takes the shortest time to pay for itself.<br />
<strong>META</strong> flow racks are modular in structure. Depending on the goods<br />
stored, they consist of a goods structure with roller tracks for the individual<br />
channels. These are slightly tilted toward the take-out side, so that the<br />
goods are moved by simple gravity without the need for a drive system.<br />
<strong>META</strong> MULTILINE ® S Flow Racking<br />
FIFO principle (First In First Out):<br />
The new goods are loaded on the feed side, from where they flow<br />
automatically to the take-out side where they can be removed.<br />
obsolescence is avoided, as the goods first loaded are also the first to<br />
be taken out<br />
the loading aisles are separated from the removal aisles, ensuring<br />
trouble-free working and less accidents<br />
the removal of superfluous aisles frees up more usable space<br />
time savings through use of own goods transport, shorter travel times<br />
and fewer obstructions<br />
ideal for production series, batch tracing and keeping to shelf-life<br />
specifications<br />
<strong>META</strong> MULTILINE ® S Push-Back Racking<br />
LIFO principle (Last In First Out):<br />
The <strong>META</strong> push-back racking is a variant of the flow racking. It works by<br />
the LIFO principle. The stored goods are loaded and removed on one side<br />
only. When one pallet is removed, the tilt causes the next item to move to<br />
the entry side or exit side.<br />
Goods are stored and removed on the same side, and are immediately<br />
ready to go.<br />
only one stacker truck aisle is required, resulting in the most efficient<br />
utilisation of space<br />
quicker access to goods<br />
time savings through use of own goods transport, shorter travel times<br />
and fewer obstructions<br />
optimal for goods without an expiry date<br />
