<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 />
