Flow Rails
Available23 products
Flow rails each have a single channel of skate wheels, rollers, or ball transfers that allow cartons, totes, pallets, and other flat-bottomed items to glide along the rail in conveying applications. They are often mounted to pallet racks or storage lanes to allow gravity to move products in the back forward to the front once the items in front are used. They reduce the effort it takes to move these items on the rack or lane, which helps boost efficiency in inventory and order-picking tasks. Multiple flow rails can be installed side by side to create a flow rack, and they can also be mounted to surfaces, floors, or walls for custom conveying applications. Flow rails are commonly used to support storage and inventory initiatives such as first-in, first-out (FIFO) and can serve as floor-mounted staging areas for manufacturing or logistical processes.
Light-Duty General Purpose Skate Wheel Flow Rails
General purpose skate wheel flow rails each have a channel of skate wheels that allow items to glide along the rail in conveying applications. The rails may have an inline or staggered wheel alignment. Rails with an inline wheel alignment have horizontally aligned rows of wheels and are suitable for conveying loads with flat, evenly shaped bottoms, such as cartons. Rails with a staggered wheel alignment have offset rows of wheels that provide support for loads with flat, irregularly shaped bottoms, such as pallets.

Light-Duty Multi-Directional Ball Transfer Flow Rails
Multi-directional ball transfer flow rails each have one channel of ball transfers that allow conveyed items to move in all directions as they glide along the rail in conveying tasks. They are commonly installed at transfer points in a conveyor system where items will need to move both forward and back and side to side on the rail.

Heavy-Duty Roller Flow Rails
Heavy-duty roller flow rails each have a single channel of rollers and are commonly installed on flow racks. The rollers allow items to glide along the rail in conveying applications. Roller flow rails have a higher weight capacity than skate wheel or ball transfer flow rails and can convey heavier loads.

Light-Duty Controlled-Tracking Flanged Skate Wheel Flow Rails
Controlled-tracking flanged skate wheel flow rails each have a single channel of skate wheels. The wheels have a flanged edge that keeps conveyed items on the desired path as they glide along the rail in conveying applications. The rails are available with a right-hand or left-hand flange.
