Flow Rack / Push-Back Rack Trolley
Push-back and flow racks with our pallet roller conveyors enable optimum space utilisation by means of dynamic block storage. This also allows convenient monitoring of your inventories.
- Highly suitable for fast-moving items due to extremely efficient order picking
- Push-back rack: Last In – First Out
- Flow rack: First In – First Out, which is, for example, required for batches, expiry date and product series
- Our OMEGA pallet racks are optimally coordinated with the flow and push-back racks.
- Also available for outdoor applications.
- Due to their optimum utilisation of space, flow racks are frequently used in cold storage and freezing facilities.

The space utilisation is similar to that of a block warehouse.
The smooth running support rollers of the roller conveyors from GALLER guarantee you trouble-free processes and a high degree of operational safety. Pallets weighing between 200 and 1,200 kg can run mixed in the same channel. If you use special pallets: We adjust our systems to them and test the smooth function in our GALLER test centre.
- Centrifugal brakes provide optimum regulation of the running characteristics of all pallet types and loads.
- The spring-loaded brake bearing guarantees optimum and constant braking performance.
- Every pallet is sure to reach the end stop thanks to the “dynamic pre-stopper”.
- Mechanical and pneumatic separators enable the pallets to be removed without dynamic pressure.
- The particularly stable design prevents damage from forklift tines.
- All components are suitable for low temperatures: brakes, ball bearings, rollers, gearboxes.
- The triple-divided floor mounted unloading section allows removal using a hand pallet truck.
- We also provide you with guaranteed operationally safe solutions for pallet cages, metal pallets, plastic pallets, half pallets and special pallets.
Functional sequence
The basic principle of both systems is a compact rack block comprising channels that are side-by-side and above one another. The channels are equipped with support rollers that have a gradient of 4% so that the goods run through the channels automatically via gravity. Flow racks are loaded from one side and unloaded from the other side (First In – First Out). In the case of push-back racks, loading and unloading are carried out from the same side (Last In – First Out).
Flow and push-back racks are based on the OMEGA pallet rack system

Thanks to the load-bearing capacities of the Omega rack system, three roller conveyors can be implemented here side by side.

Due to space utilisation of approximately 80%, the costs per cubic meter can be reduced in the low temperature warehouse.
