Converts static racking into carton flow
June 1st 2010

Adapta-Flow is a carton live storage innovation, from BITO Storage Systems which can be retrofitted to an existing static racking structure to convert it into carton flow racking by using the racking's beams. Using Adapta-Flow companies order picking from pallets can quickly start to order pick from live storage levels.

Adapta-Flow is compatible with all types of pallet racking and can be used with either single or double deep systems to provide First-In, First Out (FIFO) storage.

Ready-mounted modules drop onto the beams of the existing racking. This means that flow lanes on each level can be configured quickly and easily to suit the needs of the application and they can be easily modified at any time to adapt to changing business needs: the modules can even be easily removed to return the racking to its original state.

This is particularly useful for seasonal trends such as for companies servicing the Christmas market.

The Adapta-Flow racks turn a static pallet racking system into one that offers reduced pick travel routes and times through compact and clear presentation of stock items. The flow racks enhance control of sell-by dates and production batches while the dense storage characteristics of the flow lanes allow more product lines to be stored at the pick face.
