Gravity flow racks on heavy-duty caster bases — move the entire loaded rack to any line-side position, lock it in seconds, and maintain FIFO flow without unloading a single part. Engineered for lean production floors where layouts change.
Rolling flow racks bring the full performance of fixed gravity flow lanes to a repositionable platform — no forklifts, no disassembly, no lost production time during layout changes.
Heavy-duty 125mm or 150mm swivel casters carry the full loaded rack weight while the gravity lanes maintain proper pitch — FIFO material flow is uninterrupted during and after repositioning.
Foot-operated brake casters lock the rack in position instantly. Optional floor-mount docking brackets provide a positive click-lock for high-force loading operations at fixed stations.
Lane inclination is set on the T-slot frame by adjusting the front leg height — dial in the exact slope needed for your container weight and roller type without cutting or drilling any components.
Kanban card holders, label holders, dividers, and andon signal mounts all clip into the T-slot extrusion — the rack ships fully configured for visual management from day one.
Low-resistance polyurethane casters and an ergonomic push bar allow one operator to reposition a fully loaded rack on standard sealed concrete or epoxy plant floors.
Lane width and shelf height adjust with a single hex key. The same frame that runs 600mm-wide bins today reconfigures to run 300mm totes tomorrow without any new hardware.

Rolling flow racks are used wherever production layouts change, production schedules rotate, or line-side material needs to move with the work.
Position racks flush to assembly benches and reposition between shifts for product changeover without touching parts.
Roll different part configurations to each station as production models switch throughout the shift.
Reposition pick-face racks to match order profile changes without moving shelving or reprogramming WMS slotting.
Redeploy racks to seasonal or temporary production areas without capital investment in new fixed racking.
Standard rolling flow racks use 125mm or 150mm diameter swivel casters with two locking brakes. Caster capacity is selected to support the fully loaded rack weight with a minimum 2:1 safety factor. Polyurethane wheels are standard for sealed concrete or epoxy floors; cast-iron or rubber-tread casters are specified for rough concrete.
Lane count depends on frame width and lane width. A standard 1200mm-wide rolling frame typically holds two to four lanes of cartons or three to six lanes of smaller totes. Modular Solutions calculates the lane layout from your container footprint and presents a tier-by-tier lane plan before manufacture.
Yes. Anodized aluminum extrusion with stainless steel hardware is available for outdoor or unheated warehouse environments. Casters with sealed bearings are specified for exposure to moisture, cleaning chemicals, or temperature cycling.
Standard rolling flow rack configurations typically ship in three to five weeks from order. Custom frame widths, special caster types, or integrated accessories such as kanban card holders or andon lights add one to two weeks to the schedule. Modular Solutions confirms lead time at the time of quotation.
Two diagonally opposite casters include foot-operated locking brakes. For high-force loading operations such as robot palletizing or powered conveyor infeed, four-caster locking configurations or a floor-mounted docking bracket can be specified. Docking brackets allow the rack to click positively into a fixed floor position with a single foot action.
