Key features of a dynamic rack

A high-performance gravity logistics solution, designed for picking productivity and storage densification.

  • Gravity FIFO or LIFO storage depending on product type

  • Storage densification up to 60% (aisles eliminated)

  • Operator movement reduced by 40 to 70%

  • Capacity up to 1,500 kg per pallet for reinforced models

  • Roller rails, speed regulators and end stops built in

  • Suited to pallet, box and small-part (picking) storage

What types of dynamic racks exist?

Depending on your stock type and rotation, several configurations exist:

  • Dynamic carton shelving

    Equipped with roller rails allowing rear supply and front picking, ideal for accelerating order preparation in your warehouse.

  • Light dynamic shelving

    Feature inclined trays suited to small parts and ease picking while preventing MSDs in operators.

  • Motorized dynamic systems

    Integrate drive mechanisms to automatically move heavier loads or over long distances without relying solely on gravity.

  • Push-back racking

    Operate on the LIFO (last in, first out) principle with loading and unloading from the same face, optimizing space in low-rotation zones.

Criteria for choosing your dynamic rack

4 dimensions to balance to make the right choice.

Type of stock rotation

Stock management is a determining factor. For FIFO rotation (First In, First Out), pallet or carton dynamic shelving guarantees the oldest products are picked first, limiting stock aging. For LIFO management (Last In, First Out), push-back systems offer a compact solution ideal for non-perishables or low-rotation zones, maximizing storage capacity.

Required storage density

If space optimization is your priority, our pallet systems increase your storage capacity by up to 40% compared to conventional shelving by eliminating intermediate aisles. For picking zones, our light dynamic solutions concentrate references and reduce the needed surface by up to 30%.

Load and dimensions

The load to support is an essential criterion. Our industrial dynamic shelving is sized for load units up to 1,500 kg per pallet, with reinforced versions for specific applications. For boxes and small parts, our light systems are custom-calculated with aisle widths suited to your containers.

Picking frequency

For high-picking zones, our dynamic carton solutions with roller rails reduce order preparation time by up to 70% thanks to improved ergonomics and reduced movement. In high-cadence environments, pick-to-light or voice guidance systems can be added to further accelerate operations and reduce errors.

Essential components of a dynamic rack

Every MaKitLean rack integrates components sized for performance, safety and durability:

  • Roller rails

    Ensure smooth load gliding with minimal resistance, available in different widths depending on containers and shelving types.

  • Speed regulators

    Control the descent of heavy pallets to avoid dangerous acceleration and preserve goods integrity in the pallet rack.

  • Lane dividers

    Efficiently organize space and keep products aligned during their gravity movement in push-back shelving.

  • End stops

    Stop loads in ideal picking position and safely absorb kinetic energy.

  • Entry guides

    Ease pallet loading by forklift drivers, reduce system damage risks and accelerate logistics operations.

Frequently asked questions

  • What's the difference between FIFO dynamic shelving and LIFO push-back?

    +
    FIFO (First In, First Out) dynamic shelving allows loading from the rear and unloading from the front, guaranteeing the first product in is the first out. This configuration is ideal for perishable or dated products. Conversely, LIFO (Last In, First Out) push-back allows loading and unloading from the same face: the last product in is the first out. This solution is optimal for non-perishables and allows even greater storage densification.

  • What are the benefits of dynamic shelving vs classic shelving?

    +
    Dynamic shelving offers several significant benefits: storage densification up to 60% by eliminating aisles, automatic stock rotation management (FIFO or LIFO), operator movement reduced by 40 to 70%, decreased risk of maneuver-related accidents, and accelerated picking operations. These systems considerably improve productivity while optimizing available warehouse space.

  • How do you determine the ideal slope for a gravity storage system?

    +
    The ideal slope depends on several factors: weight and dimensions of load units, container type (pallet, box, bin), rail coating nature (steel, PVC), and environmental conditions. For palletized loads, a 3 to 4% slope is generally recommended. For boxes and light containers, a 4 to 8% incline ensures optimal movement. Our engineers systematically conduct a study to determine the exact slope suited to your application.
