Pallet Track — Gravity Flow for Pallets
Move pallets with ease using Pallet Track from UNEX. These tracks work with pallet racks to provide a gravity flow solution for pallets—reducing labor costs and increasing storage efficiency.
Pallet Track is configured to your pallet type, rack, and flow depth—not sold off the shelf.
Pallet Track Features
Pallet Track puts gravity to work for your pallets—loading and picking flow without sending a forklift into the rack.
- Attaches to pallet racks or the floor
- Allows FIFO storage
- Reduces forklift use and labor costs
- Spring-loaded rear stop prevents pallets from falling off the rack when pushed back accidentally
- Single or double-deep pallet configurations available
- Increases storage density
- Eco-friendly—no energy consumption
- Available in custom sizes to the half-inch, backed by a 2-year warranty
Wheel or Roller? Choosing Your Pallet Track
Pallet Track is available with wheel and roller tracks. The right choice depends on your pallet weight, consistency, and how often loads change.
- Roller track: stronger on capacity and stability—best for heavier, consistent pallets
- Wheel track: stronger on flexibility and versatility—adapts to varied pallet types and patterns
Configurations
Pallet Track can be expertly configured to fit your specific needs. Here are the two most popular styles.
- Pallet Handling: converts static pallet positions to dynamic storage positions. Ideal for fast-moving SKUs that are picked straight from the pallet.
- Pallet Flow Rack: integrates with existing pallet rack and features a ramp stop to keep stored pallets from sliding out of the rack.
Tech Specs
Choose roller or wheel rail Pallet Track sized to your pallets and rack. Final capacities are confirmed during configuration.
- Roller Pallet Track: full-width 1.9" diameter rollers mounted in a pair of 3.5" high by 1.25" leg, 12-ga. galvanized steel channels. Lengths 24" to 144" in ½" increments.
- Wheel Rail Pallet Track: inline or staggered 1.9" diameter wheels mounted in a pair of 2.5" high by 1" leg, 12-ga. galvanized steel channels. Lengths 24" to 144" in ½" increments.
Accessories
Add accessories to mount, support, and control pallet flow.
- Rail Support Mount: for floor-mounted applications.
- Anti Backup: for wheel rail track.
Real-World Example
Maletis Beverage, a thriving beer distributor in Portland, Oregon, manages hundreds of mini-kegs across 400+ beer types and thousands of added SKUs. A customized UNEX Span-Track system got kegs off the ground and gave them an efficient, space-saving way to store and move product without growing the building.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pallet Track
Shelving.com helps warehouse and distribution teams compare wheel and roller pallet flow, plan single or double-deep lanes, and gather the details needed before requesting a quote.
What is Pallet Track?
+
Pallet Track is a gravity flow system for pallets that mounts to pallet racks or the floor. It uses wheels or rollers so pallets flow forward by gravity, reducing forklift use and labor while increasing storage density.
Is Pallet Track FIFO or LIFO?
+
Pallet Track allows FIFO (first-in, first-out) storage—loads are typically loaded on one side and picked from the other, so the oldest pallet is always at the pick face.
What's the difference between wheel and roller Pallet Track?
+
Roller track is stronger on capacity and stability, making it the better choice for heavier, consistent pallets. Wheel track is more flexible and versatile, adapting to varied pallet types and patterns. We help you match the track to your loads.
Can Pallet Track be added to my existing pallet rack?
+
Yes. The Pallet Flow Rack configuration is designed to integrate with existing pallet rack and includes a ramp stop to keep pallets from sliding out. Pallet Track can also be floor-mounted with a rail support mount.
How deep can Pallet Track lanes be?
+
Pallet Track is available in single or double-deep configurations, with track lengths from 24" to 144" in ½" increments and custom sizes to the half-inch.
How do I get a quote for Pallet Track?
+
Share your pallet dimensions and weight, rack details, desired flow depth, and whether you need wheel or roller track. We'll recommend the right configuration and accessories, then quote the system.
Pallet Storage & Flow Resources
Pallet Track is one of several ways to add density and flow to pallet storage. Compare related high-density and flow systems to find the right fit.
Pallet Racking
Selective pallet racking for 100% pallet selectivity and immediate access to every load—the foundation Pallet Track integrates into.
View Pallet Racking →Push Back High Density Racking
Store 2 to 6 pallets deep per lane with LIFO push back racking—another way to maximize density while keeping selectivity.
View Push Back Racking →Gravity Flow Racks
Inclined carton flow racks for dense, FIFO order picking—ideal where you flow cases rather than full pallets.
