Engineered to maximize warehouse floor density, our primary FIFO gravity systems offer safe and reliable pallet flow operations for Japanese distribution centers.
The Japanese industrial sector operates under unique logistical paradigms. With cities like Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya serving as vital economic arteries, available industrial land is remarkably scarce and expensive. Consequently, Japanese warehouse operators prioritize maximum volumetric efficiency and dynamic storage density. This has driven the adoption of Pallet Flow (Gravity) Racking systems, which eliminate excessive aisles by feeding pallets via gravity down inclined roller lanes.
However, importing and implementing steel structural products in Japan demands compliance with stringent engineering frameworks. Most notably, the high frequency of seismic activity requires all industrial racking setups to adhere to the Building Standard Law of Japan and design methodologies certified to resist substantial lateral forces.
At Nanjing Ciho Racks, we specialize in customizing high-strength steel structures to meet these rigid parameters, ensuring that every pallet flow lane functions flawlessly under both daily operation and unexpected geological shifts.
High-integrity components ensure safe descent, controlled speed, and zero pressure accumulation at the discharge face.
To prevent high-velocity impacts, dynamic speed controllers (brake rollers) are integrated along the lane. Typically installed at one-pallet intervals, they restrict pallet travel speed to a safe constant (under 0.3 meters per second).
At the unloading face, the weight of trailing pallets exerts high line pressure on the first pallet. Our specialized mechanical separators isolate the first pallet from back-pressure, allowing forklifts to extract pallets easily and safely.
Lanes are engineered with an optimal incline slope of 3% to 4%, depending on pallet weight distribution. Combined with custom guide entries, it minimizes lane drift and ensures pallets track perfectly from loading to extraction.

To optimize warehouse space and improve logistics efficiency by providing innovative, safe, and reliable storage solutions for customers around the world.
Every beam, upright, and roller lane is manufactured through high-precision machining, strict inspection protocols, and electrostatic powder coating.
Helping modern enterprises overcome high space costs, inventory turnover challenges, and local safety restrictions.
Cold storage facilities in Tokyo Bay and regional hubs run at extremely high energy costs. Standard selective racking wastes storage volume in cold environments. Our Pallet Flow FIFO (First-In, First-Out) solution maximizes dynamic utilization, enabling food and pharma distribution operators to store perishable goods continuously without missing expiration window targets.
By shifting to gravity flow racking, storage density increases by up to 60% within the same refrigerated footprint, resulting in immense utility overhead savings.
For operations near Nagoya serving the global automotive manufacturing ecosystem, Just-In-Time (JIT) delivery is essential. Gravity flow storage tracks guarantee that older raw materials or finished products are discharged first, eliminating bottlenecks on assembly floors. Heavy-duty rollers withstand rigorous forklift activity and heavy component loads (up to 1,500kg per pallet position).
