d. Rack, flow-through. Flow-through gravity rack is

most widely used for order picking operations. Flow-

through racks offer the advantages of FIFO material

flow and automatic gravity feed. As each pallet or

carton is removed from the flow rack, remaining pallets

or cartons advance at a controlled rate to fill the empty

space. Increased storage density is possible because

the requirement for aisles is reduced (fig 4-92).
