Similar in concept to pushback rack is a pallet flow system. The pallets move from back to front and as they are removed from the rack, the next in line takes the previous pallet's place. Unlike pushback rack however, the rack is usually loaded from the back and picked from the front.
Almost any static pallet rack system can be retrofitted to be a more efficient dynamic storage system because the pallet flow rails drop into place using the existing racking components as their support structure. Lanes of pallet flor rails usually have built-in 'brakes' that work to slow the pallets to a smooth gentle pace as they glide down the lane. One of the biggest strengths of pallet flow rails over pushback is that flow rails will allow a longer lane. For example, while pushback may be able to store pallets 5 deep, a pallet flow system will allow as many as 10-15 pallets deep.
Case flow track (often called Spantrack) is a great way to turn your existing static pallet racking into a dynamic gravity fed picking system. Typically, this type of flow track can be installed right onto existing pallet rack using a specialized clip that fits on the top of your existing beams. The loads are supported on an incline without the need for intermediate shelf supports and enable gravity-based movement, thus creating a first in-first out system.

Spantrack is a relatively new product that is starting to be used in place of Carton Flow Rack. Spantrack can usually be installed right onto existing pallet racking using a clip that fits on the top of existing beams. The loads are supported on an incline without the need for intermediate shelf supports and enable gravity fed movement.

Pallet flow rail is similar to case flow in that it can transform regular static pallet racking into a gravity flow system. It differs in that it can support much more weight than case flow track and is typically used for pallets and not boxes, cases or totes.
