Pallet Flow Braking Systems
Concentric Storage Systems designs and integrates high-performance Pallet Flow Braking Systems that improve safety, protect inventory, and maintain smooth pallet movement in gravity-fed warehouse storage applications. Installed directly within pallet flow and push-back rack systems, these mechanical speed controllers regulate pallet travel speed without the need for electricity or external power sources.
Our pallet flow braking systems are engineered to prevent pallets from accelerating too quickly as they move through the rack. By controlling pallet speed, these systems help reduce product damage, improve forklift accessibility, and create a safer warehouse environment for operators and equipment.
How Pallet Flow Braking Systems Work
Pallet flow braking systems use self-energized mechanical speed controllers built into the roller track structure. As pallets travel down the lane, the moving load activates internal gearing within the brake mechanism. This gearing applies controlled resistance that slows the pallet to a safe, consistent speed throughout the flow lane.
Because the braking mechanism is fully mechanical, no wiring, motors, or external power supplies are required. The system operates entirely from the energy generated by the moving pallet itself, making pallet flow braking systems highly reliable and low maintenance.
Benefits of Pallet Flow Braking Systems
Better Pallet Positioning
Pre-Installed In-Line Pallet Flow Brakes
Heavy pallets moving through gravity flow lanes can quickly gain dangerous momentum. Properly engineered pallet flow braking systems help control pallet speed, reducing the risk of rack damage, product impact, or worker injury.
With no external power requirements and minimal maintenance needs, Concentric braking systems provide reliable pallet control for high-throughput distribution centers and warehouse spaces. Pallet brakes control the speed of gravity for accurate pallet placement.
Easy Installation – Low Maintenance
Engineered for Your Specific Application
Selecting the correct pallet flow braking system depends on several important operational factors, including:
- Warehouse environment conditions such as freezer, cold storage, ambient, wet, or dry applications
- Pallet flow rail construction and load capacity
- Flow lane slope and pitch
- Required braking resistance
- Pallet size, shape, and load characteristics
- Pallet style, including GMA wood pallets, plastic pallets, or specialty pallet designs
Brake placement and spacing are important and Concentric Storage Systems can test actual product flow to insure speed controllers are for optimal placement and flow.
