Carton Live Shelving
If your operation handles fast-moving or date-sensitive stock, carton live shelving keeps inventory flowing, reduces pick times and makes better use of your available space.
Carton live storage and shelving systems
An ideal storage solution for date-sensitive goods, high-SKU environments and operations where first-in, first-out stock rotation is a priority.
Using gravity-fed rollers set on a slight incline, stock moves from the loading lane to the picking face, automatically presenting the next item for selection and reducing manual handling between replenishment and pick.
Whether you’re running a food distribution warehouse, a retail stockroom or a wholesale operation, carton live shelving keeps inventory flowing efficiently. Its compact, high-density design makes it especially effective in facilities where floor space is limited but throughput demands are high.
Streamline goods handling with FIFO carton live shelving
-
01
Automatic stock replenishment
When an item is removed from the picking face, gravity-fed rollers automatically advance the next unit forward, removing the need for manual replenishment between picks.
-
02
First-in, first-out stock rotation
New stock loads from the rear while picks are taken from the front, ensuring older inventory is always dispatched first. Perfect for seasonal goods and date-sensitive items.
-
03
Easy access and replenishment
Open shelving combined with smooth gravity rollers gives operatives immediate access to stock, reducing pick times and speeding up replenishment runs.
-
04
Making the most of your space
Carton live shelving makes better use of vertical storage depth and reduces the need for wide access aisles. Ideal for stockrooms, small warehouses and general stores where space is tight.
Shelving Options for All Storage Needs
Long span shelving: Heavy-duty, high-capacity shelving for bulky items that don’t fit on a standard pallet. Robust, adjustable beams make it tailor-made for workshops, stockrooms and general stores handling heavier goods.
Short span shelving: Freestanding and fully flexible, short span shelving gives you quick, easy access to smaller items without the need for floor fixing, so you can reconfigure your layout as needs change.
Shelving under racking: Make better use of the space beneath your racking bays. It integrates seamlessly with existing pallet racking, giving you a dedicated place for smaller, hand-picked items below bulkier pallet loads.
Mobile picking and storage: Removes the need for fixed aisles, freeing up floor space and giving you the flexibility to organise your storage layout as your operation demands.

Carton Live Shelving Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is carton live shelving and how does it work?
Carton live shelving uses inclined, gravity-fed roller tracks to move stock automatically from the rear loading lane to the front picking face. When an operative removes an item, the next unit slides forward into position, eliminating manual replenishment between picks and keeping your workflow moving continuously.
-
Is carton live shelving suitable for food and retail environments?
Yes, carton live shelving is particularly well-suited to food, retail and wholesale environments where FIFO stock rotation and date compliance are essential. The system ensures older stock is always picked first, reducing waste and supporting regulatory requirements for date-sensitive goods.
-
Does carton live shelving need to be inspected regularly?
Yes, all warehouse storage, including carton live shelving, should be inspected regularly to remain compliant with health and safety standards and to minimise the risk of accidents. Palletower's SEMA-accredited engineers can carry out thorough inspections and ongoing maintenance to keep your facility safe and operational.
-
Can carton live shelving be adjusted or expanded over time?
Absolutely. Shelf heights and lane dividers can be reconfigured as your product range or storage volumes change. Systems can also be expanded by adding additional bays or integrating carton live modules with existing pallet racking, giving you a solution that grows with your operation.
