Dynamic shelving: parcels, totes and pallets

In the industrial sector, where the challenges of logistics and efficiency are paramount, optimizing storage space while guaranteeing smooth product rotation is becoming essential.
Dynamic shelving, also known as dynamic storage or gravity shelving, is the perfect answer to this requirement. This product range reduces handling of cartons, totes or pallets, streamlines flows and increases productivity and picking. On the French market, PRODEX, part of the MAVENTIS Group, has been a benchmark player for over 70 years in the design and installation of dynamic storage solutions for both parcels and pallets.

What is dynamic shelving?

Unlike static shelving, dynamic shelving is based on the principle of gravity. Load units – cartons, totes, pallets – are placed on slightly inclined rails equipped with rollers. In this way, products move automatically to the picking or output zone as they are picked.

There are two main traffic logics:

  • FIFO (First In, First Out): products entered first are also the first out, ideal for products with a best-before date.
  • LIFO (Last In, First Out): the last products entered are the first to be accessed, useful in buffer zones or for slow-moving items.

Dynamic shelving for parcels and totes

In order-picking warehouses and picking areas, dynamic shelving for boxes and totes is the ideal solution for just-in-time flows. It facilitates access to boxes and totes without unnecessary movement, reducing operator effort and improving ergonomics.

Benefits :

  • Productivity gains: reduced travel and immediate access to references.
  • Optimized order picking: only one picking side, stock is automatically repositioned. + references stored for picking.
  • Rotating stock: easy FIFO management.
  • Modularity: adapts to different parcel sizes.
  • Adaptability: can be integrated into existing pallet racking systems.
  • Ergonomics: reduced handling, improved product accessibility, reduced risk of RSI for operators.

At PRODEX, MAVENTIS Group, these storage systems are designed for integration into logistics environments. They are fitted with sturdy, adjustable roller tracks that are quiet to handle. We offer a range of optional extras, such as foot steps, label holders, castors, protective mesh and much more.

Dynamic pallet racking

Dynamic pallet racking provides deep storage at very high density. Pallets move by gravity, without mechanical intervention, from the loading point to the exit.

Two main configurations:

  • FIFO: promotes stock rotation, recommended for perishable products.
  • Push-back (LIFO): pallets are pushed one behind the other, suitable for slow-moving storage areas.

Benefits :

  • Space-saving: shorter aisles.
  • Safety +: less handling per cart.
  • Better stock management: visibility and accessibility on several levels.
  • Adaptability: can be integrated into existing pallet racking systems.
  • Ergonomics: reduced handling, improved product accessibility, reduced risk of RSI for operators.

PRODEX offers systems adapted to heavy loads, integrating braking and guiding devices to guarantee a safe and controlled flow.
