Creform Corp. has designed and produced a heavy-duty mobile flow rack for an automotive assembly plant. The flow rack is used by the body shop to flow in production parts on the assembly line.

The rack is built from 42-mm pipe and joints and features the manufacturer’s Placon roller conveyor. The low-friction skate wheel conveyors allow for shallow flow lane angles that are suitable for both plastic returnable totes and cardboard boxes.

The rack features two repositionable supply levels with one flow lane per level, while empty containers are returned up top. The rack is configured with a stair-step design to improve access to parts in boxes presented at the two supply levels. It can be customized with simple tools.
