All weights move at the same speed

A new braking roller for carton live storage lanes from BITO Storage Systems ensures that both empty and fully-loaded bins and containers stocked in the same lane will move to the picking face at the same speed. It achieves this by adjusting the lane incline according to the weight of the empty containers to allow smooth and undisrupted forward movement of all containers irrespective of their weight. No auxiliary aids, such as hooks, are required. This is a particularly important capability in automatically serviced flow lanes.

The braking roller is based on a mechanical braking system comprising just four components, while the roller's TPE (thermoplastic rubber) surface increases the adhesion factor.

Compatible with BITO's modular carton live system the new braking roller can be retro-fitted.
