Modular Gravity Flow Racks for Lean Manufacturing
Line-side FIFO flow systems designed for efficient material delivery on the production floor.
Gravity-fed lanes for bins, totes, and cartons
Configurable for high-mix and high-volume environments
Modular aluminum construction — no welding or painting required
Suitable for all manufacturing industries
Designed, assembled and supported in Canada
Designed for Line-Side Material Flow
The ideal way to present material to your operators, gravity flow racks are the industry standard in advanced manufacturing facilities due to their responsiveness to the needs of your operators. Effortlessly retrieve heavy boxes and parts, while optimizing storage space. With IPS, every aspect is configurable: length, width, height, and function. Our gravity flow racks can also be structured to feed numerous containers for efficient line side material delivery. Design the best turnkey solution for your needs, and take a step towards leaner manufacturing today.
IPS gravity flow racks are modular material delivery systems used to support lean manufacturing, kitting, and assembly operations. By using gravity to present materials at the point of use, these systems improve FIFO control, reduce operator motion, and support consistent production flow.
Our racks are built using industrial-grade aluminum profiles and connectors, allowing layouts to be easily adjusted as products, volumes, or processes change.
Purpose-Built for the Production Floor
Unlike large-scale pallet racking or forklift-dependent storage, gravity flow racks are intended for line-side use, where ergonomics, accessibility, and replenishment speed are critical.
Common applications:
Assembly cell part presentation
Kitting and sub-assembly operations
Kanban and pull-based replenishment
Carton, tote, and bin flow lanes
Modular by Design
IPS gravity flow racks follow widely adopted modular design principles used in lean manufacturing environments. This allows us to integrate with existing layouts, replicate proven designs, or improve upon current systems without requiring a full redesign.
Compatible with common modular pipe-and-joint design standards
Easy expansion, reconfiguration, or repair
Suitable for greenfield installations or retrofits

From Concept to Delivery. How it works:
1. Tell us about your project
Share your layout, sketch, or bill of materials and our project manager will work with you to gather the relevant information to get started including flow rack dimensions, elevations and constraints.
2. Design
With your collaboration, our engineers will design or validate a custom flow rack configuration to suit your exact application and specifications. 3D CAD drawings and renderings will be submitted for your approval.
3. Delivery and Installation
Our team will deliver your flow rack system fully assembled and turn key. In most cases your flow rack system arrives ready to be installed into your production cell. In some cases, we can deliver it in kitted form for your team to assemble on site.
No welding or painting. No fabrication delays. Fully modular.
Built for Industrial Use
IPS gravity flow racks are used in manufacturing facilities where durability, repeatability, and efficiency matter. Our systems are designed to support continuous operation in demanding production environments. We serve all manufacturing industries including automotive, aerospace, furniture, electronics and more.
