CHUTES
Warehouse Chutes: Simple & Rapid Downward Goods Transfer
When your warehouse operation involves picking and packing directly on a mezzanine floor, the challenge is often efficiently and rapidly moving completed orders or components down to the ground level for dispatch or further processing. Warehouse Chutes provide a simple, highly effective, and entirely gravity-powered solution for this vertical transfer.
Chutes are an incredibly cost-effective and reliable method for moving goods compared to automated or mechanical systems. Because they rely on gravity, they have minimal moving parts, require almost no maintenance, and operate with zero energy costs, delivering immediate savings and high throughput right out of the box.
This system is specifically designed to handle a steady flow of:
Picked Items: Small components and individual pieces.
Totes and Baskets: Empty or partially filled containers returning to the ground.
Small Cartons: Completed orders ready for final packing or sorting.
At The Storage Centre, we design and install custom chutes that integrate seamlessly with your mezzanine floor layout, ensuring a controlled descent and safe delivery point on the ground level. They are an ideal complement to a well-designed picking station, significantly speeding up the time between an item being picked and it reaching the consolidation area.
By implementing a chute system, you immediately create a dedicated, fast channel for downward transfer, reducing reliance on lifts or stairs. This ensures your ground-floor operations receive products quickly and consistently, boosting overall efficiency and maintaining a smooth workflow.
