The concept of first in-first out (FIFO) stock rotation is ideally satisfied by carton and pallet live storage. These storage systems may be lineside materials handling or warehouse based. Live storage is a high density storage medium suitable for many products such as books, videos and packaged pharmaceuticals. The pallets are stored in a block system on sloping roller conveyor tracks supported on pallet racking. Pallets are loaded from the top end and roll forward under the force of gravity when a pallet is retrieved from the bottom end.

Benefits of live storage
- Store and handle high volume rapid turnover stock
- Provide continuous flow of components on first in-first out principle
- Establish just-in-time materials provision system
- Flexible system with adjustable, shelf heights, wheel pitch, track and guide widths - goods deposited at rear of bay travel to picking face by gravity on wheeled track
- Tilted shelves - ease of access for stock picking
- High throughput capability
- Optimum filling ratio - High Density Storage
