Economic gravity-feed system
Gravity Feed Sliding Mat
Low-friction shelf mats with configurable dividers for bottles, cartons and packaged goods.
System anatomy
Build the low-profile gravity lane
The mat, divider, front restraint and shelf angle work together. Treat them as one tested configuration rather than interchangeable decoration.
Low-friction mat
Supports forward movement without a roller assembly.
Plastic divider
Creates a clean, defined lane for compatible packs.
Wire divider
Adds open guidance with flexible positioning.
Front restraint
Stops the pack at a visible, accessible shelf edge.
Divider options
Plastic or wire guidance
The original page separates these two configurations because they behave differently around pack shape, cleaning and lane adjustment.
Plastic dividers
Create defined lanes with a clean modular surface.
Wire dividers
Use light visual separation and flexible positioning.
Low-friction surface
Move products without a roller assembly
The textured surface reduces contact friction while dividers guide each product lane toward the front edge.
- Low-profile shelf coverage
- Plastic or wire divider options
- Flexible lane widths
- Simple cleaning and replacement
Angle and package
Let gravity do the work
The original system is designed around inclined shelves. Test the actual bottle, jar, can or carton at the proposed angle before rollout.
Comparison
When to choose roller track
Move to roller track when loads are heavier, shelf movement is more demanding or the packaging does not slide consistently on a mat.
- Test the actual package
- Measure usable shelf depth
- Confirm shelf angle
- Run a pilot before rollout
Application evidence
Test bottles, cans, jars and cartons on the actual surface
A stable base and predictable contact surface matter more than the product category name. Use the real package to confirm continuous travel and stopping behaviour.
Economic alternative
Compare mat, roller and pusher systems
A sliding mat reduces mechanical components. Roller track suits demanding gravity movement, while spring pushers apply direct force to each lane.
- Use the actual pack
- Confirm shelf angle
- Compare installed cost
- Test cleaning and refill work
Production and installation
Cut, configure and validate the complete shelf bay
Confirm the mat size, divider positions, front restraint and packing method from the approved sample before preparing rollout quantities.
- Cut to approved shelf dimensions
- Set divider positions
- Run movement and cleaning checks
- Label components by shelf bay
- Pack to protect the low-friction surface
