Keg Storage Solutions
What are Keg Storage Solutions?
Keg storage solutions are purpose-built systems that enable efficient, safe, and space-saving storage of beer kegs. These solutions can include custom keg storage racks, keg flow systems, and ergonomic keg shelving designed specifically for the unique challenges of storing round, heavy containers like kegs.
Distributors, breweries, and fulfillment operations often struggle with storing kegs. The round shape and weight of beer kegs make them difficult to handle and store without specialized equipment. In many operations, kegs end up stored on the ground, which creates safety concerns and wastes valuable space.
To keep pace with industry demands, including the rise in keg variety, increased SKU counts, seasonal inventory fluctuations, and tighter inventory controls, businesses are turning to engineered keg storage solutions like UNEX SpanTrack Keg Flow. Whether you're a beverage distributor expanding your product line, a craft brewery managing small-batch variety, or a bar or retailer dealing with backroom constraints, Keg Flow helps you store smarter.
Who Can Benefit from a Durable Keg Storage Solution?
Any business that handles beer kegs can benefit from a rugged, space-efficient keg storage rack. This includes:
-
Beer distributors managing increasing SKU counts and product diversity
-
Breweries balancing production with limited warehouse space
-
Restaurants and bars improving back-of-house organization
-
3PLs handling alcohol and beverage logistics
Keg storage solutions help consolidate floor space, reduce the need for bending and lifting, and improve stock rotation — all while cutting operational costs. By storing kegs in ergonomic, gravity-fed lanes, pickers reduce travel time and eliminate mispicks. This allows operations to increase throughput and store more SKUs within a tighter footprint.

What are the Benefits of Engineered-to-Order Keg Storage Solutions?
- Increased Space Efficiency: Keg storage racks consolidate kegs vertically, eliminating the need for ground storage and freeing up valuable warehouse or backroom space.
- Ergonomic Design: Reduce physical strain on workers by enabling standing-height picks. UNEX keg storage solutions minimize bending, lifting, and repetitive strain injuries common in traditional storage setups.
- Improved Inventory Rotation: SpanTrack Keg Flow supports FIFO (first-in, first-out) methodology, ensuring that older inventory is picked first. This reduces waste, simplifies expiration management, and helps maintain product quality.
- Operational Efficiency: Fewer touches, shorter travel distances, and quick replenishment from the rear of the rack lead to faster, more accurate picking, and lower labor costs overall.

Optimize Your Keg Storage with UNEX Solutions
As the beverage industry continues to grow, so does the complexity of keg storage. Distributors must accommodate a wider variety of keg types — such as Sixth Barrel, Quarter Barrel, Slim Quarter, and Half Barrel — while managing expiration dates, SKU proliferation, and pressure for faster fulfillment.
To address these evolving needs, UNEX developed SpanTrack Keg Flow, a modular keg storage solution that delivers exceptional durability, capacity, and flexibility. This system integrates seamlessly into existing pallet racks and uses full-width heavy-duty rollers to support keg weight while ensuring smooth movement and easy access.
SpanTrack Keg Flow helps operations eliminate floor-level keg storage and replace it with organized, FIFO-compatible lanes that maximize pick efficiency and inventory accuracy. Kegs flow naturally to the pick face, guided by integrated guardrails and high roller stops that reduce wear on containers and improve ergonomics for workers.
By implementing SpanTrack Keg Flow, beer distributors and beverage warehouses can store more SKUs in less space, boost productivity, and create a safer work environment, all while future-proofing their facility for growth. Whether you're optimizing a new layout or retrofitting an existing system, UNEX keg storage racks are engineered to support your success.
Increase Capacity and Solve Safety Challenges with UNEX Keg Storage Solutions
Maximize warehouse space, increase capacity, and streamline keg picking operations with UNEX SpanTrack Keg Flow, an engineered keg storage solution designed specifically for the beverage industry.
Keg Flow increases storage density by utilizing vertical space and eliminating inefficient floor stacking. The system supports both 1/6 and 1/4 slim kegs, and its interchangeable tracks easily drop into existing channel or step beams — making it a flexible, easy-to-install keg storage rack. Heavy-duty steel rollers ensure long-term durability, while the integrated high roller stop provides smooth, ergonomic keg “roll out” and reduces wear on aluminum kegs. SpanTrack Keg Flow is available in single- or double-deep lanes to accommodate a variety of storage needs.
Backed by decades of space optimization expertise, UNEX manufactures engineered-to-order storage solutions that help warehouses and distribution centers condense, organize, and better manage growing SKU counts. From dynamic keg storage systems to carton flow and high-density storage, UNEX solutions are proven to reduce travel time, improve order accuracy, and dramatically increase space utilization.
Whether you're outfitting a new facility or upgrading your current layout, UNEX delivers scalable, durable, and efficient storage systems tailored to your operation.
