Cost-Effective Shelf Management: Are Gravity Mats Worth It?
Gravity mats are plastic inserts for retail and fridge shelves. They use gravity to push bottles, cans, and boxes forward after one is taken. No springs. No motors. Just a smooth HDPE surface and a small slope.
A gravity mat sits on a shelf inclined by about 6° to 9°. As each item is removed, the one behind slides into place. Staff only refill at the back. The mat does the rest.
