Push-Back Rack System



View a push back rack clip on how it works:


Push back pallet rack system works by pallets are placed by forklift on nested carts riding on inclined rails. Each pallet is then pushed back by subsequent pallet loading, exposing the next cart. When removing product, the forklift takes out the front pallet, allowing the pallets on carts behind it to roll gently to the front of the rack. The nested carts make placement and retrieval easy.

Push Back Pallet Rack Systems are last-in, first-out storage.

Push-Back pallet racking is high density pallet storage where product are stored two, three, or four deep. Pallets are retrieved and fed from one aisle allowing for the first pallet-in to become the last pallet-out,allows efficient use of space and reduces pick times through simplified stock accessibility.

The advantages of choosing push back rack system are:

1. Better use of warehouse space - Push back offers up to 90% more product storage than selective rack systems.
2. Store a variety of SKUs on different levels of lanes for easy product access.
3. Interlocking carts help percent dangerous jamming and costly product damage.
4. Increased selectivity - up to 400% more selectivity than drive-in racks.
5. High storage density coupled with selectivity for faster pick rates.
6. Color coded carts for easy visual inventory.
7. Large target for loading and unloading.
8. Maximizes space utilization.
9. "Last in, first out" inventory.
