Unlock the Power of
Push Back Pallet Racking

Pushback pallet racking is a high-density storage system ideal for FIFO (first-in, first-out) inventory. It utilizes angled rails and wheeled carts to store multiple pallets deep within a single lane. Pallets are loaded onto carts at the back and then pushed forward as additional pallets are added, making only the front pallet accessible at any given time. This system maximizes storage capacity while still allowing for individual pallet retrieval with a forklift.

Pushback Pallet Racking
for Efficient Warehousing

The primary use of pushback pallet racking is to store more pallets in a smaller warehouse space. It achieves this through:

Space Efficiency

Pushback racking maximizes storage capacity by storing pallets deep within the racking system, typically 2-6 pallets per lane. This allows you to store more pallets in a smaller footprint compared to selective racking where each pallet gets its own level.

LIFO Inventory Management

Pushback racking operates on a LIFO (Last In, First Out) basis. This means the last pallet loaded is the first one retrieved, which can be a drawback if you need frequent access to older inventory stored deeper within the lanes.

Space Saver

It maximizes storage space by increasing the number of pallets that can be stored in small spaces. This can potentially increase storage capacity by up to 50% compared to traditional pallet racking.

Improved Warehouse Throughput

Since you only need access to the front of the lane to load or unload pallets, there can be faster loading and unloading times, especially for frequently accessed items stored at the front. This can improve overall warehouse throughput for those specific items.

Safety Benefits

Pushback racks eliminate the need for forklifts to enter narrow aisles between racking units, which is a common practice with drive-in racking. This can significantly reduce the risk of accidents and injuries to warehouse personnel.

Cost Savings

Pushback racks squeeze more pallets into your warehouse. This means you get more storage for your buck, potentially saving on extra rental space in the long run. Even though the initial cost might be a bit higher, it can pay off over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions about pushback racking.

How deep can the storage go?

Most systems are designed for 2 to 6 pallets deep. This allows you to store multiple pallets of the same SKU in a single lane while keeping the front face accessible.

Do I need a special forklift?

No. Standard counterbalance or reach trucks work perfectly. You just need enough 'reach' to push the carts back, which most standard equipment handles easily.

Is this LIFO or FIFO?

Pushback is a LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) system. The last pallet you load is the first one available for picking, making it ideal for non-perishable goods.

Does it work in freezers?

Yes. In fact, it's a top choice for cold storage. Because it is high-density, it reduces the amount of 'expensive' air you have to keep chilled.

Can I mix pallet sizes?

For the best results, pallets should be uniform in size. Varied dimensions can cause the carts to seat improperly or jam, slowing down your pick speed.

How much maintenance is required?

Virtually none. Since there are no motors or complex electronics, maintenance is usually limited to periodic visual inspections for debris on the rails.
