Pushback racking is a high-density storage system that offers significantly more pick faces and higher pallet counts than conventional drive-in racking.
Each pushback lane features a set of nested carts (four carts in a five-deep system) and two inclined rails. The lift truck places the first pallet atop the top cart. The operator loads the second pallet by pushing the first load back and putting it on the next exposed cart. Pallets three and four have identical loads on them. The final pallet is set up directly on the rails. Pallets on carts behind the front pallet are removed by the lift truck when the product is being removed, allowing the pallets to roll gently to the front of the rack.
Pushback racking operates on a gravity-feed principle. Items are loaded at the front of the rack, and as each item is added, it pushes the preceding items farther back along inclined rails. This design maximizes storage space utilization by eliminating the need for aisles between each rack.
This system enables LIFO inventory management, prioritizing the most recently loaded items for picking first. This approach ensures efficient stock rotation and reduces the likelihood of product obsolescence.
All-Systems provides pushback racking configurations tailored to meet specific storage needs. These systems can be designed to handle a range of pallet sizes, weights, and loading/unloading preferences.
Pushback racking allows operators to access multiple SKUs from a single aisle, minimizing travel time and boosting warehouse productivity. Safety is prioritized with locking mechanisms that secure stored items during handling.
All-Systems pushback racking provides a flexible and space-efficient solution to enhance warehouse storage capacity while ensuring accessibility and efficient inventory management. Designed with customizable configurations and sturdy construction, these systems cater to the dynamic requirements of contemporary warehouse operations, promoting optimal space and resource utilization.
Pushback racking systems merge high-density storage with the flexibility of drive-in racking systems. This is accomplished by enabling each lane to operate independently and by utilizing the last-in, first-out principle. These pallet racking systems are well-suited for commercial and industrial uses, facilitating the storage of multiple pallets on a gravity-fed cart system where pallets are accessed from the rack’s front face.
