Push Back Racking

Push-back racking is a high-density pallet storage system that uses depth instead of multiple aisles, allowing several pallets to be stored in a single lane. Operating on the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) principle, pallets are loaded onto nested carts or inclined rails. When a new pallet is placed, it pushes the previous one backward. During unloading, the front pallet is removed and the others automatically slide forward by gravity.

Main Components:

1. Pallet rack frame 2. Front Beam 3. Intermediate Beam 4. Rails

5. Cart 6. Pallet stops 7. Skid-resistant surface 8. Full cart over

Key Advantages

1. High Space Utilization
   Maximizes warehouse capacity by reducing the number of aisles, achieving storage density up to 85–90%.

2. Improved Efficiency
   Forklifts only operate at the rack face, minimizing travel distance and increasing loading/unloading speed.

3. Flexible Design
   Lanes can be designed to store 2–6 pallets deep, and system height, depth, and capacity can be customized.

4. Safe and Low Maintenance
   Gravity-driven operation requires no power supply, with fewer mechanical parts and reduced risk of forklift impact.

Applications

• Warehouses with medium SKU variety but high pallet quantities per SKU.

• Cold storage and food warehouses, where space efficiency and energy savings are critical.

• Facilities with limited aisle space requiring dense storage.

Industries that can accept LIFO inventory rotation, such as beverages, packaging, or building materials.

FAQ:

1. How can you get a quote as quickly as possible?

For racks with specific dimensions, please tell us:
