Push-Back Pallet Racking

The Perfect Combination of Storage Density & Selectivity!

100% Selectivity — for low turnover, high SKU inventory. With benefits such as low cost, easy to assemble and reconfigure, and direct access to multiple SKUs it is no surprise that selective pallet rack is a go-to material handling solution.

The ideal, cost-saving system for carton and each-pick order fulfillment, carton flow rack is a gravity-fed, first-in, first-out (FIFO) storage solution that consolidates SKUs, saves space and reduces labor travel time.

Streamline case picking and boost pick rates by consolidating order selection in a smaller footprint; ideal for high volume/high throughput fulfillment. Ask about our time, space & labor savings we've achieved for our clients.

Getting to Know Your Push-Back Rack

Push-Back Rack Storage - E-Distribution

Warehouse Storage, Rack‎ System

Push-back systems feature nested carts (2-6 pallets deep), allowing for seamless loading and unloading. With each pallet gently pushed back, the system readies the cart beneath for the next load. As pallets are retrieved, gravity glides the rear carts forward to replenish the pick position. Our team assesses your operation to determine if push-back racks suit your storage needs, typically requiring at least 4 lanes x push-back depth for efficient rotation.

To load and unload a push-back pallet racking:

Loading:

1. Start with the topmost level and work your way down.
2. Insert the first pallet on the lowest level.
3. Push the second pallet back against the first, ensuring they're secure.
4. Continue this process until all levels are filled, pushing each pallet back to make room for the next.
5. Repeat for each lane, ensuring proper weight distribution and balance.


Unloading:

1. Begin with the topmost level and work your way down, opposite to loading.
2. Remove the pallets starting from the front, allowing the remaining pallets to roll forward.
3. Once the front pallet is removed, the next pallet in line will roll into position.
4. Continue this process until the lane is empty.
5. Repeat for each lane, ensuring safe handling and clearance for forklifts.
