Push-back pallet racking is a high-density storage solution that allows multiple pallets to be stored in a single lane on inclined rails. When a new pallet is loaded, it pushes the previous pallet back, and when unloading, the pallets automatically slide forward using gravity. This last-in, first-out (LIFO) system is ideal for warehouses with medium turnover rates and facilities that need to store large quantities of the same SKU.

Key Features and Benefits

  1. Increased Storage Density: Push-back racking increases storage capacity by allowing up to 2-6 pallets deep per lane, maximizing the use of horizontal space with fewer aisles.

  2. Efficient LIFO Inventory Management: This system is best suited for last-in, first-out inventory management, making it ideal for bulk storage of non-perishable goods or products with longer shelf lives.

  3. Quick Access and Loading: Since forklifts load and unload from a single side, push-back racking saves time by reducing the distance operators need to travel. The system is highly efficient for high-density storage of the same SKU.

  4. Gravity-Assisted Unloading: When a pallet is removed from the front, gravity slides the remaining pallets forward, providing easy and quick access without needing forklifts to enter the rack.

  5. Minimized Product Damage: Push-back racks keep forklifts out of storage lanes, reducing the risk of collisions with racks or stored items. The sturdy design also provides stability for high stacking.

  6. Flexible Storage Solution: Push-back racking accommodates various pallet sizes and weights, making it adaptable to different storage needs and allowing a range of items to be stored within each lane.
