PUSHBACK RACK Pushback rack systems are ideal for warehouses that store a high volume of product, multiple pallets per SKU, and a high volume of turnover. The biggest advantage of push back racking is its ability to offer both selectivity (access to different pallets/SKU's) and storage density by storing multiple pallets per position.
How it works • Push back racking store pallets on wheeled carts that rest in rails, utilizing the force of gravity. • Tilted towards the unloading end of the rack, this enables the forklift operator to load pallets onto the carts, and push them back as the next pallet is loaded.
Advantages • High-density storage • Allows for storage of more SKU's • Can range from two to six pallets deep • Can accommodate a wide range of pallet sizes and styles • Because each lane operates independently, push back pallet storage offers a more flexible pallet storage option than Drive-In racking, which is best for storing many pallets of only a few SKU's. • Higher productivity can be achieved as forklifts can store and retrieve pallets quicker than drive-in rack
Common Pushback Rack Design Questions to Ask • Available area for Pushback Rack? • Dimensions of the pallet (W x D x H)? • What type of pallet is being stored? (Take pictures of the pallet including the bottom) • What is the weight of the pallets being stored? • Are your pallets standard GMA pallets? • How many pallets do you need to store? • # Pallets Deep x # Pallets High? • Clear Ceiling Height? • Max Lift Height of Forklift? • Aisle Requirements?
