Push Back Racking

Here's how push back racking works:

Nested Carts or Rails: Each level of the push back racking system consists of nested carts or inclined rails. Pallets are loaded from the front onto these carts.
Gravity-Assisted Movement: When a new pallet is loaded onto a level, it pushes the existing pallets on that level backward along the inclined rail. This movement is facilitated by gravity.
Retrieval from the Front: When a pallet is removed from the front, the remaining pallets move forward, making space for a new pallet to be loaded. This creates a dynamic and efficient storage system.

Key features and benefits of push back racking include:

High-Density Storage: Push back racking maximizes storage density by allowing multiple pallets to be stored at each level. It is an excellent solution for businesses looking to make the most of their available warehouse space.
Efficient Use of Aisle Space: Unlike some other high-density storage systems, push back racking requires fewer aisles for forklift access, making it an efficient use of both floor space and vertical space.
LIFO Inventory Management: Push back racking operates on the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) principle. This makes it suitable for industries where stock rotation is not a critical factor, and the focus is on maximizing storage capacity.

Industries that benefit from push back racking include:

Cold Storage: Push back racking is commonly used in cold storage facilities for storing perishable goods. The high-density storage and efficient use of space make it well-suited for temperature-controlled environments.
Food and Beverage: Businesses dealing with food and beverage products with a longer shelf life can benefit from the increased storage capacity provided by push back racking.
Manufacturing: Industries with a need for bulk storage of raw materials or finished goods, where stock rotation is less critical, can benefit from the high-density storage capabilities of push back racking.
Distribution Centers: Push back racking is suitable for distribution centers dealing with a high volume of palletized goods, allowing for efficient storage and retrieval.
