Push-Back Pallet Rack Systems

The optimal combination of selectivity & high-density storage.

High-Density, Deep Lane Storage!

One of the biggest challenges of warehouses today is storing an ever increasing number of pallets, with an ever increasing number of products in a fixed storage space. PUSH-BACK PALLET RACK storage systems will help increase the pallet count, while offering many more pick faces than other high-density storage systems like Drive-in/Drive-thru racks.

PUSH-BACK PALLET RACK systems are a LIFO (Last-in, First-out) gravity storage system that uses inclined rails and nested carts or rollers to load/unload pallets one behind the other. This provides high-density as it only requires one aisle for picking and allows access to multiple groups of SKU’s.

Advantages of Push Back Racking

  • Beneficial for LIFO (Last-in / First-out) storage configuration.
  • Offers 90% more storage capacity than selective racking.
  • Ideal for storing same SKU pallets.
  • Stores up to 6 pallets deep using traditional push-back carts systems or 12+ deep using pallet flow rollers.
  • The best mix of high density storage with selectivity.
  • As a gravity flow rack, does not require batteries or electricity to operate.
  • Pallets can be loaded and unloaded more quickly because of the single-aisle accessibility, which minimizes labor efforts.
  • Rack damage is significantly reduced because forklift doesn’t have to drive in the rack to load/unload pallets.
  • Sturdy construction yields years of maintenance-free operations.

How Push-Back Works

Push-back racking system are designed to maximize warehouse space and improve inventory management. It operates on a last-in, first-out (LIFO) principle, where pallets are loaded onto nested carts that move along inclined rails. When a new pallet is added, it pushes the existing pallets back, creating a dense storage arrangement. When a pallet is removed, the remaining pallets automatically roll forward to the front position using gravity, ready for the next retrieval. This system is particularly efficient for storing multiple pallets of the same product, as it allows for quick access and reduces the need for extensive aisle space.

Traditional push-back cart and track design has a 6 deep pallet maximum, meanwhile pallet flow rails system allows up to 12+ pallets deep.

Why Choose Push-Back Racking?

Any warehouse operation that is looking to increase their storage space and maximize density in their current facility should consider acquiring push-back racking. This racking solution is fully operational on coolers and freezers and no special forklifts are required to operate them. Push Back Racks are best applicable for operations that have a large number of SKU’s and need a lot of pick faces. Good for items that have a long storage life and don’t require immediate access. Well suited to storing large quantities of relatively few product types.

We have installed push-back racking in a wide variety of industry types like:

  • Food distribution
  • Manufacturing
  • Third Party Logistic Facilities
  • Automotive
  • Parmaceuticals
  • + Much More
