Push Back Pallet Rack: Maximize Storage Density & Efficiency

In today's competitive warehousing and distribution environment, maximizing storage capacity and streamlining operations are paramount. Push Back Pallet Rack systems offer a powerful solution for facilities seeking to significantly increase storage density while maintaining accessibility and selectivity. This innovative pallet storage system is designed for high-volume operations where space is at a premium and inventory turnover justifies the investment.

How Push Back Pallet Rack Works: Depth Storage with Selectivity

Unlike traditional selective pallet racking where each pallet resides on a static beam level, Push Back Rack operates on a dynamic principle. It utilizes inclined rails mounted on inclined frames, creating multiple lanes per bay, each lane capable of storing multiple pallets deep (typically 2 to 6 pallets deep). Pallets are loaded from the front onto nested wheeled carts that ride on these inclined rails.

The core mechanism is simple yet effective: when a new pallet is loaded onto the front cart, it pushes the existing pallets further back into the lane. The slight downward incline of the rails allows the carts to roll backward smoothly under the weight of the pallets. Conversely, when a pallet is unloaded from the front, the remaining pallets automatically roll forward due to gravity, presenting the next pallet at the pick face. This unique "Last-In, First-Out" (LIFO) functionality provides depth storage while still offering direct access to every pallet position within a lane – a key advantage over drive-in or drive-through systems.

Key Components & Structure

A Push Back system consists of sturdy upright frames, inclined rails, and specially designed wheeled carts. The frames are engineered to handle the dynamic load forces as pallets move within the lanes. The carts are robust, featuring rollers or wheels designed for smooth movement on the rails while supporting significant pallet weights. The system is configured in bays, with each bay containing multiple storage lanes running perpendicular to the aisle.

Benefits of Implementing Push Back Pallet Rack

1. Increased Storage Density: By storing pallets 2-6 deep, Push Back Rack dramatically increases pallet positions per square foot compared to selective racking. This is ideal for storing large quantities of similar SKUs.

2. Improved Selectivity & Accessibility: While a LIFO system, operators have direct access to every pallet position within a lane without needing to drive into the structure, unlike drive-in racks. Forklift operators work from a single access aisle.

3. Enhanced Efficiency: Loading and unloading pallets is fast and efficient. Operators interact only with the front pallet position, significantly reducing travel time within the rack system compared to navigating deep lanes in selective rack.

4. High Pallet Throughput: The system is designed for rapid loading and unloading cycles, making it suitable for high-volume distribution centers.

5. Improved Safety: The design minimizes the need for forklifts to enter the storage structure, reducing the risk of rack damage and potential accidents. The gravity-fed movement is predictable.

6. Space Utilization: Significantly reduces the number of aisles required, freeing up valuable floor space for other operations or storage.

7. Good Cube Utilization: Efficiently utilizes the available height within the warehouse.

Ideal Applications

Push Back Pallet Rack excels in scenarios where:

• High volumes of a limited number of SKUs need to be stored.

• Warehouse space is expensive or limited.

• Fast-moving inventory justifies the LIFO principle.

• High throughput and efficient pallet handling are required.

• Direct access to all pallets in a lane is necessary (unlike block stacking).

Capacity & Customization

Push Back systems are engineered for high capacities, typically ranging from 2,000 lbs to over 10,000 lbs per pallet position, depending on the design and configuration. Systems can be customized to fit specific building heights, pallet sizes, and weight requirements.

Conclusion

Push Back Pallet Rack represents a sophisticated storage solution that bridges the gap between high-density drive-in systems and the accessibility of selective racking. By leveraging gravity and dynamic cart movement, it delivers substantial gains in storage density and operational efficiency. For warehouses facing space constraints and handling large volumes of homogeneous SKUs, implementing Push Back Rack can be a transformative investment, driving significant cost savings and productivity improvements. Consider Push Back Rack when you need to store more pallets, faster, and safer within your existing footprint.

Structural feature:

By using roller rail system and pallet with rollers and under the influence of gravity, push back racking can achieve "first in and late out" easily, in and out from the same way.
It is used for storing large quantity of goods with the same kind, and make full use of the space. The depth of the racking should be less than that of five pallets'. The weight of the single pallet with goods is normally less than 1500kg.
