Push Back Pallet Racking
Push-back pallet racking is a high-density storage solution that maximizes warehouse space by eliminating interior aisles and allowing for multiple pallets to be stored in a single lane. It is a type of live storage system, which means that the pallets are stored on rollers or shuttles that move along rails. This allows for easy access to the pallets, as the forklift operator only needs to load or unload pallets from a single aisle.
Rails: Inclined rails are mounted to the upright frames of the rack, providing a surface for the carts or rollers to slide.
Carts or Rollers: Positioned on the rails, these components allow pallets to be moved back and forth within the lane.
Pallet Entry Point: The front of the lane where pallets are loaded and unloaded.
High-Density Storage: Push-back pallet racking can store up to 90% more pallets than selective pallet racking.
Reduces Aisle Space: By eliminating interior aisles, it significantly reduces the amount of floor space required for storage.
Improves Inventory Turnover: Utilizes a LIFO (Last In, First Out) inventory rotation method, which can help to improve inventory turnover.
Easy to Load and Unload: Forklift operators only need to load or unload pallets from a single aisle.
Push-back pallet racking is a versatile storage solution that can be used in a variety of industries, including:
Food and Beverage: A popular choice for food and beverage warehouses due to its ability to store a large volume of inventory in a compact space.
Manufacturing: Ideal for storing raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods in manufacturing facilities.
Retail: Useful for storing merchandise in backrooms and stockrooms of retail stores.
Distribution: Effective for staging shipments before delivery, optimizing space and efficiency.
