Revolutionizing Storage: The Advantages of Push Back Racking Systems

Push Back Racking Systems have transformed the landscape of storage and inventory management, offering unparalleled efficiency in maximizing warehouse space while improving pick times and safety.

Unlike conventional selective racks, push back systems allow multiple pallets to be stored on each level using a last-in, first-out (LIFO) flow. Carts ride on inclined rails so each new pallet gently pushes the previous one deeper into the lane, keeping the front position available for the next pick.

Why It Works

  • Maximizes density without sacrificing too much selectivity.
  • Reduces forklift travel and speeds up pallet turnover.
  • Great for SKUs with medium rotation and batch picking.

Design Tips

Ensure rail pitch is tuned to pallet weight, add pallet stops for safety, and validate clearances for your pallet footprint. Teardrop uprights with structural beams improve rigidity for higher bays.
