Push Back Racking

Push Back Racking

Pushback racking is a dynamic pallet storage system designed for high-density storage and FIFO (First-In, First-Out) inventory management. Here are the key aspects of pushback racking:

Nested Carts or Carriages: Pushback racking consists of a series of inclined nested carts or carriages within each storage lane. Pallets are loaded onto these carts from the front of the rack.

Gravity-Based Movement: As a new pallet is loaded onto the cart, it pushes the existing pallets further back into the lane, using gravity and the inclined structure of the system.

Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) Storage: This system operates on a last-in, first-out principle, where the most recently loaded pallet is the first to be retrieved, allowing for easy access to the latest inventory.

High-Density Storage: Pushback racking optimizes storage space by allowing multiple pallets to be stored in a single lane. It effectively utilizes vertical space and reduces the need for additional aisles within the rack structure.

Selective Access: While it operates on a LIFO principle, each level within the pushback racking system provides selective access to different SKU or pallet positions.

Efficient Stock Rotation: Pushback racking enables efficient stock rotation by automatically repositioning existing pallets to accommodate newly loaded ones.

Increased Efficiency: This system facilitates quicker and more efficient loading and unloading of pallets compared to traditional pallet racking, reducing handling times.

Customizable and Versatile: Pushback racking systems can be customized to accommodate various pallet sizes and weights, making them suitable for different industries and storage needs.

Safety Features: Incorporates safety features to ensure controlled and safe movement of pallets within the system, preventing pallets from accidentally falling or colliding.

Integration with Automation: Pushback racking systems can be integrated with conveyor systems or other automation technologies for improved efficiency in material handling and inventory management.

Pushback racking is commonly used in warehouses and distribution centers where high-density storage, efficient stock rotation, and selective access to pallets are essential. It provides an organized and space-efficient storage solution for various industries.
