Push-Back Racking Systems
High-Density Pallet Storage | Condensed Footprint
Push-back offers condensed pallet storage in organized SKU lanes facilitating faster, more accurate pallet loading and retrieval. The dynamic last-in/first-out (LIFO) design not only maximizes warehouse space but ensures an automatically replenished pick face, eliminating wait times and helping you meet demand.
Push Your Business Forward:
- Dynamic pallet storage
- Automatically replenished pick face
- LIFO inventory rotation
- Dense SKU storage
- Easy to operate
- Low maintenance
How to Use a Push-Back System -- Forklift operators place pallets on stacked wheeled carts at the pick face. The carts are on slightly sloping tracks that flow down to the pick aisle. The first pallet is loaded on the top cart, and subsequent pallets are loaded by pushing back the pallet at the pick face. When a pallet is extracted from the lane the rear carts automatically flow forward. Push-back uses a single aisle for loading and unloading pallets which frees up floor space for more productive use.
Benefits of Push-Back Racking Systems
Push-back racking systems provide a number of everyday and long-term benefits, such as:
- Higher-capacity storage - Store up to six pallets per lane creating a high-density storage solution in a condensed footprint.
- Quicker accessibility to stored goods - Individual SKU lanes and automatic pick face replenishment mean that your inventory is always at the ready for accurate pallet selection.
- Faster sortation of inventory - Deeper storage and fewer aisles to navigate means that your staff has to spend less time looking for items and managing inventory. This allows you to accelerate productivity and keep your operations moving.
One thing to keep in mind with push-back racking systems is that the moving parts of the push-back system require a regular inspection to make sure that they remain free to flow.
- Check for debris that could obstruct the carts, such as broken boards, plastic wrap, and cardboard
- Inspect bolted connections that can loosen over time
- Examine cart wheels and bearings to make sure they spin freely, especially if they are subject to moisture or liquids.
