Push Back Rack Systems

Push Back Pallet Rack Systems are last-in, first-out storage.

How Push Back Racks work: Pallets are placed by forklift on nested carts riding on inclined rails. Each pallet is then pushed back by subsequent pallet loading, exposing the next cart. When removing product, the forklift takes out the front pallet, allowing the pallets on carts behind it to roll gently to the front of the rack. The nested carts make placement and retrieval easy.


A push Back rack system fills the storage cube with product, not aisles. Instead of single pallet-deep selective racks, a Pushback rack system allow store pallets 2 to 5 deep while retaining easy access to a variety of different SKUs.

Why pushback rack systems?

1. Better use of warehouse space - Push back offers up to 90% more product storage than selective rack systems.

2. Store a variety of SKUs on different levels of lanes for easy product access.

3. Interlocking carts help percent dangerous jamming and costly product damage.

4. Increased selectivity - up to 400% more selectivity than drive-in racks.

5. High storage density coupled with selectivity for faster pick rates.

6. Color coded carts for easy visual inventory.

7. Large target for loading and unloading.

8. Maximizes space utilization.

9. "Last in, first out" inventory.
