Customizable push-back racking solutions tailored to your industrial and commercial storage needs.
When it comes to storage solutions, the push-back racking system is a remarkably efficient and flexible choice. Focused on optimizing your warehouse space, the push-back pallet racking system is designed based on the LIFO (last in, first out) load management principle. In essence, the most recently placed pallet is the first to leave.
At the heart of efficient warehouse operations lies an understanding of the various racking systems available and the principles that guide them. The push-back racking system is one such solution that embodies an innovative approach to storage.
The push-back racking system, often referred to as the roller pallet racking system, capitalizes on the power of gravity and smart engineering to maximize storage capacity and improve access. Unlike conventional systems that store pallets on static shelves, push-back racking operates in a dynamic and interactive way.
Here’s how it works: Each pallet is placed on a set of nested rolling carts, which are stationed on inclined rails. When a new pallet is loaded onto the front of the system, it pushes the previously loaded pallets back, hence the term “push-back.”
Push-back racking systems offer several substantial benefits for warehouse operations:
Push-back racking systems are designed to maximize the use of available warehouse space. Unlike traditional systems, they allow pallets to be stored in depth, reducing the amount of aisle space needed and thus significantly increasing storage density.
The design of push-back racking systems provides direct access to each level or lane, increasing the number of accessible SKUs. This means operators can retrieve a wider range of items without having to move other pallets, which can greatly streamline warehouse operations and reduce handling time.
Push-back racking systems are designed to be flexible and adaptable. They can accommodate different pallet sizes and shapes, and their depth can be customized according to the specific needs of your warehouse.
A unique advantage of the push-back racking system is its impact on handling time. When a pallet is removed, the next one automatically moves forward due to the rolling carts. This gravity-fed design eliminates the need for operators to reach into the rack to retrieve items, reducing handling time and increasing operational efficiency.
With push-back racking systems, each level can be used to store a different product, making inventory management more organized and efficient. This can help reduce errors and improve the accuracy of inventory tracking, leading to more effective supply chain management.
Push-back racking systems are perfect for warehouses and industries where medium-rotation palletized goods with few references per SKU are stored. These sectors include:
