What is pushback rack?
High-density pushback racks store pallets several positions deep (between 2 and 6 pallets each lane) on nested carts in a LIFO (last-in, first-out) storage scheme. As new pallets are loaded, they push previously stored pallets backward. When a pallet is removed, gravity rolls the next pallet into position. This means that all pallets are always placed and picked from the same aisle. Pushback is ideal for inventory that doesn't require strict rotation.How pushback pallet rack works
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. If your product can be picked last-in, first-out, with one SKU per position, pushback is ideal.
A pushback rack system fills the storage cube with product, not aisles
Instead of single pallet-deep selective racks, a pushback rack system lets you store pallets 2 to 5 deep while retaining easy access to a variety of different SKUs.
The single-source system is also easy to install: simple, drop-in cart rail assembly shortens installation time and reduces the chances of errors or delays. Rigid rail design is constructed from 55,000 PSI high-strength steel. The fully welded frames offer greater rigidity than lesser rack systems. This rack is maintenance free and offers a very long service life, along with safer operations and better product protection.

Why a pushback rack system?
- Better use of warehouse space - push back offers up to 90% more product storage than selective rack systems
- Store a variety of SKUs on different levels of lanes for easy product access
- Interlocking carts help prevent dangerous jamming and costly product damage
- Up to 400% more selectivity than drive-in racks makes pushback more versatile for a greater number of SKU's
- High storage density coupled with selectivity for faster pick rates
- Color coded carts for easy visual inventory
- Large target for loading and unloading
- Maximizes space utilization by filling the vertical cube
- Last in, first out inventory
- Unlike drive-in racks, each level is independently accessible
