Detailed Product Description

push back pallet  rack

Pushback Rack is a reverse flow storage system which offers the same storage density as Drive-In Rack, but with much greater selectivity.

This rack is also known as Reverse Gravity Rack. Pushback Rack allows for a "Last In, First Out" (LIFO) rotation inventory management system as well as a reduction in the number of fork truck aisles needed in your warehouse.

This translates into increased productivity, efficiency (time savings) and optimizes your existing space. 

Loads/pallets are stored and retrieved from the aisle. Loads in each pushback rack lane rest on a cart, which sits atop a rail that slopes gently toward the front (towards the aisle).

When a new load/pallet is deposited onto a cart within a lane by a forklift, it "pushes back" the one already at the face as well as those behind it.

Depending how "deep" (2 deep to 6 deep) the rack is will determine how many pallets can be stored in that individual lane.

Then, when a load/pallet is picked from the face of the rack or lane, the contents of the lane all move gently forward (at a controlled and slow speed) with a new pallet coming to the face, replacing the one just removed.

This new pallet (which moved forward) is now also ready to be picked, or another pallet can be added ("pushed back") to fill the lane again.
