Push back racking is a type of pallet storage system that allows for optimal use of space and efficient inventory management.
In a push back racking system, pallets are loaded onto wheeled carts that roll on rails, allowing for multiple pallets to be stored in a single lane, one in front of the other. When a new pallet is added to the lane, it pushes the existing pallets further back.
Here's an overview of how push back racking works:
1. The pallet is loaded onto a cart that is placed on a slight incline at the front of the rack.
2. The cart is pushed back into the rack by the next pallet that is loaded into the lane.
3. As the cart rolls back, it settles into a resting position on the rail, allowing the weight of the pallet to be evenly distributed on the rails.
4. When a pallet is removed from the front of the lane, the carts behind it automatically move forward to take its place.
Push back racking is an ideal application for businesses that need to store large quantities of the same type of product, and that frequently restock or rotate inventory. Because the racking system can store multiple pallets in a single lane, it is a space-efficient solution that allows businesses to make the most of their storage area.
Push back racking can also help to improve warehouse efficiency, as pallets can be easily accessed and removed from the front of the lane – reducing the time and effort required for pallet loading and unloading.
Overall, push back racking is a smart solution for businesses looking to optimize their warehouse storage capacity and streamline their inventory management processes.
