Push-Back Pallet Storage Racking

Elevating Warehouse Efficiency: The Benefits of Selective Push Back Racking

In the world of warehousing and logistics, efficiency is the name of the game. Push-back pallet racking storage rack is a unique style of structural pallet rack that is the cornerstone of Rack Builder’s business.

Our Selective Push Back Racking is a dynamic storage solution that's reshaping the way businesses manage their inventory.

Advantages of Push Back Racking Systems:

  1. High-Density Storage with Selective Accessibility: Push Back Racking is the perfect blend of high-density storage and selective accessibility. It enables you to store a large volume of products while still maintaining individual access to each pallet. This means you can efficiently manage your inventory without compromising on accessibility.
  2. Vertical Space Utilization: If you're dealing with limited horizontal space in your warehouse, push back racks can be a lifesaver. These racks are engineered to maximize vertical storage, allowing you to make the most of your available space.
  3. Efficient FIFO Inventory Management: For businesses handling perishable goods or products with expiration dates, the First-In-First-Out (FIFO) inventory management system is essential. Push Back Racking is ideally suited for FIFO, ensuring that older stock is accessed first, reducing the risk of product spoilage or obsolescence.
  4. Streamlined Handling: With push back racks, you load and unload pallets from the same aisle, eliminating the need for long-distance forklift travel. This streamlined approach saves time and minimizes the risk of accidents in bustling warehouse environments.
  5. Tailored to Your Needs: Selective push back racks are highly adaptable and can be customized to meet your unique storage requirements. Whether you're dealing with varying pallet sizes, different product weights, or other specific needs, these racks can be designed to suit your inventory perfectly.
  6. Optimal Space Utilization: By eliminating the need for multiple access aisles, push back racks can significantly increase your storage capacity compared to traditional selective racks. This allows you to make the most efficient use of your available space.
  7. Cost-Efficient Solution: Despite their many advantages, push back racks often offer a cost-effective solution for high-density storage. The initial investment can yield substantial long-term savings through improved storage efficiency and reduced labor costs.
  8. Enhanced Safety: Safety is a top priority in any warehouse operation. Push back racks are equipped with safety features like locking mechanisms and secure pallet placement, reducing the risk of accidents and product damage.
  9. Low Maintenance: Selective push back racks are known for their durability and minimal maintenance requirements. This translates to fewer disruptions due to repairs and more uptime for your warehouse operations.

Selective Push Back Racking presents a winning combination of high-density storage, efficient inventory management, adaptability, and cost-efficiency. Whether you run a distribution center, manufacturing facility, or retail operation, this racking system can optimize your storage space, enhance inventory control, and elevate overall operational efficiency.

Pallet Condition & RBI Storage Solutions

For push-back and drive-in storage systems, pallet condition is an important aspect of design that should always be evaluated extensively. Poor condition pallets for either rack system can result in less than desirable performance or outright failure if not evaluated carefully.

Additional steps can be taken to allow poorly-conditioned pallets to still function on these systems. A wide range of pallet rack design solutions can be implemented:

  • Additional horizontal cart supports can be added to increase the rigidity of the carts and prevent bowing in weak pallets.
  • The use of a stationary cart in the first pallet position rather than resting directly on rails.
  • Safety bars can be added between rails to prevent pallets from falling through levels.
  • Carts can feature a welded or wire deck surface to allow for a wide range of pallet conditions to be stored.

The Push-Back & Drive-In Hybrid Rack

A popular way to maximize inventory storage within push-back systems is to raise the first beam level up high and allow fork trucks to drive into the rack system and deposit pallets on the floor. This is especially helpful in situations where a double stack of material that would be rapidly turned over is in play. However, as fork trucks are driving into this hybrid system, there is a greater risk of rack-truck interaction. RBI negates some of this possible damage by providing pallet rack accessory options such as in-line truss rub rails, floor-mounted angles, or rack-mounted guides.
