push back pallet rack system
The push back pallet rack system represents a sophisticated storage solution designed to maximize warehouse space utilization while maintaining efficient inventory management. This dynamic storage system operates on a last-in-first-out (LIFO) principle, allowing multiple pallets to be stored deeply in each lane. The system features inclined rails with wheeled carts that enable pallets to move forward automatically when the front pallet is removed. Each storage lane can typically accommodate 2 to 6 pallets deep, with the exact capacity depending on the specific system design. When a forklift places a new pallet, it gently pushes back the existing pallets, causing them to roll up the slightly inclined rail system. When a pallet is retrieved, gravity assists in bringing the remaining pallets forward to the picking face. The system's construction includes heavy-duty steel components, precision-engineered cart mechanisms, and safety features such as pallet stops and rail guides. This storage solution is particularly valuable in cold storage facilities, distribution centers, and warehouses handling time-sensitive inventory. The push back system's design allows for excellent selectivity while maintaining high storage density, making it an ideal choice for operations managing multiple SKUs with moderate turnover rates.
