Push Back Pallet Rack

Push-back pallet racking is a high-density storage solution that allows pallets to be stored multiple positions deep while maintaining quick, front-facing access. Using a gravity-fed cart system, it supports efficient LIFO inventory management and high-throughput operations. We design, supply, and install custom push-back systems to increase pallet density, reduce aisle space, and improve overall warehouse efficiency.

Why Choose Push Back Racking?

  • High-density pallet storage

  • Reduces aisle space requirements

  • Ideal for bulk SKU storage

  • LIFO inventory management

  • Improves warehouse space utilization

Why Choose Push-Back Pallet Racking 

Push-back pallet racking is a dynamic storage system that uses nested carts or rollers on inclined rails. When a pallet is loaded, it pushes previously stored pallets back into the lane. As pallets are removed, gravity automatically moves the remaining pallets forward for easy access.

This system increases warehouse storage density compared to selective pallet racking while maintaining efficient pallet access from a single aisle.

Key Features of Push-Back Pallet Racking

  • Stores multiple pallets per lane

  • Maximizes warehouse cubic space

  • Reduces the number of required aisles

  • Faster pallet loading and retrieval

  • Compatible with standard forklifts

  • Available in structural or roll-formed designs

Push-back pallet racking is ideal for operations storing multiple pallets of the same SKU with moderate to high inventory turnover.

Ideal Applications

Push-back pallet racking works best in:

  • Distribution centers

  • Manufacturing warehouses

  • Cold storage facilities

  • Food and beverage storage

  • Third-party logistics (3PL) operations

Engineered Push-Back Pallet Storage Systems

Push-back pallet racking is a high-density warehouse storage system designed to store multiple pallets deep while maintaining fast access to inventory. Using a nested cart and rail system, pallets are loaded from the front and automatically move forward as pallets are removed, making push-back rack ideal for LIFO inventory management and high-throughput operations.

We engineer and install push-back pallet racking systems from leading manufacturers including Speedrack Products Group, Ridg-U-Rak, and Interlake Mecalux to meet specific load requirements and warehouse layouts.

From structural analysis and AutoCAD layout design to project coordination and professional installation, we deliver complete push-back storage solutions that increase pallet density, reduce aisle space, and improve overall warehouse efficiency.

F.A.Q.

Common questions about push back pallet racking, cost, installation, and warehouse applications.

Ask A Question
What is push back pallet racking used for?

Push back pallet racking is used for high-density warehouse storage where multiple pallets of the same SKU are stored in a single lane. It is ideal for bulk storage and LIFO inventory management.

How does push back pallet racking work?

Push-back racking uses nested carts or rollers on inclined rails. When a pallet is loaded, it pushes existing pallets back. As pallets are removed, gravity moves the remaining pallets forward for easy access.

What are the benefits of push back pallet racking?

Push back pallet racking increases storage density, reduces aisle space, improves picking efficiency, and maximizes warehouse storage capacity compared to selective pallet racking.

Is push back pallet racking safe?

Yes. When properly engineered and installed, push-back pallet racking systems are safe and reliable. Regular rack inspections and proper load ratings help maintain OSHA compliance and structural safety.

How much does push back pallet racking cost?

Costs vary based on rack height, lane depth, load capacity, and installation requirements. While push back racking typically costs more than selective systems, the increased storage density often reduces overall warehouse space costs.
