What is push back pallet racking?

Push-back pallet racking is also known as press-in shelving - it is a multi-layer dolly overlapping between the front and rear beams, and the stacked goods are placed on the dolly and pushed in from the outside, after which the stored goods will push the original goods inside.

Features of push back pallet racking

How push-back racking works？

Pallet storage steps: The forklift will store the first pallet on the cart at the entrance of the rack, the cart position remains stationary at this time. The forklift truck brings in the second pallet and uses the second pallet to push the first pallet deeper into the aisle until the entrance position is empty, and then stores the second pallet at the entrance. The following steps are the same as above, so that the pallets in the aisle are pushed to the back step by step. 

Pallet taking out step: After the forklift takes away the pallet at the entrance position, the pallets in the aisle will slide down to the entrance by the effect of gravity.
