FAQ

Structural Push Back Racking | FIFO/LIFO Storage Solution | Warehouse Space Optimization

The Push Back Pallet Racking System is a high-density storage solution designed for warehouses that require efficient space utilization, fast pallet access, and reduced aisle consumption.

It is widely used in food & beverage distribution, cold storage, logistics centers, and manufacturing warehouses where SKU variety and storage density are both critical.

How Push Back Racking System Works

Push back racking operates on a last-in, first-out (LIFO) principle.

Pallets are stored on nested carts that sit on inclined rails. When a new pallet is loaded, it pushes previous pallets backward into the lane. When unloading, gravity moves the next pallet automatically to the picking position.

Engineering Note: The system reduces forklift travel distance and eliminates deep lane driving required in drive-in racks.

Technical Specifications

Pallet Depth: 2–6 pallets per lane
Load Capacity: 500–1500 kg per pallet (customizable)
Structure Type: Structural steel frame / Roll-formed optional
Operation Mode: LIFO (Last In First Out)
Forklift Requirement: Standard counterbalance forklift

Push Back vs Other Racking Systems

System Type	Storage Density	Accessibility	Best Use Case
Selective Racking	Low	Very High	Fast moving SKU
Drive-In Racking	Very High	Low	Bulk storage
Push Back Racking	High	Medium	Medium turnover inventory

Key Advantages

✔ Maximizes warehouse storage density without increasing aisle space

✔ Independent lane access improves operational flexibility

✔ Reduces forklift travel time and improves efficiency

✔ Suitable for multiple SKUs and medium turnover goods

✔ Reduces product damage compared to drive-in systems

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the main advantage of push back racking?
It provides high-density storage while maintaining better accessibility compared to drive-in systems.

Q2: How many pallets deep can push back racking store?
Typically 2 to 6 pallets deep depending on warehouse layout and product weight.

Q3: Is push back racking FIFO or LIFO?
It operates on a LIFO (Last In First Out) principle.

Q4: What industries use push back racking?
Food & beverage, cold storage, logistics, manufacturing, and FMCG distribution centers.

Push Back Racking Design Factors

The performance of a push back pallet racking system depends on several engineering and warehouse design factors. Proper configuration ensures safety, stability, and optimal storage efficiency.

Pallet size and type: Standardized pallets improve cart movement stability and system safety.
Load weight distribution: Heavier loads require reinforced rail and cart structures.
Aisle width: Must be designed based on forklift turning radius and operational flow.
Rack depth configuration: 2–6 pallet depths depending on SKU turnover rate.
Warehouse temperature: Cold storage requires special lubrication and steel treatment.

How to Choose the Right Push Back Racking System

Selecting the correct push back racking solution depends on your warehouse operation model and inventory flow strategy.

Step 1: Identify pallet dimensions and weight

Step 2: Define SKU turnover speed (fast / medium / slow)

Step 3: Confirm storage density requirement

Step 4: Evaluate forklift type and aisle constraints

For medium-turnover goods, push back racking is often the most efficient solution between selective and drive-in systems.

Engineering and Safety Considerations

Push back racking systems require precise engineering to ensure safe operation under dynamic load conditions.

Structural steel frame must withstand dynamic pallet movement forces
Rail inclination angle must ensure controlled gravity flow
Cart system must support repeated impact loads during loading operations
Regular inspection is required to ensure wheel and rail integrity

Proper installation and maintenance significantly reduce warehouse accident risk and extend system lifespan.
