Push Back Pallet Rack
Push Back Pallet Rack
Push back pallet rack is designed to multiple layers trolley connected with the front and the rear beam. The pallet or pallet box is put on the trolley from the outside, and the subsequent pallet will push the prior one inside.
Push Back Pallet Rack is a high-density pallet storage system designed for efficient warehouse space utilization and fast forklift access. It is ideal for storing large quantities of the same SKU with reduced aisle requirements, making it widely used in modern logistics and industrial storage systems.
This push back racking system operates on a FILO (First-In-Last-Out) principle and allows storage depths of 2 to 5 pallets per lane. Each pallet is placed on a nested trolley system that runs on inclined rails. When a new pallet is loaded, it pushes the previous pallet inward automatically, enabling compact and efficient storage.
How Push Back Pallet Racking Works
The system is built with multiple nested trolleys connected by front and rear beams. Pallets are loaded from a single aisle using a forklift and placed onto the front trolley. Each subsequent pallet pushes the previous one deeper into the rack. When unloading, the inner trolley automatically slides forward along the sloped rail system, allowing easy access from the same aisle.
Key Features of Push Back Pallet Rack
- High-density storage with reduced aisle space requirements
- FILO (First-In-Last-Out) inventory management system
- Supports 2–5 pallet depths per lane
- Single-side loading and unloading operation
- Compatible with standard forklift handling
- Gravity-based trolley movement on inclined rails
- Suitable for bulk storage of the same SKU
- Strong steel structure for industrial applications
Advantages of Push Back Racking System
- Maximizes warehouse storage density
- Reduces forklift travel time and aisle usage
- Improves storage efficiency for bulk goods
- Ideal for medium turnover inventory
- Safer and more controlled pallet handling
Applications
Push back pallet racking is widely used in cold storage, beverage industry, pharmaceuticals, automotive parts, manufacturing, and distribution centers where high-volume and low-SKU storage is required.
It is especially suitable for warehouses requiring efficient space utilization and controlled inventory rotation under FILO logic.
