Pallets once revolutionized warehousing, allowing workers to store lots of stock on a single pallet in a safe and secure manner. Unfortunately, a fully loaded pallet also presents storage problems due to their weight and size. If you’d like to maximize the efficiency of your pallet storage practices, why not use push back racking?

A push back rack system from Simply Rack will completely transform your loading processes, providing up to double or even triple the storage density compared to standard pallet rack storage systems and greatly improving the loading and unloading speeds of your forklift drivers. If your facility handles palletized goods, investing in a new warehouse push back system increases your available capacity and as a result, improves profitability and efficiency.

What is a push back rack?

A warehouse push back rack is a pallet loading system that uses gravity-fed carts which sit atop inclined steel rails. A push back rack allows you to store pallets between two to six deep on each side of an aisle, which means you’ll enjoy higher storage density when compared to traditional pallet storage methods. The system is gravity-fed, which provides massive improvements to your loading and unloading processes. To find out how, it’s important to understand how push back racks work.

How do push back racks work?

New and used push back racks redefine how your loading process works. With a push back rack, a pair of inclined rails sit below nesting carts, which move freely due to gravity. Pallets are loaded onto these sliding carts. In practice, this means that once the first pallet is loaded, the loader can simply push back the initial pallet and easily load the second. Once this is done, the driver can then repeat the process with the third pallet and so on, up to a limit of six pallets.

When it is time to remove the pallets, this process is reversed: once the first pallet is removed, the others easily slide into the first pallet’s place to be easily removed – which means all pallets can be unloaded in quick succession. This greatly improves the loading and unloading process within your warehouse when compared to a standard pallet storage system.

Advantages over traditional pallet systems

In brief, push back rack systems offer the following distinct advantages: they maximize the use of available space, they ensure very little vertical height space is wasted and each level can be used to store a different product range.

Push back racks save time and maximize storage space

Because push back rack systems allow faster loading and unloading when compared to standard drive-in racks, they obviously increase the speed at which pallets can be loaded and unloaded. In addition, each level of a rack can store a completely different product and items can be quickly rotated based on sell-by dates or other factors to improve stock rotation in a “first in, last out” system.  As part of this easier loading process, forklift workers benefit from a simpler work system and can, therefore, speed up their own productivity. Due to the fact the racks are gravity-fed, the systems will also function perfectly in cold storage or freezers.

Finally, you can free up storage space by installing push back rack systems. This increased floor space also improves safety within your warehouse environment – keeping workers safe as well as improving your overall productivity and minimizing clutter.

Industries that could benefit from push back racks

The improvement to loading and unloading time offered by push back racking has obvious benefits for industries that prioritize speed such as retail, food distribution, manufacturing, automotive and pharmaceutical. However, all businesses that use a warehouse space can benefit from the productivity gains on offer – and can also benefit from maximizing their available vertical space.

Wow, I have been giving a lot of 5 start reviews as of late, but I want to give recognition when I receive great service. Simply Racks had a bottom line price and it was very fair... Not the cheapest in the country, but certainly good value, and located so close I was able to get the pallet racks I needed the same day and Jennifer was very knowledgable about the setup of the racks, specific even to my industry. Super friendly, no haggle just quality product at a more than fair price. Friendly and professional to boot. I purchased the racks a while back... Yesterday I got a followup email making sure that I was satisfied, and if I had any questions that they were happy to assist. In my mind that type of customer service is rare, so I decided to leave a review. Kudos! P.S. There was no solicitation for a review of any kind in the followup email, I just felt compelled to share. 🙂

Simply Rack is exceptional, and Tracy's assistance was invaluable. As someone unfamiliar with warehouse structures, I found myself setting up a mid-size warehouse in Georgetown without much knowledge. Tracy guided me through configuring racks that adhered to fire inspection policies in the Georgetown area, all while offering the best price available. What truly stood out was Tracy's flexibility. Despite being in a rush for installation, she rearranged their schedule to accommodate mine, resulting in the installation being completed two days ahead of schedule. The products themselves are impressively sturdy, and the installation technicians were not only proficient but also very friendly. I wholeheartedly recommend Simply Rack to anyone in need of quality racks. Tracy and the team provide exemplary service and products that exceed expectations

Had to write a quick note about our experience with Simply Rack & Warehouse Equipment, Inc. We needed a racking system in our warehouse so I googled "warehouse racking". After a lot of review and phone calls, we requested a meeting with Tracy at Simply Rack. She came to assess our warehouse very shortly after our call (I think within 48 hours?) , and had a proposal to me a couple days after her visit. The proposal was thoughtful, insightful and took into consideration needs that we knew we had, and needs we didn't know we had. Tracy comes with a lot of experience which served us well. From the initial contact to the installation - we couldn't be happier with our experience with Simply Rack & Warehouse Equipment.
