HOW PUSH BACK RACKING WORKS
While often considered complex because of the multiple carts and
the highly engineered nesting manner, the Push Back racking system has
many benefits. Simple applications that are 2-3 pallets
deep operate in the same manner as a 6-deep installation. The
carts nest on top of each other and slide back one pallet position
when a new pallet is added. Each pallet has its own cart
and the last pallet will simply rest on rails running the depth
of the bay. When the front pallet is removed, the next pallet
slides forward to the picking position. Push Back provides
all of the density of a drive-in system without having to drive
into the rack. This feature helps maintain the pallet rack
system and holds damage to a minimum.
Because carts nest together and flow forward, they use minimal
vertical space within the bay. Even a 6-deep Push Back cart
stack uses only 6-1/4" vertical bay height. This low profile
leaves plenty of storage area for pallets. Special carts
can be developed for unstable or damaged pallets. Color
coded carts tell the operator how many pallets are in the bay when
it is densely loaded.
It may only seem complex as Push Back Racking is a very versatile and automatically
functioning system engineered before it arrives on your site. |
