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.
