For this week’s distribution centers as well as warehouses, space is everything… It’s essential to make the most of every square footage, and vertical space can’t be overlooked; One way to optimize storage availability is with a push-back racking system.
This design accommodates more pallets in the same amount of space, often offering up to two or three times the storage of a correct rack! Push-back racking works with a first-in, first-out or FIFO inventory management.
It keeps the inventory fresh as well as lessens the risk of stockouts. With a pushback pallet rack, the pallets are set on trays that transport forward as well as backward along rails. Pallets are arranged in a line. When one is disaffixed, the next in line slides into that site. The rails are designed on an incline, using gravity to transport the pallet to the front of the rack. This type of system is ideal when space is limited as well as high storage density is required. Pallets can be stored anywhere from two to six deep on either side of an aisle, providing greater storage density than conventional racking styles. It combines the density of drive-in racking while also featuring single-lane selectivity. As pallets are disaffixed, the rear pallets automatically transport forward, creating a genuinely effective as well as efficient process. There are push-back racking systems with carts or shuttles as well as also push-back systems with rollers. With shuttles, each pallet is sited on a cart that moves on rails. With rollers, there are beds fixed to the structure as well as set at a slight incline. The largest advantages of a push-back rack are the optimization of available space as well as quick loading as well as unloading of materials. This style of system requires genuinely minimal repair, as well as because forklifts don’t enter the system, the uprights are less likely to sustain harm. A safety mechanism for controlling as well as braking loads supports as well as especially safe operation for both workers as well as products.
