Push Back Racking
Cart-based deep-lane pallet storage — load and pick from a single aisle, with pallets rolling forward automatically as the front load is removed.
Push Back Racking
Push-Back Racking is a high-density LIFO pallet storage system that uses nested carts on slightly inclined rails. Pallets are loaded from a single aisle and pushed back on the carts as new pallets arrive. When a front pallet is removed, gravity rolls the next pallet forward to the pick face — no forklift enters the rack, no second aisle is needed.
- Load and pick from a single aisle — no drive-in access required.
- Deep-lane storage 2–6 pallets deep on inclined rail carts.
- Automatic pallet presentation to the pick face.
- Ideal for homogeneous SKUs held in medium-to-large quantities.
- Safer than drive-in — forklift never enters the rack.
Optimise Your Storage from a Single Aisle
Push-Back Racking gives you a large share of the density of drive-in racking without the forklift entering the rack. That means fewer accidents, less rack damage and faster pallet handling — a strong middle ground between selective and full high-density storage.
What is Pushback Racking
Each storage lane has a set of nested carts riding on inclined rails. Loading a pallet onto the front cart pushes the previous cart back into the lane. Picking the front pallet allows the next cart to roll gently forward under gravity — always presenting a pallet at the aisle face.
