In Push Back Racking, A pallet is loaded from the front side; it drives the pallet behindhand it back one position. The front pallet is removed when unloading and the rear pallets automatically come forward to the front picking position.
This allows for easily accessible Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) inventory management. Operators can store product from 2-5 pallets deep, with front-only loading from a single aisle.
Push Back Rack offers more multipurpose storage than Drive-In racking as each lane flows self-sufficiently and vertical storage operates separately from lanes below.
Advantages:
- The best possible use is made of the space available.
- Space wasted is very slight.
- Easier filing and recovery.
- Respectively level can be used to store an altered SKU.
