PUSH BACK RACK
Push Back rack systems are
available in structural or roll-formed frames. The systems work by placing pallet loads on a series of
nesting carts fed forward by gravity on rigid structural steel
rails. As a pallet is loaded from the front, it pushes the
pallet behind it back one position. When unloading, the
front pallet is removed 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 offers more versatile storage
than Drive-In rack because each lane flows independently and vertical
storage operates separately from lanes below. Multiple pick
facings for a variety of SKUs can be stored and retrieved without
disturbing other product above or below in a single-lane or double-lane
format.
UNARCO's Push Back solution is extremely low profile.
This allows you to store up to five pallets deep and still
create more stocking space and clearance between levels.
Flow is achieved by gravity moving the carts along the inclined
rails which are adjustable vertically to control pitch. Welded
structural steel carts make installation easy and four fully-sealed
and lubricated wheels per cart provide years of durable flow.
Each cart can be designed to hold up to 3,000 lbs.
Lift truck drivers never enter the rack. The first
pallet rests on the top cart and the second pallet pushes that
pallet back to rest on the second cart.
Additional pallets will
rest on the nested carts below and the final pallet rests on the
sturdy structural steel rails. As pallets are removed, each
position behind flows forward gently until all product is
finally brought to rest by rubber bumpers at the front of the
system.UNARCO can help design carts
for special non-standard pallet support or products with typically
weak pallets.
