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.
