Push Back Racking Dartmouth, Nova Scotia

Push-back racking has enjoyed rapid growth in popularity recently due to offering similar space savings as drive-in, with typically 3 to 5 times greater selectivity. This growth has been spurred by marketing trends such as rapid increases in the number of SKUs, mass customization, and more rapid product obsolescence.

To load the lane, the first pallet loaded in the lane is loaded onto the top cart. To load the next pallet in the lane, the lift truck operator lines up in front of the first pallet and pushes against it, causing the first pallet to roll back away from the pick face, and exposing the next cart, which the second pallet can be lowered onto, once it’s in position.

Key Benefits

• • Improved selectivity over Drive-In, which Push-Back often replaces.
• • Efficiency vs. Drive-In – trucks do not need to drive into rack loads come to them at the pick face.
• • Less rack. Truck and product damage vs. Drive-In- with no trucks driving inside rack.
