Racking solutions are essential for your warehouse business. However, the choice of system you pick depends on your needs. If you are looking for extra space and density, push-back racking might be the best. It permits 2-6 pallets deep to be kept on either sides of corridors. So, what are the reasons you should use this type of racking?
- Improves operations
This type of racking allows the removal of corridors, increasing productivity and speeding up operations. During operation, the forklift can lift pallets off and reverses slowly, and the next pallet gets pushed forward using gravity. The Process can be done up to 6 pallets deep, eliminating the need for forklift corridors. In addition, the ability to reach pallets easily increases operation efficiency.
- Offers high selectivity
The push-back racking system offers both selectivity and storage density. Installation of this system allows storage of pallets on both sides of an aisle and direct access to pallet positions. The system uses the last in, first out inventory. Therefore before implementation, you have to consider SKU types and inventory diversity. The biggest flex of using this system is you can configure and customize the warehouse as per your preference.
- Provides high-density storage
As mentioned, thepush back racking system has 2-6 deep pallet positions. It allows storage on both sides of the aisle, offering higher density than other racking systems. Through this pallet racking technique, a warehouse can get up to 25-55% more storage space meaning more goods can be stored. It’s an excellent solution, especially if your warehouse is small.
Push-back racking is a racking system with great benefits. Through this system, you can achieve high-density storage and high selectivity and also help improve operations increasing profits. This racking solution is great for small warehouses to help manage floor space and increase productivity.
