Push Back Pallet Racking System Specification

1. System Overview

Push back pallet racking is a high-density storage solution designed for Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) inventory management. It utilizes inclined rails and nested carts to allow pallets to be stored multiple deep, improving storage capacity and accessibility.

2. Structural Components

Frames: Heavy-duty upright frames made of roll-formed or structural steel.

Beams: Load-bearing horizontal beams supporting the rails and carts.

Rails: Inclined tracks guiding the nested carts for smooth pallet movement.

Carts: Nested wheeled carriers that hold pallets and roll on the rails.

Bracing: Cross and horizontal bracing for structural stability.

Backstops: Prevent pallets from pushing too far.

3. Load Capacities

Per Bay: Typically 2 to 6 pallets deep, up to 5 levels high.

Per Pallet Position: 1,500 to 3,000 lbs per pallet (varies based on design).

Total System Capacity: Configurable based on warehouse space and load requirements.

4. Dimensions & Clearances

Standard Bay Width: 96" to 108" (customizable).

Frame Heights: 8' to 40' (depending on storage needs).

Aisle Width: Typically 9' to 12' (varies by forklift type).

Pallet Sizes: Standard 48" x 40" pallets, with other sizes available upon request.

5. Material & Coating

Steel Type: Structural steel or roll-formed steel.

Finish: Powder-coated or galvanized for corrosion resistance.

6. Safety Features

Cart Safety Locks: Prevent accidental dislodgment.

Pallet Backstops: Minimize push-through risks.

Forklift Clearance Guides: Ensure proper pallet alignment.

Load Beams with Safety Clips: Enhance stability under heavy loads.

7. Installation & Maintenance

Installation: Requires professional setup with anchor bolts and leveling.

Maintenance: Regular inspections of rails, carts, and beams for wear and damage.
