How deep can a pushback lane go?

Two to six pallets deep is the practical range. Lanes beyond four deep only pay off if you consistently hold that many pallets per SKU - we size lane depth from your inventory profile, not by maxing out the rail.

How does push back racking compare to drive-in rack?

Both store deep from one face. With pushback the forklift stays in the aisle and gravity does the work, which is faster and gentler on the structure. Drive-in goes deeper and costs less per position, but the driver has to enter the lane to place and pull loads.

Will my drivers need retraining?

Operators need training for the installed system. Loading is closer to selective racking than to drive-in - square up in the aisle, set the pallet, let the cart take it. Training and manufacturer operating guidance are reviewed before the lanes enter service.

A new Edison tenant at Raritan Center can receive multiple pallets of each electronics or consumer-goods SKU before its reserve storage plan has been finalized.

Pushback Rack planning starts with that Edison constraint, not a drawing borrowed from another building. Decide how many pallets belong in each lane before ordering, with selective access retained for the wider SKU mix. We compare capacity, access, and the way your inventory moves before recommending a configuration. Send your building dimensions and load details for a free warehouse consultation. You receive a layout and itemized pricing before deciding what to order or move.

Why Edison Warehouses Work With Us

Decide how many pallets belong in each lane before ordering, with selective access retained for the wider SKU mix. Around Raritan Center, one of the largest industrial parks on the East Coast, the practical question is how storage will work alongside receiving, dispatch, and the space reserved for people and production. Edison operations dealing with third-party logistics need a plan that reflects their actual product mix rather than a generic rack count. We ask about the peak week as well as normal inventory so the drawing does not depend on an unusually quiet day.

For pushback rack, the useful comparison is what changes at the working face: lanes two to six pallets deep served from a single aisle. A building in Raritan Center may have a different column grid, usable height, or loading approach from the next address. Those measurements belong in the scope before materials are priced.

Newark Pallet Rack is a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co.. You have a single contact for layout revisions, the itemized scope, delivery planning, and installation coordination with installation partners. We explain the tradeoffs, identify information still needed, and keep the Edison drawing available for later expansion or replacement components. The aim is a storage plan your team can use, with clear responsibilities rather than assumptions.

How Pushback Rack Works

Two to six pallets deep from one aisle, without giving up much reach.

Loading from the aisle

The driver sets the first pallet on the front cart. Each pallet added after that pushes the cart train deeper into the lane, so one aisle handles the whole depth.

Carts nested on rails

Steel carts with nylon or steel wheels ride inclined rails, each nesting under the one ahead of it - that nesting is what makes multi-deep storage possible from a single face.

Retrieval by gravity

Pull the front pallet and the next cart rolls forward on the incline to the pick face. No driving into the lane, no repositioning pallets by hand.

Last in, first out

Each lane runs LIFO. That suits fast-turning product and any operation managing rotation by lane rather than by individual pallet date.

What Your Pushback Rack Project Includes

Pushback layouts are built around the pallet, not the building. We start by confirming pallet type, footprint, overhang, and load weight, because cart spacing and rail incline follow that profile rather than a generic 48x40 assumption.

Next we set lane depth. Deeper lanes store more, but only pay off if you actually carry that many pallets per SKU - so we compare a two-deep and a four-deep version of the same footprint and show what each does to total positions and to how many pick faces you're left with.

The quote covers frames, beams, rails, carts, and guarding, itemized so you can see exactly what the added density costs per position - the number that matters more than the sticker price. Rails and carts are set and tested at installation, and cart travel is verified in every lane before handover.

You end up with a CAD drawing, capacity ratings, a system drivers pick up in a shift, and a contact for replacement carts and wheels down the road.

Decide how many pallets belong in each lane before ordering, with selective access retained for the wider SKU mix. For the Edison site near Raritan Center, one of the largest industrial parks on the East Coast, we confirm receiving access and where components can be staged before agreeing on delivery windows. The finished drawing identifies the storage zones, access requirements, and capacities for the proposed arrangement. Product-specific components and testing are included in the scope rather than assumed to be interchangeable with ordinary pallet rack. You receive a written quote and a schedule based on the approved scope and confirmed availability, not an unqualified completion promise.
