How Does a Push Back Pallet Racking System Maximize Warehouse Density Without Sacrificing Selectivity?

Our inclined rails are engineered at a gentle 1.5° to 3° slope using precision sealed ball-bearing wheels. As a result, pushing a 1,200 kg pallet requires minimal pushing force from a standard forklift truck. Operators feel smooth, progressive resistance without tire spinning or mast strain.

Unlike pallet flow systems that roll directly over open wheels or small skate rollers, push back systems carry each pallet on a continuous, fully welded structural steel cart. Broken bottom boards cannot jam into rollers or snag on structural beams, allowing pallets to roll out safely for restacking.

Due to the gentle slope, a 4-deep push back lane rises approximately 150 mm to 200 mm from front to back. My Interack engineers incorporate this slight vertical pitch into your beam calculations, ensuring full clearance under building trusses, lighting, and overhead ESFR fire sprinkler systems.

Because My Interack manufactures push back systems using heavy-duty structural steel wheels, sealed precision bearings, and captive welded nested steel carts, mechanical failure rates are under 0.1% over a 10-year lifecycle. Maintenance requires simple visual inspections quarterly and bearing clearance checks annually under our 18000 Series Interservice protocol.

Push back racking reduces forklift collision risk by more than 80% compared to drive-in racking because operators never enter the rack bay. Pallets are deposited and retrieved strictly at the front aisle face, cutting loading and picking cycle times by 30% to 45%.

Yes. Each pallet rests on its own rigid steel nesting cart rather than riding on rollers or narrow beam ledges. This eliminates bottom-board cracking, pallet deflection, and load jamming issues common to gravity roller systems.

Standard push back lane configurations range from 2 to 5 pallets deep. While 6-deep lanes can be manufactured, standard forklift push forces and mast heights make 3 to 4-deep the operational sweet spot for maximum throughput and equipment longevity.

Yes, exceptionally well. In cold rooms down to -30°C, push back cart systems outperform electrical shuttle units because they operate completely mechanically using low-temperature synthetic lubricants, sealed bearings, and gravity without battery performance degradation.

In many scenarios, yes. If the existing upright frames have sufficient depth, steel gauge, and floor slab load capacity, My Interack can engineer custom inclined cart-rail assemblies to bolt directly into your present heavy-duty uprights.
