<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Push back racking is a high density pallet storage system that stores 2 to 5 pallets deep in each lane on carts riding inclined rails. The forklift works only from the front aisle. Each new pallet pushes the earlier pallets back, and when the front pallet is removed, gravity rolls the next one forward. It gives warehouses density without the forklift entering the rack. FunYa engineers every system to your pallet size and loads.<\/span><\/p>\n Key benefits:<\/b><\/p>\n Push back racking is a dynamic pallet storage system in which pallets rest on nested carts that roll along rails set at a slight incline. The forklift loads from the front aisle only. The first pallet goes onto the top cart, the second pallet pushes that cart back up the incline, and the process repeats until the lane is full. When the front pallet is picked, gravity pulls the remaining carts forward so the next pallet presents itself at the pick face.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The last pallet stored is always the first one retrieved, which makes push back racking a LIFO system: last in, first out. Our<\/span> push back racking category<\/span><\/a> shows the range FunYa builds.<\/span><\/p>\n Loading starts at the aisle. The forklift sets the first pallet on the front cart. The next pallet is driven against the first one and pushes the whole nested cart train one position deeper. Each additional pallet pushes the train further back until the lane holds its full depth. Unloading reverses the flow: the forklift takes the front pallet, the carts roll forward on the incline, and the next pallet arrives at the aisle ready for picking.<\/span><\/p>\n Each lane holds one rail pair per level, inclined about 3 degrees toward the aisle. The carts nest inside each other like telescoping frames, each riding on steel wheels. The top cart carries the front pallet position, and every cart behind it carries one deeper position.<\/span><\/p>\n The cart train is the heart of the system. Each cart is a welded steel frame on wheels, sized to carry one pallet, and the carts nest so the whole train collapses to the front of the lane when empty. See the mechanism on our<\/span> push back pallet racking product page<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Structural tube rails give a clean enclosed running surface that sheds debris. I beam rails suit heavier pallet loads with their deep section. C channel rails offer an economical option for lighter duty lanes.<\/span><\/p>\n Unlike drive in racking, where deep lanes bury pallets behind each other, push back racking gives every lane its own pick face at the aisle.<\/span><\/p>\n Every putaway and every pick happens from the front aisle. Forklifts never enter the structure, which removes the most common cause of rack damage in deep lane systems. Aisles stay clear and operators work faster because every pallet comes to them.<\/span><\/p>\n Push back racking earns its place in freezers. High density shrinks the refrigerated footprint. The single aisle layout limits door openings and keeps forklift traffic out of the cold zone. For freezer builds FunYa specifies hot dip galvanized finishes against condensation and confirms low temperature steel with the engineering team.<\/span><\/p>\n Food and beverage distribution.<\/b> Dated stock with medium SKU counts fits the LIFO flow well.<\/span><\/p>\n \u0425\u0430\u043b\u043e\u0434\u043d\u044b\u044f \u0441\u043a\u043b\u0430\u0434\u044b \u0456 \u043c\u0430\u0440\u0430\u0437\u0456\u043b\u044c\u043d\u044b\u044f \u043a\u0430\u043c\u0435\u0440\u044b.<\/b> Density cuts refrigerated volume, and the gravity mechanism works reliably at low temperatures with no powered parts to fail.<\/span><\/p>\n Retail distribution centers.<\/b><\/p>\n \u0412\u044b\u0442\u0432\u043e\u0440\u0447\u0430\u0441\u0446\u044c \u0431\u0443\u0444\u0435\u0440\u043d\u0430\u0433\u0430 \u0437\u0430\u0445\u043e\u045e\u0432\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f.<\/b> Work in progress and raw materials sit close to the line in deep lanes, with forklifts cycling from a single aisle.<\/span><\/p>\n 3PL and contract logistics.<\/b><\/p>\n Building materials and hardware.<\/b><\/p>\n\n
