“It was a great decision to hire Warehouse Equipment for the new racking project in CVG, Ohio. Chad and his team provided an excellent service, and they even improve the delivery and installation dates, allowing the client to load the space earlier than expected. I will recommend using them for warehouse and racking projects.”

How Push Back Racking Systems Work in Chicago Warehouses
Our push back racking system operates on a simple yet ingenious principle: gravity-assisted wheeled carts
- Loading Process: Insert the first pallet onto a cart at the front bay. As you add subsequent pallets, each new one pushes the previous carts deeper into the rack lanes—up to 6-10 pallets deep per lane.
- Cart Design: Heavy-duty steel carts with nylon or steel wheels roll smoothly on inclined rails, ensuring even weight distribution and minimal friction.
- Retrieval Process: When unloading, remove the front pallet, and gravity pulls the next cart forward automatically. No manual pushing required, reducing labor and forklift time.
- Safety Features: Built-in stops, load dividers, and optional sensors prevent cart runaway, supporting heavy duty loads.
This LIFO flow makes pushback pallet racking ideal for fast-moving SKUs where access to the newest stock is key.
90% more storage than standard selective racks
