Push-Back Racking

In a cold storage warehouse storing large volumes of the same beverage product, Push Back Racking offers the perfect balance between storage density and fast access. Designed for Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) inventory flow, push back systems allow forklifts to load pallets onto nested carts that automatically roll forward as pallets are removed. This setup enables warehouses to store multiple pallets deep while still maintaining faster pick times than drive-in racking, which is ideal for high-volume, single-SKU beverage storage or bulk frozen items that don’t require strict rotation.

Push back racking maximizes cubic space inside temperature-controlled environments, reducing the number of aisles needed and ultimately lowering energy costs per pallet. It’s also easier to operate in cold conditions than drive-in systems, since forklifts don’t need to enter the racking structure. For beverage distributors, frozen food suppliers, or any facility storing large quantities of the same product, push back racking delivers dense storage with operational speed, all while withstanding the demands of cold and heavy-duty environments.
