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?

Barely any. Loading is closer to selective racking than to drive-in - square up in the aisle, set the pallet, let the cart take it. Most crews are comfortable within a shift.

What load capacities are available?

Cart and rail assemblies are commonly rated 2,500 to 4,000 lb per pallet, with heavier configurations available. We specify to your heaviest pallet with margin and hand over ratings for the finished lane.

Our dock is tight and we cannot receive a full truckload at once. Does that change anything?

It changes the delivery plan, not the design. We stage material in smaller drops timed to your receiving hours, and sequence installation zone by zone so a tight dock does not hold up the schedule.

Can we add more lanes or positions later without redoing the whole system?

That is the point of designing it as a layout rather than a one-off order. We keep the drawing on file, so adding a bay, a lane, or a run next year starts from where the system already is instead of from scratch.

If your Blue Ash operation is dealing with a 3PL and manufacturing operation splitting one floor and never having enough of either, that is a storage design problem, not a leasing problem. Pushback Rack is built for exactly that situation — it turns the unused clear height in a Reed Hartman corridor building into working pallet positions instead of aisle.

We size the pushback pallet racking around your pallets, your lift trucks, and the clear height in your Reed Hartman corridor building, factoring in cart and rail assemblies matched to your pallet weight. You get a drawing and a line-item price for the Reed Hartman corridor site, not a rough estimate. Call (513) 957-3017 and we will start a Blue Ash layout.

Why Blue Ash Warehouses Work With Us

Warehouses in and around Kenwood Road business parks tend to be constrained by something specific: a low sprinkler line, tight columns, or a dock that will not take a full truck at once. Those details decide a Blue Ash design, not a standard drawing.

As part of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., we have designed storage for medical and lab supply and professional service parts operators around Kenwood Road business parks since 1997 — enough history that density added without pushing out a building wall rarely surprises us mid-project.

We also keep the Blue Ash pushback rack layout on file, so adding a bay next year or replacing a bent frame does not start from scratch.

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 a Pushback Rack Project Includes

Every Blue Ash pushback rack project begins with the numbers: what you store, how heavy it is, what lifts it, and how tall the usable space is. That Blue Ash conversation happens over the phone and usually takes about fifteen minutes.

Our design team turns that into a CAD layout with pushback rack position counts, load capacity per level, and an itemized quote for the Blue Ash site. Because this system trades on density added without pushing out a building wall, we usually model an alternative configuration on the same footprint, so you weigh positions against picking speed with real numbers rather than a sales pitch.

Common pushback rack items ship from stock, and we stage deliveries to match your Reed Hartman corridor dock. Installation partners set and anchor the system to the Blue Ash drawing, verify it loaded, and tag capacities. Work is sequenced zone by zone so Blue Ash receiving and shipping never stop, and we stay reachable for pushback rack parts, added lanes, and repairs.
