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.

How quickly can you get pushback rack into a Erlanger warehouse?

Standard components generally ship within a few days of an approved order, and complete projects — layout, steel, and installation — typically run one to four weeks depending on size. If you have a hard date, say so early and we will build the schedule backward from it.

What does a pushback rack project in Erlanger typically cost per pallet position?

It depends on beam capacity, height, and how deep you store, which is why the quote is itemized and the layout shows a position count. Comparing cost per position across two configurations on your own floor plan is the only honest way to answer it.

Medium-velocity pallets taking up more floor than their turn rate justifies shows up constantly in the airport freight corridor facilities. Adding push back rack systems is how a Erlanger operation gets capacity back without paying for square footage it already has.

With density added without pushing out a building wall on the table, the air cargo support operations we work with near Commonwealth Avenue usually want cost per pallet position, not a lump sum. That is what the pushback rack layout and itemized quote for a Commonwealth Avenue building show. Call (513) 957-3017 to start one for Erlanger.

Why Erlanger Warehouses Work With Us

The industrial stock near the Dolwick Drive industrial area ranges from older infill space to newer construction, and each one limits a racking plan differently. Height, columns, and floor condition all move the answer in Erlanger.

Pushback Rack suits Erlanger buildings for one reason — fewer aisles maintained for the same forklift fleet — which matters more here than in a newer big-box facility built around one uniform layout. We walk through that fit during a free design consult before you commit to steel for Erlanger.

And you deal with one team throughout — pushback rack layout, pricing, delivery windows into the Dolwick Drive industrial area, installation scheduling, and parts after the fact. Nothing about the Erlanger job gets handed to a call center.

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

Before pushback rack is priced for a Commonwealth Avenue site, we collect the constraints: usable height, column grid, aisle widths your lifts need, and the pallet mix your air cargo support volume actually moves.

Next comes the pushback rack layout itself — every position counted, every level rated, and the Erlanger quote itemized by frame, beam, deck, and accessory. Because fewer aisles maintained for the same forklift fleet changes the math, a second configuration on the same floor plan usually comes with it for comparison.

Standard pushback rack components ship quickly, and delivery gets scheduled around your Erlanger receiving hours rather than dumped in one load. Installation partners anchor, plumb, align, and capacity-tag the finished pushback rack, phased by zone so Erlanger shipping keeps running. Afterward your Erlanger team has a documented layout to work from and a local source for beams, decking, and guarding.
