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 Fairfield 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.

Do you handle permits or engineering paperwork for the rack?

We provide the layout drawing, load ratings, and capacity tags for each level, and can supply manufacturer documentation your insurer or local authority may ask for. Anything requiring a stamped submittal we coordinate through the manufacturer.

If your Fairfield 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 Route 4 industrial corridor building into working pallet positions instead of aisle.

We size the pushback rack around your pallets, your lift trucks, and the clear height in your Route 4 industrial corridor building, factoring in lanes two to six pallets deep served from a single aisle. You get a drawing and a line-item price for the Route 4 industrial corridor site, not a rough estimate. Call (513) 957-3017 and we will start a Fairfield layout.

Why Fairfield Warehouses Work With Us

Warehouses in and around Symmes Road 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 Fairfield design, not a standard drawing.

As part of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., we have designed storage for metal fabrication and automotive suppliers operators around Symmes Road since 1997 — enough history that cart and rail assemblies matched to your pallet weight rarely surprises us mid-project.

We also keep the Fairfield 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 Fairfield 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 Fairfield 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 Fairfield site. Because this system trades on cart and rail assemblies matched to your pallet weight, 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.

Pushback Rack delivery windows are built around your Symmes Road dock so trailers do not sit and wait. Installation partners work off the Fairfield pushback rack drawing you approved, tag capacities on completion, and phase the job by zone or shift. Parts, added pushback rack positions, and later reconfigurations go through the same Fairfield contact.
