The "push-back" system is an ingenious method to manage your warehouse.
Welcome to our page dedicated to gravity flow racks, also known as the "push-back" system. We are excited to introduce you to an effective solution for optimizing your warehouse using this innovative system.
The "push-back" system is a clever method for warehouse management, particularly suitable for non-perishable stocks. It provides a practical and efficient solution to maximize the use of available space. Let's explore how it works.
The forklift plays a central role in this system. It takes the pallet and pushes it in front of it, allowing the pallet to roll on a cart towards the back of the shelf. This method facilitates access to products while optimizing storage space in depth.
Space Optimization: While this system requires a bit more height space compared to its counterparts, it compensates by maximizing the use of depth space. The inclination of the rails supporting the carts allows for efficient organization and easy stock management.
Ease of Access: By pushing the pallet backward, the "push-back" system simplifies the process of accessing products, improving picking efficiency.
Efficient Management: The method of this system does not require automatic pallet rotation. However, it offers efficient stock management by allowing direct access to the needed pallets.
Although the gravity flow rack "push-back" is an effective solution, it's essential to consider the height space required. The carts and the inclination of the rails may slightly reduce the available height in your warehouse. Nevertheless, the operational efficiency and space optimization advantages outweigh this minor inconvenience.
In conclusion, the gravity flow rack "push-back" provides a smart solution to maximize space utilization in your warehouse while ensuring efficient management of non-perishable stocks. Explore this option to enhance the operational efficiency of your business.
Groupe ITC offers five main types of pallet racking: selective, mobile (Shuttle Rack), gravity (push-back), dynamic (pallet flow) and drive-in (condensed static). Each type optimizes storage density, pallet accessibility and stock rotation differently.
The choice mainly depends on your stock rotation (FIFO or LIFO), the level of selectivity required, the target storage density and your budget. Selective racking gives direct access to every pallet, while condensed systems maximize capacity at the expense of selectivity. Our consulting service helps determine the optimal configuration.
Selective racking provides direct, individual access to each pallet, ideal for a wide variety of SKUs. The drive-in (condensed static) system stores pallets in depth to maximize capacity but reduces selectivity. The first favors accessibility, the second density.
For FIFO rotation (first in, first out), dynamic pallet-flow racking moves pallets toward the exit by gravity. For LIFO rotation (last in, first out), push-back gravity racking or drive-in systems are more suitable. The choice depends on the nature of your products and their expiry dates.
