Description
Push Back Racking
Push Back Racking offers a high-density, bulk storage solution based on the FiLO concept (First in Last Out). The idea behind Pushback Racking is to provide a compact storage solution where a large quantity of pallets can be stored while taking up as little space as possible. It's main feature is to enable high density pallet storage but with reduced Forklift truck handling time. What Push back racking has the biggest impact on is time taken marshalling pallets to reduce pick time. Because stock rotation is semi-automatic it requires less use of a forklift truck where double handling might otherwise be required. Pushback Racking systems are configured to ensure improved inventory management. Push back Racking is often configured so pallets containing similar product are stored together in quantities to match dispatch volumes. This means batches of pallets are easily retrieved to be loaded on to delivery vehicles. Every efficient warehouse or factory relies on good Inventory management where the location of each and every pallet can be identified, Push Back Racking provides for this.
Pushback Racking Design
Push Back Racking is built from traditional Pallet Racking frames and beams but configured to condense pallets as close together as possible. Instead of the traditional aisles you might find in a standard Pallet Racking system, Pushback Racking utilises lanes which run parallel to each other similar to a 100m running track and can be upto 20m in length. The lanes are designed to facilitate the automatic movement of pallets along either a series of rollers or concertina Glide Trolley mechanism. The dynamic pallet mechanism is installed on a slight incline which means only gravity is required to move the pallet forward. Speed controllers are fitted along the lane to ensure the pallet movement is fully controlled. Each lane also includes a mechanism which seperates the pallet located at the very front of the queue from the compressed weight of the pallets behind. This seperation enables easier, more efficient picking and safe removal of each pallet. Within each lane there can be multiple levels of roller beds to utilise the vertical space in the building and is only limited by the reach of the forklift truck. Push Back Racking is a high density storage solution with improved stock rotation.
Push Back Racking Use
With Push Back Pallet Racking, care must always be taken when loading and unloading but it's operation and use is a very simple process. When a pallet is to be deposited into the system, the FLT operator aligns themselves with a chosen lane and approaches with the pallet raised just above the trolley or roller beds. If the forklift truck has a tilt mechanism then this should be engaged prior to placing the pallet. The roller beds are installed with a 4° slope so if the pallet can be tilted to a similar angle, placement of the pallet is easier. Once the pallet is in place and the forks retracted, the pallet then remains in place at the front on the lane. A second pallet can then be deposited by carefully positioning the pallet so the first can be push back as the second pallet is deposited. This sequence is then repeated until the lane is filled to capacity. To unload a pallet, the forlift truck driver aligns themselves with a chosen lane and then lifts the pallet and reverses to complete the pallet removal. Once the pallet is removed, the seperator mechanism is released so the next pallet in the queue can then roll to the front position.

Note: All our pre-configured systems are designed based on SEMA recommended tolerances and requirements. Adjustments may be applied to suit alternative minimum or maximum recommendations on a case-by-case basis. If required these slight deviations may impact the final design, particularly where adjustments offer improved prices or where the customer has specific requirements.
Installation
All NEBCO Preconfigured Pushback Racking systems are supplied with detailed assembly instructions. These instructions merely demonstrate how the components fit together and should not be used as an installation manual. NEBCO has access to teams of qualified professional installation contractors who are available for every installation project.
Installation and assembly should always be performed by a qualified professional team. NEBCO does not take any responsibility or accept liability for accidents or injury resulting from an incorrect installation carried out by an unqualified, unauthorised team.
NEBCO also does not take any responsibility for damage to the racking materials and/or fabric of the building resulting from unauthorised handling by the customer or any party nominated by the customer.
All our projects are costed with certain assumptions made about site conditions and customer responsibilities. Below is a list of these assumptions which identify both the customer and NEBCO's responsibilities. NEBCO is happy to discuss these and can provide alternative formats
NEBCO Responsibilities
- Site-specific Risk assessment and method statement
- Offload and transfer materials to the installation area
- Supply MHE for offloading and installation
- Installation of racking materials set out in the official proposal.
- Supply and fit SEMA Load Signs.
- Remove rubbish and sweep installation area.
- Provide skips for removal of rubbish
- Dismantle, stack, and band existing equipment - not included but optional.
Customer responsibilities
- To act as Principal Contractor
- Asbestos survey
- The site to be cleared prior to delivery
- Clear unobstructed access to the site.
- Adequate lighting - NEBCO to provide task lighting
- Power for tools
- Mess facilities
Loads
Our proposed designs and price assumes that the floor upon which the racking is built is capable of safely carrying the loads imposed by the new installation. The floor must be also suitable for making adequate fixings where necessary. The loads resulting from the proposed installation are noted in the proposal and/or accompanying drawings. Since we cannot know the integrity of your building or floor, it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure these are capable of supporting the loads to be imposed prior to commencement of installation. NEBCO is happy to advise you on this matter should this be required.
Deliveries and Phasing
All deliveries will be made to the site to a pre-determined delivery schedule. Unless specifically stated NEBCO has assumed a continuous Programme of works. Delivery vehicles shall be offloaded at the agreed location. We will be pleased to discuss the delivery date and any special installation requirements, which might be associated with this project.
Working Hours
NEBCO has assumed working Monday – Friday, 8:00 - 17:00 with the exception of bank holidays a full detailed program will be provided, following receipt of order.
Impact of associated trades
Where associated trades impact our storage solution, the customer must ensure they have confirmation that they are fully compatible with our design. Where a drawing is produced by NEBCO LTD, the customer may be required to sign in agreement that our design is correct prior to deliveries arriving on site.
Trades that may normally impact our system might include:
- Flooring & Sprinkler specialists.
- Forklift trucks and other mechanical handling equipment.
- Lighting.
Contract Price Adjustment
The price stated in any of our proposals is based on the costs of raw materials and labour as of the date of the proposal. If any fluctuation in these costs, that is beyond our control, results in an increased cost to us in performing our obligations under a contract, we reserve the right to pass any such increase on to the purchaser.
Clean Down
We do not include within our proposal any costs for cleaning down the racking structure after completion of installation. However, when the materials are delivered and installed we will leave the working area in a clean and tidy condition.
