Warehouse workers can use a standard forklift to place pallets onto carts that move along the inclined rails built into the push back pallet rack system. These carts are initially located at the rear of the system and have wheels that allow them to be pushed back along inclined storage lanes to move them to the front of the system so they can be picked. Once a load is picked, the pallets behind them will automatically be moved forward into position at the front, ready to be shipped when the time comes.
Increased Storage Capacity
A push back pallet rack system can store up to six pallets deep at a time on either side of an aisle, helping to optimise the storage capacity of warehouses by as much as 60% without having to create more aisles. A push back racking system utilises the space available by depth instead of by width, decreasing aisle space while simultaneously increasing storage density.
Can Store Many Kinds of Inventory
Push back pallet racking is designed to follow the LIFO (Last In, First Out) method, meaning that the last pallet to be stored will also be the first pallet to go out. While perishable products shouldn’t go through a push back racking system, it’s ideal for storing hardware, construction materials, non-perishable foods and beverages, and much more.
Compatible with Standard Forklifts
While specialised forklifts have to be used to store pallets on certain racking storage systems, standard forklifts can be used with a push back racking system. This is because back rack push press systems come with inclined rails that slide a new pallet forward to the front position once the previous pallet has been picked up.

FAQs for Push-Back Racking (LIFO)
Push back racking uses carts on rails, letting pallets load from the front and move back automatically, ideal for last-in-first-out (LIFO) storage. Drive-in racking allows forklifts to access pallets directly, suited for large quantities of the same product. Both maximise storage efficiently.
Yes, push back racking systems are flexible. Shelf heights and lane depths can often be adjusted, allowing your warehouse to adapt to changing pallet sizes or inventory levels.
Push back racking speeds up operations because pallets automatically move back along rails when new ones are loaded. This reduces forklift travel time compared to traditional pallet racking.
Minimal maintenance is needed, mainly checking rails and carts for debris or wear. Regular inspections ensure smooth operation and safety, and BHD Storage Solutions can provide guidance on best practices.
No, push back racking operates quietly. Pallets glide along the rails on carts, creating minimal noise, which is ideal for busy warehouses or areas with staff working nearby.
