Push-back pallet racking Accumulative storage system to locate up to four pallets in depth per channel

An ingenious solution to increase storage capacity and reduce handling times The push-back rack is a compact storage system that allows for storage of 2, 3 or 4 pallets in depth and a different item in each storage channel. It works via accumulation, through a set of trolleys on which the pallets are deposited and which are pushed along a set of rolling rails. All pallets on each level, except the last one in, are deposited on the set of trolleys. Meanwhile, the rolling rails upon which the trolleys move are mounted on the slightly inclined beams of the structure, with the front part being...

Advantages Optimisation of space and speed in loading and unloading operations Versatility Supports a different item for each storage channel, enabling product diversification. - In the push-back roller version, storage capacity can reach up to 6 pallets in depth. - Its easy installation and modification enables it to be adapted to the ever-changing needs of the business. - Load capacity per trolley of up to 1,500 kg. - The trolleys are designed to work in extreme temperatures from -30 ºC to more than +40 ºC. Space saving Increased storage capacity and minimal loss of upper warehouse...

Operation Trolleys and rails move the pallets smoothly and with minimal effort In the push-back racks, the forklift handles the pallets with the lower skids arranged perpendicularly, so that they rest crossways on the trolleys and rails. In each channel a pair of rails and a pair of trolleys are placed for each pallet that is to be stored, except for the last one, which is supported on the rails. Thus, if the pallets need to be placed four deep on the rack, six rails of three different lengths and six trolleys will be installed.The trolleys have different heights to allow the easy support...

The operation of the push-back system is very simple: The forklift deposits the first pallet on the highest set of parallel trolleys. If the installation is designed to store four pallets, the operation is repeated with the third pallet and the last one is laid directly on the rolling rails, not on the trolleys. With the second pallet, the forklift pushes the first until it reaches the next pair of trolleys and deposits the pallet on them. To remove the pallets the process is reversed, so that when removing the first pallet the others are moved one position towards the aisle by gravity...

Basic components Extremely simple to optimise the use of space Components 1. Frame 2. Front beam 3. Intermediate beam 4. Top beam 5. Rail 6 Push-back pallet racking 6. Trolley 7. Rail support 8.

In addition to the elements common to metal pallet racking (such as racks, beams, cross-ties, diagonals, anchorage, etc.), what distinguishes the push-back system are the rolling rails, trolleys and various safety devices: Rails (5) “I” shaped metal profiles where the trolleys are housed and which allow the rolling elements to be slotted on both sides, ensuring proper movement and preventing any possibility of derailment. The length depends on the number of pallets to be placed and their depth. They are fastened onto the beams, which are mounted with the necessary incline for the proper...

System variants Trolleys or rollers to store up to 6 pallets in depth The racking can be adapted to store two, three or four pallets in depth with the trolley system, or up to six pallets in depth with the roller system. To choose the most appropriate variant in each case, it is necessary to analyse the characteristics in terms of capacity, number of items, model and size of the pallets, as well as the operating system needed by each customer. Sets for two pallets in depth This set has only two rails and two parallel trolleys. The first pallet rests on the trolleys and the second directly...

Push-back with rollers Another variation of the trolley system is made up of roller channels. The operation is similar to that of the trolleys, replacing the rails and trolleys with rollers. The construction system is the same as in the live system, with the difference that the pallets are introduced and extracted from the same side. With this system, the pallets must be handled by the narrower side, so its lower skids rest perpendicularly on the rollers and facilitate their movement.

Applications A flexible system that adapts to many applications - The push-back system is ideal for storing all kinds of mediumturnover palletised goods with two or more pallets per item, and it is managed using the LIFO system. - It is also suitable for high consumption goods thanks to the speed of loading and unloading maneouvres. - This is an optimal solution for warehouses with many items and few pallets per item. - In warehouses requiring picking tasks, the push-back system can be combined with live levels for picking at the bottom, offering two types of solutions: 1. A single level of...

Warehouse Management Software To maximise the profitability of a warehouse it is highly recommended to integrate warehouse management software, such as Easy WMS from Mecalux.
