Product catalog summary
Overview of Ridg-U-Rak Push-Bak Storage System
The Push-Bak storage system is designed to enhance warehouse productivity by offering high-density storage with easy accessibility. Unlike drive-in storage, it allows for 100% lane filling from the aisle without impacting adjacent lanes.
High Productivity
The system combines high density with accessibility, enabling efficient use of space and time. It supports a utilization factor of over 90%, significantly higher than the 60% typical of drive-in racks, potentially reducing warehouse space requirements.
Stock Rotation
While primarily operating on a last-in-first-out (LIFO) basis, the system can accommodate first-in-first-out (FIFO) rotation by ensuring new lots are not stored in front of older ones, thanks to its accessible design.
Cost Efficiency
Despite a higher initial cost, the system is more cost-effective than drive-in storage due to reduced handling time and space needs.
Key Features
  • 2 to 9 pallet lane depth with reduced slope for easier access.
  • Rigid box framed and telescoping carts for flexibility.
  • Large diameter wheels and flared bottom cart push plates for smooth operation.
  • Structural components with anti-lift outs and linked carts for continuous flow.
  • Sealed, specially lubricated bearings for extreme temperatures.
Design and Operation
The system features a patent-pending design for smooth, low-resistance movement and low profile. It includes telescoping carts to minimize vertical space requirements and provides safe clearance between pallets.
Benefits
Designed for ease of use, the system requires less force for pallet movement and includes safety aids for lift truck operators, enhancing overall productivity.
Specifications
  • 2 to 9 pallet lane depth
  • Reduced slope for easier access
  • Rigid box framed and telescoping carts
  • Interchangeable carts for flexibility
  • Large diameter wheels for smoother operation
  • Flared bottom cart push plate and box frame front beam for stability
Features and Benefits
  • Flexibility in slotting SKUs
  • Less force required on lift truck mast
  • Solid foundation with no open ends
  • Reduced vertical height requirements
  • Wider top cart for greater stability
  • Heavy wall thickness to prevent distortion
  • Smoother cart rolling with less force
  • Improved visibility and ease of pallet removal
  • Prevention of accidental cart disengagement
  • Interlocked carts for continuous flow
  • Greater impact resistance and longer life
  • Sealed components for operation in extreme temperatures (-30°F to 250°F)
Advantages
The Push-Bak system offers significant advantages in accessibility and efficiency, making it ideal for maximizing storage space and improving operational workflow in warehouses.

Push-Bak storage systems-1

High Productivity Push-Bak storage provides a very desirable combination of high density and accessibility. Push-Bak storage density equals that of drive-in storage, yet every lane can be accessed at all times. Any lane can be 100% filled from the aisle without affecting any other adjacent lanes above or below. A DVA N TAG E S Ridg-U-Rak Exclusives Benefits Features Stock Rotation While Push-Bak is a reverse flow storage system that operates on a last-in-first-out (LIFO) basis, you can easily rotate your stock on a first-in-first-out (FIFO) basis. You simply never store new lots in front of previous lots. This is much easier to accomplish in a Push-Bak rack because every level of every bay is accessible from the aisle. • 2 to 9 pallet lane depth • Reduced slope Reduces overall vertical height requirements. Cart that travels the farthest is the widest for greater system stability. • Carts interchangeable in 2 through 5 deep systems and in 2 through 9 deep systems Greater system flexibility. • Large diameter wheels Heavy wall thickness prevents torsional distortion. Carts roll smoother with less force. • Flared bottom cart push plate Easier to see from aisle. Easier to remove pallet load. • Box frame front beam Consider this. Drive-in rack provides a typical utilization factor of about 60%. This means that on any given day “honeycombing” in the rack results in only about 60% of the available spaces being used. Push-Bak provides utilization of 90% or more if it is correctly applied. To realistically store 1,000 pallets in drive-in you need about 1,600 pallet positions. With Push-Bak, practically every pallet position is utilized. That could even mean a smaller warehouse. No open ends - solid foundation for pallet loads. • Telescoping carts Push-Bak storage, in spite of its higher initial cost, is actually less expensive than drive-in storage for two reasons. First is the reduction of multiple handling time. And second, it takes less Push-Bak rack and less storage space to provide the same storage capacity as a drive-in rack. Less required force on lift truck mast to input or remove pallet loads. • Rigid box framed carts Lower Cost Flexibility in slotting SKU’s. Reduces outward deflection and rotation. • Anti-lift outs Prevents accidental cart disengagement during pallet load removal. • Linked carts All carts are interlocked to assure continuous flow. • All cart, rail and beam components are structural shapes Provides greater impact resistance and longer life. • Cascading cart angles Reduces debris on rails making input and removal easier. • Flat loading surfaces Easier and faster pallet load placement. • Sealed, specially lubricated bearings Seals out dust and moisture.
