Can I add pushback rack to my existing pallet rack?

Usually, if the connections and rated configuration match. "Teardrop" is not universal across manufacturers: send photos of the upright face, beam connector and any label so we can match compatible new components. A conversion also needs the frame depth, component capacities and operating clearances checked for the selected system.

How much does pushback rack in Brownsburg cost?

Price depends on pallet positions, rack height, beam capacity, decking, freight and installation. Send your pallet size, heaviest load per level, clear height and building size for a free CAD layout and itemized quote.

When should I choose pushback rack?

Pushback suits two to six pallets deep of the same SKU when last-in, first-out rotation is acceptable. Selective teardrop is the default for mixed SKUs; pushback stores two to six deep LIFO by SKU; pallet flow supports FIFO or dated stock; drive-in suits bulk quantities of few SKUs; cantilever supports long loads; carton flow serves case picking. We compare access, rotation and occupied positions before recommending a system.

How long does it take to receive and install pushback rack?

Standard teardrop sizes often quick-ship; high-density systems and non-standard sizes take longer, with lead time confirmed on your quote. Installation time depends on bay count and site readiness. The 48-hour quick ship program applies to standard pallet rack components, not a complete project or installation deadline.

How much weight can pushback rack hold?

There is no single capacity that applies to every configuration. Beam capacity is per pair, per level; frame capacity depends on height and beam spacing. We size beams and frames from your heaviest pallet and put the capacities on load plaques. Lane components are also selected for the actual pallet weight and configuration.

Brownsburg, Indiana

Pushback Rack in Brownsburg, IN

A Brownsburg distribution building may carry repeated replenishment pallets beside a parts operation that needs immediate access to a much broader product mix. Motorsports and trade-supply buildings may handle long parts, tooling, and pallets on the same floor. That makes restrict cart lanes to reserve SKUs and preserve the parts-picking aisle a practical design question for this building, not a reason to order the largest system in a catalog. Pushback Rack in Brownsburg, IN starts with understanding that constraint. Pushback pallet racking puts multiple pallets on nested carts served from one aisle. It is a reserve-storage decision, not a substitute for direct access to every load. Each lane works last in, first out, so pallet quantities and the stock-rotation policy need to support that choice.

Why Brownsburg Warehouses Work With Us

Brownsburg's motorsports activity around Northfield Drive creates storage needs different from the distribution buildings connected to I-74 and Ronald Reagan Parkway. Long stock and packaged parts cannot be treated as identical pallets. We ask for the material list and how each load is handled, then allocate supporting rack and access space accordingly. A small workshop may need less steel and more room to maneuver; a distribution floor may need reserve density. The same consultation process serves both, but the design should make the difference visible rather than bury it inside a generic position count.

For this pushback rack project, the specific task is to restrict cart lanes to reserve SKUs and preserve the parts-picking aisle. We compare two-deep and deeper cart arrangements with your normal and peak quantities. A lane that stays half empty is not a capacity gain, and a lane containing several unrelated SKUs can become a retrieval problem. The comparison includes usable positions, aisle space, pallet compatibility, and the access left for the rest of the operation.

As a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., we bring storage-layout, quoting, and installation experience dating to 1997. Your consultation uses the measurements and photos you provide. You get the proposed layout and itemized scope before committing, with one contact to coordinate questions about delivery, installation, and later changes.

How Pushback Rack Works

Two to six pallets deep from one aisle, without giving up much reach.

Loading from the aisle

The driver sets the first pallet on the front cart. Each pallet added after that pushes the cart train deeper into the lane, so one aisle handles the whole depth.

Carts nested on rails

Steel carts with nylon or steel wheels ride inclined rails, each nesting under the one ahead of it - that nesting is what makes multi-deep storage possible from a single face.

Retrieval by gravity

Pull the front pallet and the next cart rolls forward on the incline to the pick face. No driving into the lane, no repositioning pallets by hand.

Last in, first out

Each lane runs LIFO. That suits fast-turning product and any operation managing rotation by lane rather than by individual pallet date.

What a Pushback Rack Project Includes

The Brownsburg project starts with the operating information you provide: pallet footprint, bottom construction, load weight, lane occupancy, and LIFO acceptance. We also review the floor plan, fixed obstructions, usable height, and the working routes around Northfield Drive and the I-74 corridor. Your motorsports supply, light manufacturing, and I-74 distribution schedule helps identify which zones need immediate access and which can be set aside for installation.

Pushback layouts are built around the pallet, not the building. We start by confirming pallet type, footprint, overhang, and load weight, because cart spacing and rail incline follow that profile rather than a generic 48x40 assumption.

Next we set lane depth. Deeper lanes store more, but only pay off if you actually carry that many pallets per SKU - so we compare a two-deep and a four-deep version of the same footprint and show what each does to total positions and to how many pick faces you're left with.

The quote covers frames, beams, rails, carts, and guarding, itemized so you can see exactly what the added density costs per position - the number that matters more than the sticker price. Rails and carts are set and tested at installation, and cart travel is verified in every lane before handover.

You end up with a CAD drawing, capacity ratings, a system drivers pick up in a shift, and one contact for future storage-layout changes.

Your operating team also needs a clear lane assignment and unloading procedure. We identify which SKUs have enough reserve quantity for the proposed depth and which should remain directly accessible. Representative pallets help confirm support and cart travel, while the quote records any conversion work needed if existing frames are being considered.
