About Pushback Racks
Pushback racking is a high-density, LIFO storage system that allows pallets to be stored two to seven deep on inclined rails. Unlike drive-in racks, pushback systems provide full-lane selectivity — meaning forklift operators don’t have to enter the rack. This reduces aisle space and travel time because operators can simply load into the front of the rack, and existing inventory is pushed back as new inventory is loaded.
There are two main types of pushback racks:
- Cart-based systems, where pallets rest on nested carts that roll back as more pallets are added.
- Roller bed systems, which use inclined rollers instead of carts to move pallets into position.
Unloading reverses the process: Gravity brings the next pallet forward automatically, making picking faster and more efficient. With pallet access from the aisle, pushback racking is ideal for high-volume operations with multiple pallets per SKU and limited floor space.
Benefits of Pushback Racks
Adding a pushback racking system to your facility offers several
great benefits:
Maximized Storage Capacity
Pushback racking holds up to seven pallets deep per lane, offering dense single-SKU storage without sacrificing selectivity. Each lane stays fully accessible, so you save space while keeping operations efficient.
Low-Maintenance Design
With few mechanical parts and no motors, pushback racks are simple to maintain. Their rugged design reduces breakdowns and long-term costs compared to drive-in or automated systems, ensuring consistent, low-hassle performance.
Built for Durability
Pushback racks keep forklifts out of the structure, unlike drive-in systems. This minimizes the risk of damage to uprights, helping extend the system’s lifespan while still offering high-density storage capabilities.
Quick Forklift Access
Operators load and retrieve pallets from the front aisle, eliminating the need to drive into the system. This speeds up loading, cuts down congestion, and boosts warehouse productivity without extra maneuvering.
Brands We Carry
We carry used pushback racking from all the top manufacturers:
- Frazier
- Unarco
- Konstant
- Steel King
- Redirack
- Many more!
Components of a Pushback Racking System
Though pushback racks have more components than selective pallet racks, they are straightforward in design.
Let’s break down the key parts that make up the system:
- Racking frame: Two upright steel posts with punched holes for adjustable beam placement form the main structure.
- Beams: Horizontal supports that connect the uprights and hold the load; designed to accommodate shuttles or rails.
- Pushback shuttle system: Uses nested carts on inclined rails; each cart holds one pallet and moves forward automatically as front pallets are removed.
- Pushback roller bed: Rollers on an inclined bed may replace carts, allowing gravity-fed pallet movement; ideal for simpler, lower-maintenance setups.
Pushback Rack Applications
You can find pushback racking in many different types of facilities:
- Distribution centers
- Large warehouses
- Picking and packing zones
- Inventory with different use-by dates
- Bulk goods storage
- Food distribution
- E-commerce centers
- 3PL facilities
Is Pushback Rack Right for Your Business?
Considering used pushback racking for your warehouse? Before you make a purchase, be sure to weigh your options for space-saving warehouse racks. While pushback racking is durable and versatile, it’s not the right type of rack for every application.

Things to Consider Before Purchasing Pushback Rack
Any major equipment purchase is a big decision, and each facility has unique needs. Consider the following when assessing any type of industrial racking for warehouses:
- Your space: Measure your warehouse from ceiling to floor and wall to wall. Make sure you have enough room to accommodate your racking while still maintaining safe aisle space. Keep an eye out for obstructions like support columns that could cause trouble during pushback rack installation.
- Your stock: As we mentioned earlier, a pushback rack isn’t the right choice for every storage scenario. For example, pushback racks aren’t a suitable FIFO (First-In-First-Out) storage system.
- Your budget: Much like other storage systems, pushback racks often require an initial investment that covers the equipment plus delivery and installation. Always consider how these additional costs will fit into your overall budget.
Quality Used Pushback Rack Systems
We stock many different styles and brands of used pushback systems and components. As with most of our storage systems, pushback pallet racks can be customized or engineered for the specific needs of your facility and/or application. We can help you design a system that brings the full benefits of pushback racking for your facility.
Our used pushback rack inventory includes complete used systems as well as separate pushback components, such as structural or roll-formed uprights/frames, structural rails, and different carts (trays).

FAQs About Pushback Rack
How Do Pushback Rack Systems Work?
Pushback racks use inclined rails or nested carts to allow pallets to move smoothly within the rack bay. When a pallet is loaded, it pushes the previous pallet back. As front pallets are removed, gravity automatically brings the next pallet forward, streamlining storage and retrieval while maximizing space.
What Are Some Advantages of Pushback Racking vs. Selective Racking Systems?
While each rack style has its own advantages, pushback racking provides a much more efficient storage system than selective pallet racking. Pushback racks maximize your space by storing up to seven pallets per lane — far exceeding the single or double-deep storage of selective racks. This higher density design makes them ideal for warehouses looking to boost product storage without expanding their footprint.
When Should I Use Pushback Racking?
Pushback racking is ideal when you have multiple SKUs with at least five pallets each. It offers high storage density, good stock rotation, and storage for different products on separate levels. Since forklifts don’t enter the rack, it also reduces the risk of damage to your racking system.
What’s the Storage Capacity of Pushback Racking?
While this will depend on the manufacturer and particular piece of equipment, most pushback pallet racks can hold a depth of two to seven pallets in each bay level. Most systems consist of multiple levels and bays, multiplying the storage capacity accordingly. For example, a pushback system made up of four levels with capacity for three pallets in each bay would have 12 pallet positions in total.
What’s the Weight Capacity of Pushback Racking?
Again, weight capacities will vary depending on the type of equipment. Most pushback racking systems have a 3,000-pound capacity for standard palletized loads.
