New & Used Push Back Racks
Push back pallet rack systems allow for high-density, last-in, first-out storage of pallets or crates using push back racks. Pallets are placed by forklift on nested carts riding on inclined rails or rollers, where they remain until it is pushed back by subsequent pallet loading. When unloading the push back rack, the forklift takes out the front pallet, allowing the pallets behind it to roll to the front of the rack, where they remain until the rack is unloaded or another pallet is placed into the rack. Push back rack systems are a high-density storage option because they fill your space with product, not aisles. Where standard selective pallet racks only allow pallets to go single-pallet deep, pushback rack systems let you store pallets 2 to 5 deep. This works well if you have several pallets of the same item in inventory at any one time.

Push-Back Racks FAQs
How Does a Push-Back Rack System Work?
Push-back racking uses nested carts on inclined rails -- a forklift loads a pallet, which pushes the pallet in front of it back one position on the rail. When pallets are removed from the front, gravity brings the next one forward. It's a last-in-first-out (LIFO) system that stores pallets 2-6 deep per lane while still allowing single-side forklift access.
How Deep Can a Push-Back Rack Lane Store Pallets?
Typical push-back systems run 2 to 5 pallets deep per lane, though some systems go deeper. Depth is a design choice balancing storage density against selectivity (how many different SKUs you can access without digging through a lane) -- deeper lanes store more but give you less flexibility.
Is Push-Back Racking Compatible With Standard Pallet Rack Uprights?
Push-back cart systems typically integrate with standard selective-rack uprights and beams, but the carts and rails themselves are a specific system component -- check that the cart width matches your bay width and beam spacing before buying used push-back components separately from the frame.
Do You Sell Complete Push-Back Systems or Just Components?
Both, complete systems and individual components (carts, rails, uprights) come through our inventory. If you're expanding an existing system, bring the exact specs (bay width, beam elevation, cart depth) so your rep can confirm compatibility before you buy.
