Pushback Racks are basically selective racking that has been doubled into groups of four pallets. They increase storage density from 25%-65% while maintaining the flexibility to store a multiple SKUs (stock keeping units).
This type of dynamic system stores and retrieves pallets from the same aisle in a last-in, first-out (LIFO) order, reducing pick times. It is designed for operations that require a large number of full pallet pick faces with two or more pallets per SKU.
All of the pallets at each level, except the first one in, are placed on a set of trolleys that are pushed along rolling rails. These rails are built on a slight incline, lower at the front, so that the pallets at the back move forward when the pallet closest to the aisle is removed.

Advantages of Pushback Pallet Racks
Provides optimal combination of selectivity and high-storage density (you can store more with push-back pallet racks than with other racking systems)
Loading and unloading carried out in a central aisle.
Allows efficient use of space with limited sacrifice in product accessibility
Debris-free design makes these racks perfect for food applications
