๐Ÿ’ก DID YOU KNOW? | PALLET RACK 101

Drive-in and push-back racking can both increase storage densityโ€”but they accomplish it very differently.

With drive-in racking, the forklift enters the rack structure to place and retrieve pallets. This can create extremely dense storage with fewer aisles and is often considered when storing larger quantities of fewer SKUs.

With push-back racking, pallets are stored multiple positions deep while the forklift generally remains at the aisle face. Nested carts or other engineered components allow pallets to move within the storage lane.

So which one is better?

That depends on the operation.

Considerations can include:

๐Ÿ”น Number of SKUs
๐Ÿ”น Pallets per SKU
๐Ÿ”น Inventory rotation requirements
๐Ÿ”น Desired storage density
๐Ÿ”น Required selectivity
๐Ÿ”น Forklift traffic and workflow
๐Ÿ”น Available building dimensions

Sometimes the best warehouse doesn't use just one type of racking. Different areas of the same facility can use different storage systems based on the products being stored.

๐Ÿ“ CWS can evaluate your inventory, operation, and available space to design a storage solution around the way your business actually works.

Need more pallet positions but don't have more building?

Push-back racking can increase storage density by allowing multiple pallets to be stored deep within the same rack lane.

Pallets typically sit on nested carts or another engineered system that allows each successive pallet to move deeper into the lane. As the front pallet is removed, the pallets behind it move toward the picking face.

The result?

๐Ÿ“ฆ More pallets within the same footprint
โ†”๏ธ Fewer aisles compared with conventional selective rack
โฌ†๏ธ Better utilization of available warehouse cube
๐Ÿšœ Loading and unloading from the aisle face

Push-back can be especially useful when a facility has multiple pallets of the same SKU but still needs more selectivity than some other high-density storage methods provide.

It's not the right solution for every operation, which is why inventory characteristics and product flow should drive the design.

CWS can help determine whether selective, push-back, drive-in, or another storage system provides the best fit for your facility.

There's a reason selective pallet racking is one of the most common warehouse storage systems.

Its biggest advantage is simple: ACCESS.

Unlike higher-density systems that store multiple pallets deep, selective racking generally allows operators to access individual pallet positions directly from the aisle.

That makes it a versatile option for facilities with:

๐Ÿ”น A large number of SKUs
๐Ÿ”น Frequent inventory movement
๐Ÿ”น Products requiring individual pallet access
๐Ÿ”น Changing storage requirements
๐Ÿ”น A need for straightforward inventory management

Selective rack can also be configured in numerous heights, bay widths, depths, and capacities to accommodate different pallets and operations.

But the rack is only one part of the equation. Aisle width, forklift type, clear height, pallet dimensions, load weights, workflow, and future growth should all be considered when designing the system.

Stop Stacking. Start Maximizing.

Floor stacking can limit your storage capacity when valuable vertical space is sitting unused.

CWS recently helped this customer significantly increase their storage capacity by taking advantage of their high ceiling clearance with a very narrow aisle (VNA) selective pallet racking system. The new layout maximizes both vertical and floor space while creating a more organized and efficient warehouse operation.

Is your warehouse making the most of every square footโ€”and every vertical foot?
