Call (206) 984-1601." lang: en --- Image: Pushback Rack system inside a Washington warehouse (https://seattlepalletracks.com/assets/pushback-hero-Dus20JX9.jpg) Auburn, Washington # Pushback Rack in Auburn, WA Pushback rack in Auburn gives Kent Valley distribution operations two-to-six-deep storage from a single aisle, using nested carts on inclined rails so each new pallet gently pushes the lane back. For grocery, 3PL and aerospace parts buildings along SR-167, that density recovers floor area that selective rack would spend on aisles. The trade is rotation: pushback pallet rack works last-in, first-out within each lane, so lane depth should follow how many pallets of one SKU you normally hold. We size lanes from your actual stock levels before any beam or frame is specified. (206) 984-1601 ## Sizing a pushback rack lane in four checks A lane is a mechanical system, not just a deep position. These checks connect your inventory profile, pallets and handling equipment before components are selected. 1 ### Match depth to the SKU Set lane depth from normal pallets-per-SKU, so lanes empty often enough that last-in, first-out rotation never strands aging stock at the back. 2 ### Verify carts and rails Confirm nested cart travel and rail inclination with representative loads, checking that pallets sit square and roll freely across the full weight range. 3 ### Size beams and frames Select beam levels and frame capacity for the combined lane load, accounting for the added depth pushback places on each bay. 4 ### Plan the working aisle Confirm forklift clearance for loading and extraction at the lane face, including mast tilt and the pallet overhang the carts require. ## Where pushback racking fits Auburn warehouses Push back racking suits SKUs with several pallets on hand and no strict date order. We separate those items from dated or single-pallet stock first, because a deep lane behind the wrong product creates stale positions instead of density. Seattle Pallet Racks is a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., supplying and installing since 1997. We schedule and manage experienced installation crews, and the written scope covers cart selection, rail inclination, beam levels and the aisle clearance your forklifts need. Against drive-in, pushback keeps every lane accessible from the working aisle without driving into the structure. Against selective, it trades some position selectivity for far fewer aisles. We compare both against your SKU counts and pallet-per-SKU profile before recommending a layout.

Taller buildings reward deeper pushback lanes with more levels; older roofs may favor three-deep lanes that keep beam heights and lift-truck reach comfortable. aerospace supply production support and regional distribution ## Pushback pallet rack details for daily use Pallet condition matters more in pushback than in selective rack. Broken bottom boards or sagging loads can hang up on cart edges, so receiving should identify which pallets enter the lanes and which need a different position. Carts, rails and stops form one arrangement per lane. The system is specified for your load range and checked with loaded trials; it is not a place for pallets outside the approved weights or dimensions. Pushback can often be added to existing rack rows where frames and beams suit the added depth. A Free Design Consultation reviews your current structure, SKU profile and aisle space, and coordinates pushback lanes with any pallet flow or drive-in areas from one plan.
