Customized Gravity Driven Push Back Pallet Racking and Pallet Flow
Racking
In modern warehouses and distribution centers, storage capacity and
efficiency are the most important factors in maximizing a facility.
The desired types of steel storage pallet racks include selective,
push-back, drive-in, drive-through, pallet flow, cantilever, work
platforms, and any other related systems. Here are some common
details about warehouse pallet racks.

In which, both push-back pallet racking systems and pallet flow
racking systems are commonly used in a lot of areas with similar
prices and here is a comparison between them, which may help you to
choose wisely.
Similarities
♦ High-density storage capacity
Like push-back pallet racks, the pallet flow rack system also
offers increased storage density with its multiple pallets and
fewer aisles.
♦ Automatic pallets movement via gravity
In a pallet flow rack system, pallets are also stored on inclined
lanes, which support and allow the pallets to roll down from one
side to the picking end automatically via gravity.
Differences
♦ Different configurations
• Pallet flow rack system can store up to 12 pallets deep while
push-back pallet racks can only store 6 pallets max per lane.
• Pallet flow rack system has two aisles for separate loading and
picking while push-back pallet racks only have one front for both
loading and unloading.
• Pallet flow rack systems are usually equipped with complex motion
and braking systems to control the speed of the moving pallets
while push-back pallet racks can only depend on the forklifts when
unloading.
♦ Different stock rotations
• Pallet flow rack system follows a First-in/First-out(FIFO) stock
rotation principle with two aisles while push back pallet racking
system obeys the Last-in/First-out rule.
• Pallet flow rack system offers a faster pallet selection and
quicker inventory turnover than push-back racks.
♦ Different storage products
• Pallet flow rack system is a perfect solution to time/date
sensitive products while push back pallet racking system is not
suitable for perishable products.
• Pallet flow rack system is better for the storage and retrieval
of fragile items such as glass or carbonated beverages owing to its
barking system.
Usually, in small warehouses, especially in freezers and cooler
rooms, push-back pallet racks tend to be more popular. While
perishable products requiring fast stock rotation can benefit more
from pallet flow racking system for its excellent handling
efficiency.
Actually, push-back pallet rack can often integrate with pallet
flow forming an intelligent storage system to satisfy your personal
demands. You can be creative for your storage combinations and
configurations as long as they are functional and safe.
