LIFO Inventory Management Made Simple
Pushback Racking
Another popular option for high-density storage is pushback racking. This system operates on a last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventory management system, and features inclined rails that allow pallets to slide forward when one at the front is unloaded.
Pushback racking offers faster retrieval times compared to other systems, making it a suitable choice for warehouses with high SKU turnover rates. It also allows for selective picking and can accommodate a variety of pallet sizes.
Benefits of Pushback Racking
Increased Storage Density
Similar to drive-in and drive-through systems, pushback racking maximizes storage space by utilizing vertical and horizontal space efficiently.
Quick Retrieval Times
With the last-in, first-out system, pushback racking allows for faster retrieval times compared to other high-density storage options.
Versatility
Pushback racking can accommodate a variety of pallet sizes and is suitable for both bulk and selective picking.
Cost-Effective
Since pushback racking eliminates the need for multiple aisles, it can save on warehouse construction costs and reduce ongoing maintenance expenses.
Use Cases & Limitations
Pushback racking is an ideal solution for warehouses with high SKU turnover rates and limited space. However, it may not be suitable for all types of merchandise, such as fragile or time-sensitive items. It also requires specialized equipment, such as a reach truck or forklift with telescopic forks, to operate efficiently.
It’s often used in industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods.
Maintenance & Safety Tips
Regular maintenance of the racking system is essential to ensure its longevity and safety
The weight distribution on each pallet should be evenly distributed to avoid overloading the rails.
Training employees on proper usage of the equipment and safety protocols can prevent accidents and damage to the racking system.
Conducting regular inspections of the pushback racking, including the rails and rollers, can help identify any potential issues or damage that may compromise its integrity.
