Dynamic Pallet Rack for LIFO Inventory Storage
Push-Back Racking
Push-Back Rack - Pallet Density & Selectivity
Push-back pallet racking combines the density of drive-in rack while also providing single lane selectivity. Wheeled carts sit stacked at the pick aisle of each lane. A pallet is placed on the top cart, then to load the next pallet, the forklift gently pushes it back, exposing a cart underneath. The process continues until all carts are used, with the last pallet resting on the rails. As pallets are extracted, the rear pallets automatically flow forward, producing a highly effective process.
Advantages | Considerations
- Ideal for high-volume, low-SKU inventory
- High-density pallet storage system
- Typically 3- to 4-deep pallet storage
- Single aisle access
- LIFO stock rotation
- Condensed footprint

Push-Back Racking for LIFO or FIFO Inventory Rotation
Push-back pallet racking is considered a Last-In/First-Out (LIFO) warehousing storage system. However, push-back can be used for First-In/First-Out (FIFO) depending on how the product comes in and out of the warehouse and the system’s depth. For example, produce facilities with fast inventory turns may load 2- to 4-pallets at one time and then pick them all for shipment together. Push-back racking requires additional vertical clearance per level to accommodate stacked carts, limiting the number of vertical positions available.
