Designing an effective rack system for a cold storage facility involves a thorough analysis of both general warehousing factors and the unique operational challenges presented by low-temperature environments. While many of the core considerations—such as pallet count, building dimensions, and seismic factors—mirror those of ambient storage, cold storage introduces several additional layers of complexity due […]
Exploring Efficiency Gains Across Sectors Semi-automated pallet shuttle systems have emerged as a transformative solution for industries grappling with the growing demands of storage and logistics. By automating key processes in the storage and retrieval of pallets, these systems significantly improve efficiency, reduce operational costs, and minimize damage to racks and goods. As businesses […]
Drive-In Systems: What You Need To Know
4 years ago
Drive-In systems are designed to provide many years of safe storage in high frequency loading service. They offer the ability to store a large amount of similar SKUs in a small storage area. Selectivity is sacrificed, but storage density is outstanding. In a drive-in system, a lift truck drives into the rack to access pallets […]

Beam Length – To calculate your beam length take the pallet width plus 4″ for the right plus 4″ for the left multiplied by 1, 2 or 3 based on 1 wide, 2 wide or 3 wide applications respectively. Upright Depth – to calculate upright depth take the pallet depth minus 2″ for front overhang […]
RACK COMPARISON: Pushback vs. Drive-In

CASE STUDY: In 4,000 sq. ft. (200′ x 20′), the following number of bays can be laid out: Drive-In Rack: 42 bays (56″ c/c bays) x 5 high x 5 deep x 1 wide = 1,050 pallet positions Pushback: 24 bays (100″ c/c bays) x 5 high x 5 deep x 2 wide = 1,200 […]
How to: Selecting the Right Depth of Pushback
6 years ago
1. One of the risks with any deep storage system is the risk of “checker boarding”. This happens when a deep lane storage system is selected, but there are too many individual SKU’s in the facility to efficiently fill the deep storage lane. FOR EXAMPLE: If you only have a single SKU of an item,…
Pushback racking is a type of pallet storage system that allows 2 – 6 pallets deep to be stored on both sides of an aisle, providing high storage density than other pallet rack systems. A pushback rack system is a LIFO system normally composed of an inclined rail section that extends the full depth of […]
