Pushback Rack in Tucson, AZ
Pushback rack in Tucson, AZ earns its place where food and beverage distributors and 3PLs carry several pallets of the same SKU. A push back rack stores 2–6 pallets deep on nested carts, loaded and picked from a single aisle, last in, first out by lane.
Cutting aisles is how pushback pallet racking adds density. Cross-dock 3PL buildings off Kolb Rd and Valencia Rd, and the cold-capable buildings near the airport, are where we draw it most.
How a Push Back Racking System Works
The first pallet sits on the upper cart. The next pallet pushes it back one position, and so on to the depth of the lane. Pull the front pallet and the rest roll forward on inclined rails. Each lane holds one SKU, so lanes should match how many pallets of each item you actually stock.
Lane depth by SKU
We count pallets per SKU and pick depths from 2 to 6 so lanes fill instead of sitting half-empty.
Carts sized to pallets
Cart width and rail spacing follow your pallet footprint and weight. Bad pallets roll badly, so we ask about pallet condition.
Same truck, fewer aisles
The lift truck stays in the aisle. No driving into the rack, so standard counterbalance or reach trucks work.
Push Back Pallet Rack Systems for 3PL and Cold Storage
Produce and food coming up I-19 from Nogales lands in Tucson coolers and freezers, where every square foot is expensive to chill. A push back pallet rack system packs those rooms deeper without giving up access to each SKU's lane. We specify cooler- and freezer-rated components for cold-storage installs.
3PL tenants at Tucson Commerce Center and I-10 International turn contracts over, and pushback handles a medium SKU count better than drive-in. For produce cold storage at the border, see pallet racks in Nogales and Rio Rico.
Pushback Pallet Racking Layout and Install
We draw selective and pushback side by side so you see the position gain against the loss in selectivity. Then you get an itemized quote with lead time confirmed. Pushback is a high-density system and does not ship as fast as standard teardrop components.
Experienced installation crews we schedule and manage install rails and carts, anchor frames to the floor and test every lane. For buildings with fast movers too, pair pushback with selective pallet racks at the pick face.
