How much weight can pallet rack hold?

There is no single capacity: beam capacity is per pair, per level, while frame capacity depends on height and beam spacing. We size beams and frames from your heaviest pallet, and capacities go on load plaques.

How much does pallet rack cost?

Price depends on pallet positions, height, beam capacity, decking, freight and installation. Send pallet size, heaviest load per level, clear height and building size for a free CAD layout and an itemized quote.

How long does it take to get and install pallet rack?

Standard teardrop sizes often quick-ship, while high-density systems and non-standard sizes take longer; lead time is confirmed on the quote. Installation time depends on bay count and site readiness, and we schedule it around the approved layout and your operation.

What type of pallet rack do I need?

Selective teardrop rack is the default for mixed SKUs; pushback is two to six deep, LIFO by SKU; pallet flow is for FIFO or dated stock; drive-in is for bulk storage with few SKUs. Cantilever holds long loads, and carton flow serves case picking.

Pushback Rack in Delaware, OH

New construction along US-23 in Delaware often goes up faster than anyone finalizes a storage plan for it. Buildings near US-23 North and Sawmill Parkway in Delaware serve manufacturers, agricultural product handlers, building supply distributors and consumer goods packers, and the day-to-day strain shows up the same way almost every time: finished product from a new production line backing up onto the floor because the building's rack was sized for the old output volume, not the one the new line runs. Delaware has absorbed a wave of new construction north along US-23 as Delaware County's population has grown, which means a good number of buildings here are open shells without any storage plan built in yet. Installing a layout defined by your building's exact US 23 footprint converts empty vertical space into pallet positions without requiring any lease extensions or new construction in Delaware.

We bypass the generic data sheets and start with your US 23 facility's actual load requirements, calculating clear heights and frame capacities against the specific inventory you move daily near Howald Industrial. Those numbers determine whether pushback rack actually fits the way Delaware needs it to, and a layout with a price comes back before any steel is ordered for a building along the US-23 corridor.

Why Delaware Warehouses Work With Us

Delaware buildings along US-23 North and Delaware Commerce Park range from decades-old low-bay construction to recent shells with taller clear heights, and a pushback rack layout drawn for one rarely drops into the other without rework. Our team drafts the rack elevations to clear your building's specific Howald Industrial Park joists and lighting, providing a tight fit that generic catalog layouts can't match along US 23.

Manufacturers, agricultural product handlers, building supply distributors and consumer goods packers working out of the Curtis Street industrial area generally store finished product from a new production line backing up onto the floor, and a pushback rack lane has to be built around that exact profile rather than a general-purpose one. Getting the rotation pattern and lane depth right at the start keeps Delaware operations from needing a second project later just to undo handling habits the first layout forced on them.

Since finished product often backs up onto the floor when legacy racks can't keep pace with new production line volumes, we engineer our US 23 layouts to handle your current and future output, the layout work accounts for how trucks and lift equipment actually move through the dock, not only how many rack positions fit on a floor plan. That's the difference between a pushback rack project in Delaware that holds up under daily handling and one that looks right on paper but creates new bottlenecks once it's loaded.

How Pushback Rack Works

Two to six pallets deep from one aisle, without giving up much reach.

Loading from the aisle

The driver sets the first pallet on the front cart. Each pallet added after that pushes the cart train deeper into the lane, so one aisle handles the whole depth.

Carts nested on rails

Steel carts with nylon or steel wheels ride inclined rails, each nesting under the one ahead of it - that nesting is what makes multi-deep storage possible from a single face.

Retrieval by gravity

Pull the front pallet and the next cart rolls forward on the incline to the pick face. No driving into the lane, no repositioning pallets by hand.

Last in, first out

Each lane runs LIFO. That suits fast-turning product and any operation managing rotation by lane rather than by individual pallet date.

What a Delaware Pushback Rack Project Includes

Those figures set the lane depth, beam elevation and bay spacing before a layout drawing is started.

Loads sit on wheeled carts stacked behind each other on an inclined track, so setting a new pallet in shoves the row back and pulling one out lets the next glide forward on its own. In the newer shells going up along US-23, that cart-and-rail depth is often the only way to get real density under a roof that was poured with wider column bays than the older Delaware buildings nearby. A layout then shows bay and lane dimensions, aisle widths and a position count, so the gain over the current floor storage or outdated rack is visible before anything is committed to steel.

Once a layout is approved, pushback rack components get ordered against that drawing and installed bay by bay: frames are anchored and plumbed, the load-bearing elements specific to pushback rack go in at the elevations the drawing calls for, and each lane gets a capacity tag so the floor crew knows what it's rated to hold.

After the system is up, the same crew handles additional bays, reconfiguration if pallet sizes or SKU counts change, and replacement of any frame or rail damaged by a lift truck. For a Delaware operation near US-23 North, that keeps the building's rack plan under one point of contact instead of pulling in a new vendor every time something changes.
