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.

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.

Hilliard, Ohio

Pushback Rack in Hilliard, OH

Walk the floor of a Hilliard distribution building near Roberts Road industrial area long enough and you will usually find at least one aisle serving a pallet that moves once a month while four others of the same item sit stacked behind it. Pushback rack collapses that arrangement into a single lane two to six pallets deep, loaded and pulled from one aisle so the forklift stops driving in to reach product.

Wholesale distribution and HVAC and plumbing supply pallets moving through Hilliard Industrial Parkway typically ship in case quantities of the same SKU, which is the loading pattern pushback is built around. Cart capacity and rail incline get set from the pallet weights actually crossing the dock near Britton Parkway rather than assumed from a standard pallet spec.

Why Hilliard Warehouses Work With Us

Light manufacturing operations near Trueman Boulevard often stock components in batches that sit several pallets deep behind one face. Carrying an aisle for every one of those pallets wastes width that a single pushback lane can hold instead.

Sporting goods accounts moving through Hilliard tend to split between a short list of high-volume items and many slower ones. We route the high-volume items into pushback lanes near Hilliard Industrial Parkway and leave the slower tail on selective rack where every pallet still needs its own face.

Before any lane goes in, we lay cart spacing and rail pitch against the specific bay dimensions and pallet weights found in the Roberts Road industrial area building, so the position count presented upfront holds once the rack is installed.

Taking five racks of pushback bays from a Hilliard facility to Grove City requires keeping the cart assemblies intact during the relocation. We handle the Reynoldsburg transit and re-installation, verifying that the rail pitch allows for smooth pallet retrieval so your storage density stays optimized without any mechanical interference from misaligned cart tracks.

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 Hilliard Pushback Rack Project Includes

The process starts with the pallet, not the building: footprint, overhang, stack height and the heaviest load the lane will carry. Those numbers set cart spacing and rail incline, and they come from the product actually moving through Hilliard, not a generic 48x40 assumption.

From there we set lane depth against how many pallets of each SKU you hold at once. A two-deep lane and a four-deep lane of the same footprint get compared side by side so you can see what each version does to total pallet positions and how many pick faces remain open along Hilliard Industrial Parkway.

The quote itemizes frames, beams, rails, carts and guarding so the added density has a cost attached to each position rather than a single lump figure. Rails and carts get set and the cart travel tested in every lane before the installer hands the row back to your team.

What you end up with is a CAD drawing of the finished rows, capacity ratings posted at each lane, and a documented point of contact for replacement carts, wheels or additional lanes as the operation near Roberts Road industrial area changes shape.

The lane drawing, with bay numbers and cart capacities marked, stays the document your team checks against if a pushback row near Britton Parkway needs a cart swapped or a new lane added later.
