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.

Newark, Ohio

Pushback Rack in Newark, OH

Newark's pushback rack conversations usually trace back to growth the building wasn't drawn for. Data center supply chain vendors, aerospace and defense suppliers, industrial manufacturers and regional distributors around Newark Industrial Park and the Port Authority campus along Thornwood Drive have added pallet volume faster than their floor plans accounted for, and a lot of that volume ends up staged in aisles instead of stored properly.

Pushback rack answers that by stacking pallets on nested carts, two to six deep in a lane, loaded and unloaded from a single aisle. For a Newark operation holding several pallets of the same item at once, that single-aisle design frees up floor space that a dedicated aisle per position would otherwise consume. Lane order runs last in, first out, which fits operations tracking rotation by lane rather than by individual pallet date.

Why Newark Warehouses Work With Us

The SR-16 corridor near the Heath-Newark-Licking County Port Authority runs through a mix of building ages — older shells near Thornwood Drive and newer spec construction closer to SR-16 — and clear height and column spacing shift enough between them that a pushback layout needs its own measurements.

Data center supply chain vendors, aerospace and defense suppliers, industrial manufacturers and regional distributors near Newark Industrial Park and the Port Authority campus tend to run medium-velocity pallet loads, where several pallets of one item sit in the building at once without justifying a dedicated aisle for every position. That pattern is what sets lane depth and cart count on a given project.

Working out of Licking County means the site visit, measurements and layout revisions happen against the actual Newark building, not from photos sent back and forth, which keeps the column grid and clear height from being guessed at before steel is ordered.

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 Newark Pushback Rack Project Includes

A pushback rack project for a Newark building starts with the load: pallet dimensions and weight, how many pallets deep the operation typically runs per SKU, and the lift equipment doing the loading. Those numbers set lane depth, cart count, frame height and beam spacing.

Carts ride on inclined rails inside the frame, nested two to six deep. Loading the front position pushes the row behind it back; pulling the front pallet lets the next one roll forward under its own weight. Both actions happen from one aisle, which is what gives pushback more positions per square foot than a selective layout at the same footprint.

For buildings around Newark Industrial Park and the Port Authority campus along Thornwood Drive, the layout is drawn against the real column spacing and clear height, then compared to a plain selective layout on the same footprint so the position gain and the added cost per position are both visible before an order is placed.

Installation crews anchor and plumb each frame, set cart rails, and label every lane with its rated capacity. Work is sequenced bay by bay so the rest of the floor keeps running, and later changes — added lanes or adjusted beam elevations — use the same layout drawing as the original install.
