Pushback Rack in Pickerington, OH
In Pickerington, the call about pushback rack almost always starts with a smaller building, usually somewhere between 10,000 and 60,000 square feet, near the Diley Road corridor or closer to the US-33 and SR-256 interchange, that got racked once at move-in and never again even as the SKU count and order volume kept climbing. The floor fills up long before anyone sits down to redraw the layout, and by the time someone asks about racking the aisles are already doing double duty as overflow storage. Compact industrial and flex buildings around Pickerington, some within sight of Pickerington Ponds Park, where every aisle decision changes the total pallet count noticeably and seasonal order swings can choke the floor for weeks at a time, mean a layout copied from another building rarely fits once you start measuring.
Pallets ride on nested carts set on inclined rails, two to six deep in a single lane, loaded and unloaded from one aisle only. The newest pallet pushes the row back on the way in, and gravity feeds the next cart forward on the way out. For a Pickerington operation carrying medium-velocity items where several pallets of the same SKU sit in the building at once but a dedicated aisle for every position would waste floor space the operation does not have to spare, that changes the math on how much of the building is actually usable storage versus floor lost to staging and workarounds. Lane order runs last in, first out, so it suits operations that track rotation by lane rather than by individual pallet date. We measure the building you have along the US-33 and SR-256 corridor and size the system to the pallets, cases or long material you actually move, rather than starting from a catalog layout and hoping it fits.
Why Pickerington Warehouses Work With Us
Pickerington sits at the intersection of growth along US-33 and SR-256, and the buildings in that mix were not built on one blueprint. Some sit closer to Diley Road, others closer to Pickerington Ponds Park, and clear height, column spacing and dock placement shift from one address to the next. A pushback rack layout drawn for one of those buildings rarely transfers to another without new measurements.
Pickerington's industrial base includes smaller manufacturing, packaging and distribution operations, and each one puts different demands on a rack system. Medium-velocity items where several pallets of the same sku sit in the building at once but a dedicated aisle for every position would waste floor space the operation does not have to spare is the kind of load profile we see repeatedly in buildings around the Diley Road corridor, so the beam, frame or arm sizing we land on tends to track what is actually sitting on the dock rather than a generic spec.
For a Pickerington facility supplying destinations along US-33, the consultation also separates daily picks from reserve pallets. That distinction helps determine whether every SKU needs an aisle-facing position or only the active stock does.

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 Pickerington Pushback Rack Project Includes
Work on a pushback rack project for a Pickerington building starts with the load itself: pallet or case dimensions, weight, how the material is packaged, and the lift equipment moving it through the dock. Those numbers, not a catalog default, decide beam length, frame depth, arm spacing or lane pitch.
Pallets ride on nested carts set on inclined rails, two to six deep in a single lane, loaded and unloaded from one aisle only. The newest pallet pushes the row back on the way in, and gravity feeds the next cart forward on the way out. For buildings around the Diley Road corridor and the US-33/SR-256 area, we draw the lane count, bay dimensions and aisle widths against the clear height and column spacing of the actual space, then return a position count alongside an itemized price broken out by component.
Where medium-velocity items where several pallets of the same SKU sit in the building at once but a dedicated aisle for every position would waste floor space the operation does not have to spare, we compare the proposed system against a plain selective layout of the same footprint so the position gain and the cost per position are both visible before anything is ordered. Steel gets scheduled once the layout is approved, with delivery staged against the receiving and shipping windows the operation already runs on.
Installation crews anchor and plumb every frame, install decking, rails or carts as the system calls for, then label each bay and post the rated capacity so the floor team knows the limits at a glance. Work is phased so the rest of the building keeps operating, and the same crew that installs the system handles later changes — additional bays, elevation changes or a teardown if the operation eventually moves.
