Pushback Rack in Westerville, OH
A lot of the warehouse stock along Cleveland Avenue in Westerville predates current rack spec and was laid out with wide selective aisles that no longer make sense once an e-commerce or print and packaging account starts carrying multiple pallets of the same fast-moving item. Pushback rack reclaims that wasted aisle by letting pallets nest two to six deep on inclined carts loaded from a single face, so position count climbs inside the same four walls.
The access tradeoff is real: only the pallet at the open end of a pushback lane can be pulled until it moves, which is why the system fits a narrow, high-volume SKU list better than a broad one. We size cart capacity and rail pitch to the pallet weights actually moving through Westar and the I-270 north interchange, then set the pushback plan next to a selective layout for the same floor area so the position gain is a verified count, not a guess.
Why Westerville Warehouses Work With Us
Westerville operators near Cleveland Avenue running e-commerce fulfillment or print and packaging product tend to hold multiple pallets of one fast-moving SKU rather than one, and that repetition is exactly what pushback rack is built to reward. Three or four pallets stacked behind one face frees the aisle a selective layout would otherwise reserve just for that item.
Rail gauge and cart capacity have to track actual pallet weight rather than a catalog assumption, since a packaging-stock pallet and a light e-commerce carton load put very different stress on a cart. We confirm the heaviest pallet entering a lane before specifying rail, because the wrong gauge shows up as a stuck cart during the first week of use.
Older buildings near Cleveland Avenue and newer stock out by Westar don't share the same column spacing or clear height, so a cart assembly sized for one bay can jam in the next. We verify frame depth and bay width against the cart dimensions before ordering steel, and we model the pushback plan alongside a selective plan for the same space so the aisle count you lose and the positions you gain are both visible before you commit.

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 Westerville Pushback Rack Project Includes
Design for a Westerville pushback project starts with the pallet, not the building. We confirm footprint, overhang and the heaviest load going into a lane, because cart spacing and rail incline follow that profile rather than a 48x40 default that may not match what moves through your dock.
From there we set lane depth against how many pallets of one SKU your Cleveland Avenue or Africa Road operation typically holds. Two-deep lanes recover positions without much change to pick-face count; four-deep lanes store more but only pay off if the inventory supports it, so we show both configurations side by side with a pallet position total for each.
The quote covers frames, beams, rails, carts and guarding, itemized so the added density near the Cleveland Avenue industrial strip is priced per position rather than buried in a lump sum. Installation is scheduled around your receiving hours, crews anchor and plumb each frame, and cart travel gets tested in every lane before the system is turned over to your team.
Afterward you keep documented capacity ratings and a CAD drawing your crew can reference as the lanes rack up cycles along the I-270 north corridor. The same cart and rail specification can extend into a second building later without a redesign.
