Pushback pallet racking stores matching pallets on nested carts served from one aisle. It adds reserve depth without requiring the truck to enter the structure, but each lane works last in, first out. We compare realistic lane depths against selective storage and show the position count before you commit to a layout. Container receipts can deliver several pallets of the same item at once into Curtis Bay warehouses. Pushback lanes can consolidate that reserve behind fewer aisles, provided each lane holds one compatible SKU and its last-in, first-out sequence fits your shipping plan. Compare the system against your current inventory and future reserve needs before deciding where it belongs in the building. (410) 305-9766 ## Why Baltimore Warehouses Work With Us A building in Curtis Bay may need room for inbound container batches while a Locust Point operation faces a tighter existing footprint. Neither should use the receiving floor as permanent reserve storage. Plan the rack footprint against the actual columns, dock approaches, and working height rather than the leased square footage alone. Our recommendation starts with pallets per SKU and how those pallets are released, not the deepest lane available. Pushback only saves working space when matching loads regularly fill its carts. We check pallet footprint, overhang, load weight, and the clear height above each inclined rail. A two-deep option may serve changing inventory better than a deeper run with empty carts. Your quote separates rails, carts, frames, and protection, with a layout that makes the reserve gain visible. Installation is coordinated with partners, including loaded cart-travel checks before the proposed lanes enter use. We discuss future inventory changes before finalizing the proposed arrangement and its component list. ## How Pushback Rack Works 1 ### 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. 2 ### 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. 3 ### 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. 4 ### 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.

We start by confirming pallet type, footprint, overhang, and load weight, because cart spacing and rail incline follow that profile rather than a generic 48x40 assumption. Next we set lane depth. Deeper lanes store more, but only pay off if you actually carry that many pallets per SKU - so we compare a two-deep and a four-deep version of the same footprint and show what each does to total positions and to how many pick faces you're left with. The quote covers frames, beams, rails, carts, and guarding, itemized so you can see exactly what the added density costs per position - the number that matters more than the sticker price. Rails and carts are set and tested at installation, and cart travel is verified in every lane before handover. You end up with a CAD drawing, capacity ratings, a defined loading procedure for your drivers, and a local source for replacement carts and wheels down the road. Compare filled positions rather than theoretical capacity. If reserve quantities rise only for a short seasonal period, discuss how the lanes will be allocated afterward. Loading instructions, compatible pallet requirements, and capacity documentation belong with the final drawing so the operating team understands the limits of each finished lane. 1 Phone consultation 2 CAD layout 3 Itemized quote 4 Delivery & installation ## Recent Pallet Rack Projects A sample of racking projects completed across the region.
