Pushback Rack in Tampa, FL

Pushback rack answers one specific question: what if you're losing pallet positions to aisles you don't need for every SKU? Pallets ride nested carts on inclined rails, two to six deep in a single lane, and the driver loads and unloads from one aisle only - the newest pallet in pushes the row back, gravity feeds the next one forward on the way out.

It's built for medium-velocity SKUs where you're carrying several pallets of the same item at once. Compared to selective rack, you give up direct access to every pallet in exchange for real density; compared to drive-in, you keep the truck out of the structure and get a faster, gentler cycle. Where pushback loses is strict rotation - it runs LIFO by lane, not FIFO by pallet.

We model pushback next to a selective layout of the same footprint so the position gain and the price per pallet are both on paper before you commit.

Tampa Pallet Racks is a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co. We start with the storage decision, not a list of steel. Your inventory profile, handling equipment, and available space tell us whether pushback rack belongs in the layout. A free consultation gives your team a chance to compare the system with other rack types before choosing a direction.

From East Tampa and Adamo Drive to facilities serving Port Tampa Bay, receiving and dispatch space matter as much as the number of storage positions. We account for columns, usable height, staging, and forklift travel in the CAD drawing. The itemized quote explains what the rack includes and lets you compare storage capacity against the space left for daily work.

Delivery and installation planning follow the approved layout and your operating schedule. Ask us to review future additions at the same time, so a new lane or row has a planned place rather than taking over a working aisle.

Pushback layouts are built around the pallet, not the building. 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, operating information for your drivers, and a point of contact for planning additional new lanes as inventory grows.
