Two to six deep, one aisle. Free layout and quote. Call (269) 390-9036." lang: en --- Image: Pushback Rack in a warehouse (https://kalamazoopalletrack.com/assets/pushback-hero-Dus20JX9.jpg) # Pushback Rack in Kalamazoo, MI Pushback stores two to six pallets deep from a single aisle. The forklift sets a pallet on the front cart and pushes the lane back; pulling one off lets the next roll forward. You give up first-in, first-out, and you gain a lot of positions. That trade fits food and beverage distribution and 3PL buildings along I-94, where a SKU often runs several pallets deep and floor space is the cost that matters. (269) 390-9036: 2693909036 ## Where Pushback Pallet Racks Earn Their Space Packaged food out of Battle Creek, beverage distribution, and contract warehousing at Midlink Business Park all share a pattern: moderate SKU counts and several pallets per SKU. Pushback lets you store those pallets three or four deep and drop most of your aisles. In a Battle Creek (https://kalamazoopalletrack.com/service-area/battle-creek) building near Fort Custer Industrial Park, a pushback block next to the docks can hold fast movers close to shipping while selective rack covers the long tail.

Four- to six-deep lanes need consistent pallets: same footprint, good bottom boards, no overhang catching the cart. We ask about your pallet mix before picking a depth. Lane depth also depends on how many pallets per SKU you hold at peak. A five-deep lane holding two pallets most of the month wastes space; we match depth to your actual inventory. ## Cooler and Freezer Pushback Dairy and packaged food coolers in the Paw Paw and Van Buren County area use pushback to keep cold square footage working. Carts and rails get specified for the room temperature, and lane depth is planned so operators are not reaching into a lane in freezer gear any longer than needed. Pushback pairs well with pallet flow (https://kalamazoopalletrack.com/products/pallet-flow-rack) when part of the inventory must rotate by date. ## Planning a Pushback System 1 ### Profile inventory Pallets per SKU at peak and average, and how fast each turns. 2 ### Pick lane depth Two to six deep, matched to pallet condition and turns. 3 ### Lay it out Pushback blocks near the docks, selective rack for slow movers. 4 ### Install Anchored to the floor, carts set and tested lane by lane.
