From time to time we get requests from our customers to use\u00a0flowrack components<\/a>\u00a0(like\u00a0wheels<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0rollers<\/a>) in a pushback application. \u00a0As we manufacture both flowrack and\u00a0pushback systems<\/a>\u00a0we have a unique perspective on this relative to our pushback or flowrack only competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In general we like to stick to using pushback carts and rails for\u00a0pushback racking<\/a>\u00a0applications. The reasons for this are as follows:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Pushback carts and rails are generally cheaper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Performance is usually better. With\u00a0pushback<\/a>\u00a0we have steel carts with steel wheels riding on steel rails \u2013 pallet quality is not as crucial as it is in\u00a0flowrack applications<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Structural steel pushback carts are more abuse resistant compared to flowrack components.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    That being said, we have supplied a few\u00a0pushback rack systems<\/a>\u00a0where the circumstances warranted. In one case the client wanted to go 10 pallets deep, and our cart systems are limited to a maximum of 6 deep. If you are going to use\u00a0pallet flow components<\/a>\u00a0in a\u00a0pushback application<\/a>, make sure that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. The pallets are good quality and consistent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. One way brakes are included. Never consider a\u00a0deep lane<\/a>\u00a0pushback system with wheels or rollers that does not have brakes. \u00a0If a pallet hangs up in the rear and then breaks free sometime later it could travel with excessive speed to the aisle and potential fall out of the racking \u2013 brakes are a must.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Testing is completed prior to building the system. At 3D we always like to test the\u00a0pallets<\/a>\u00a0at our facility to make sure both the pallet and load are suitable and will work reliably in the storage system.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
