Push Back Pallet Racking
At A-Z Storage Systems, we design, supply and install push back pallet racking systems for warehouses, distribution centres, manufacturers and logistics businesses across the UK.
Push back racking is a high-density pallet storage solution designed to store multiple pallets deep while allowing loading and unloading from a single aisle face. Pallets are stored on inclined rails, rollers or carts, with each new pallet pushing the previous pallet further into the racking.
When the front pallet is removed, the pallets behind move forward into the picking position. This makes push back racking an efficient solution where businesses need to increase storage density while maintaining relatively quick access to groups of pallets.
Whether you're looking to increase warehouse capacity, improve storage efficiency or make better use of existing space, our team can design a bespoke push back racking system around your warehouse, stock and operational requirements.
All installations are completed by experienced SEIRS-registered installers and designed in line with current SEMA and HSE guidelines.
What Is Push Back Racking?
Push back pallet racking is a high-density storage system that allows pallets to be stored several positions deep within each lane.
The system operates primarily on a Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) basis. Pallets are loaded and retrieved from the same aisle, reducing the need for multiple access aisles and helping maximise available warehouse space.
Push back racking can be particularly suitable for:
Distribution centres
Logistics warehouses
Manufacturing facilities
Wholesale storage
Bulk pallet storage
Medium-turnover stock
Cold storage applications
Warehouses with limited floor space
The exact number of pallets stored per lane depends on the system design, pallet dimensions, load requirements and available warehouse height.
High-Density Pallet Storage
Store multiple pallets deep within individual lanes to increase storage capacity and make better use of available warehouse space.
Reduced Aisle Requirements
Because loading and picking take place from the same aisle face, push back racking can reduce the amount of floor space required for access aisles.
Ideal for Bulk Storage
Push back racking is well suited to businesses storing larger quantities of similar products or stock that does not require individual pallet access.
Better Use of Warehouse Space
Push back racking makes efficient use of both floor space and warehouse height, making it particularly useful where space is limited.
Faster Pallet Handling
Pallets are presented towards the front of the racking, reducing unnecessary forklift movement within the storage system.
Multiple Pallets Per Lane
Several pallets can be stored behind one another, depending on the system configuration, pallet dimensions and operational requirements.
Benefits of Push Back Racking
Bespoke Push Back Racking Design
Every warehouse is different, which is why we don't take a one-size-fits-all approach.
Our team can assess:
Warehouse dimensions
Available floor space
Building height
Pallet dimensions
Pallet weights
Number of pallets required
Stock turnover
Forklift requirements
Loading and unloading processes
Future storage requirements
We can then create a bespoke warehouse layout designed to maximise storage capacity while maintaining efficient access and safe working areas.
Is Push Back Racking Right for Your Warehouse?
Push back racking is particularly useful where storage density is more important than direct access to every individual pallet.
It can be a suitable alternative to standard adjustable pallet racking where:
You store multiple pallets of the same or similar products
Stock turnover is moderate
You can operate a LIFO storage method
You want to increase pallet storage capacity
Warehouse floor space is limited
You want to reduce the number of access aisles
If you require direct access to every pallet position, adjustable pallet racking may be a more suitable solution.
Our team can assess your warehouse and recommend the most appropriate racking system for your stock and operational requirements.

Push Back Racking for Logistics & Distribution
Push back pallet racking is particularly useful for logistics and distribution warehouses where storage density and efficient pallet handling are important.
By storing pallets multiple deep and accessing them from a single aisle face, the system can help businesses make better use of valuable warehouse space.
It can be particularly suitable for:
Distribution centres
3PL warehouses
Wholesale operations
Bulk storage
Manufacturing
Food and beverage
General logistics
For businesses with large volumes of similar products, push back racking can provide an effective balance between storage density and pallet accessibility.
Push Back Racking vs Adjustable Pallet Racking
The right system depends on how your warehouse operates.
Push Back Racking
Best for: High-density storage and multiple pallets of similar products.
Storage: Multiple pallets deep.
Access: From one aisle face.
Stock rotation: Generally LIFO.
Adjustable Pallet Racking
Best for: Warehouses requiring direct access to individual pallets.
Storage: Typically one pallet deep per position.
Access: Direct access to individual pallet locations.
Stock rotation: Suitable for a wider range of stock management requirements.
Our team can help you determine which system is most appropriate for your warehouse.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is push back pallet racking?
Push back pallet racking is a high-density storage system that allows multiple pallets to be stored deep within a lane. Pallets are loaded and retrieved from the same aisle face using inclined rails, rollers or carts.
How many pallets can push back racking store?
The number of pallets per lane depends on the system design, pallet dimensions, load requirements, warehouse height and available depth. Push-back systems can be configured to store several pallets deep.
Is push-back racking suitable for every warehouse?
No. Push back racking is particularly suited to businesses requiring high-density storage and can operate effectively with LIFO stock rotation. If you require direct access to every pallet, adjustable pallet racking may be more appropriate.
Does push back racking save warehouse space?
Yes. By storing pallets multiple deep and loading from a single aisle face, push back racking can reduce aisle requirements and increase storage density compared with conventional selective pallet racking.
Do you design and install push back racking?
Yes. A-Z Storage Systems provides push back racking design, supply and installation throughout the UK.
Can you install push back racking in an existing warehouse?
Yes. We can assess your existing warehouse layout and determine whether push back racking is suitable for your available space, stock and handling equipment.
Do you provide racking inspections?
Yes. Our sister company, A-Z Rack Inspections Ltd, provides professional racking inspections carried out by SEMA Approved Racking Inspectors (SARIs).
