Can food products go in pushback?

Yes, if they do not require oldest-first shipping. Lanes are LIFO, so dated product usually belongs in pallet flow instead.

Does pushback work in a freezer?

It does with components specified for the temperature. Fewer aisles also means less chilled space, which is why freezer users often choose it.

What type of rack do I need for ingredients and packaging?

Packaging often suits pushback; dated ingredients suit pallet flow; mixed small lots stay in selective rack. We map each item to a system.

Do you install in Franklin?

Yes, from design through installation, using experienced installation crews we schedule and manage around your production.

Pushback rack in Franklin is a common fit for food processors and industrial suppliers holding packaging, ingredients or finished cases in runs of several pallets. Lanes store two to six loads deep on carts, cutting the aisles you need.

Since pallets come out in reverse order, we keep date-sensitive product in pallet flow and put stable stock in pushback. We are a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., supplying and installing rack since 1997.

Pushback Pallet Rack for Franklin Food and Supply

Franklin Business Park and Loomis Business Park include newer buildings, many of them tall, near the Elm Road interchange. Those heights reward deep lanes, provided the lift fleet can reach them.

Food processors along Ryan Road often need cooler or freezer storage. Every aisle removed from a chilled room is space you stop paying to cool, which makes deep lanes attractive there.

Industrial supply firms in Loomis Business Park see something else entirely. Their pallets are mixed hardware and consumables, often heavy, with frequent reorders. Shallow lanes keep each item reachable within a pallet or two, and beam pairs are sized from the heaviest load. The goal is fewer aisles without slowing order picking.

Food processing, industrial supply and manufacturing in Franklin often split ambient and chilled storage. Ambient packaging and chilled ingredients usually need separate zones, each drawn with its own lane depth.

Pushback Rack or Pallet Flow? Sorting Your Stock

Food operations usually need both. Here is how we divide the inventory.

Flag dated items

Anything that must ship oldest first goes to pallet flow, which works first-in, first-out.

Group stable stock

Packaging and non-dated goods suit LIFO pushback lanes at two to five deep.

Size for the cold

Components for freezer rooms are chosen for low temperatures and wet conditions.

Rate each lane

Beam pairs and frames are sized for full lanes of your heaviest pallet.

Franklin Push Back Racking Projects

In cold rooms, carts and rails are specified for the temperature, and we confirm your forklift handles push loads in that environment.

Ingredients and packaging can share a building but rarely share a lane. We separate them by footprint and weight so carts match and beams are rated correctly.

Experienced installation crews we schedule and manage install around sanitation and production windows, leaving lanes anchored to the floor and ready to load.

Packaging is often the overlooked space hog in a food plant. Film, trays and corrugated arrive in bulk and wait weeks. Moving those items into push back racking frees selective positions for ingredients that turn faster.

On a typical Franklin walk-through I measure the cooler, mark doors and evaporator locations, then sketch lanes that keep air moving. A pushback pallet rack can sit tight in a cold room as long as airflow paths stay open.

Near the Elm Road interchange, outbound trucks head both toward Milwaukee and Chicagoland. We place reserve lanes so loaders reach them without crossing the production floor.
