Our building has additions with different column spacing. Can pushback still work?

Yes. We lay out each section separately, so one addition may get four-deep lanes while another gets three-deep to clear its columns.

What happens to empty spots in a lane?

They stay reserved for that lane's SKU. Sizing depth to typical stock keeps those unusable gaps small.

Can we mix old and new rack?

Sometimes. Connectors differ by manufacturer, so send photos of the upright face, beam connector and labels and we check before quoting.

How long does pushback take to arrive?

Lead time is confirmed on your quote. Deep systems generally take longer than standard teardrop components, and install time depends on bay count and site readiness.

Pushback Rack in Menomonee Falls, WI

Name: Milwaukee Pallet Rack
Address: 7311 W Greenfield Ave., Milwaukee, WI, 53214, US
Telephone: (414) 260-3593
Price range: $$

Pushback rack in Menomonee Falls lets manufacturers and retail distributors store several pallets of a part behind a single aisle face. Loads ride carts on inclined rails, and each lane holds two to six pallets of one SKU.

Putting in a pallet shoves the queue back; removing the front one lets the rest roll up. Retrieval is LIFO. We are a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., which has been supplying and installing since 1997, and we design around your trucks and pallets.

Pushback Pallet Rack Across Building Additions

Plants along County Line Road and the Menomonee River corridor are often 24 to 30 feet clear, built in phases with different column spacing in each addition. Lanes are drawn bay by bay so depth fits each section.

On US 45 and the I-41 corridor, retail distribution users ship in waves. Push back racking holds wave stock deep while selective rows feed daily picks.

Retail distribution customers along US 45 also tend to run seasonal resets. Deep lanes hold the incoming season's goods while the current mix ships from selective rows. When the reset happens, lanes are reassigned to new SKUs with no steel moved. Planning that changeover on the drawing avoids confusion on the floor later.

County Line Road and US 45 Plants

Manufacturing, retail distribution and industrial components share buildings that grew in phases. Many of these sites mix office, assembly and storage under one roof, so we keep forklift routes clear of pedestrian doors when placing lanes.

Getting Lane Depth Right With Pushback Rack

Depth is the decision that makes or breaks a deep-lane layout.

Pull stock history

Average pallets per SKU over several months shows what lanes will actually hold.

Account for honeycombing

A partly filled lane blocks its empty positions from other items. Shallower lanes reduce that loss.

Split by footprint

Pallets of different sizes go in different lanes so carts stay matched.

Rate the full lane

Beams and frames are sized for every position loaded with the heaviest pallet.

Menomonee Falls Push Back Racking Service

Manufacturing parts often come in mixed pallet sizes. We group similar footprints into the same lanes so carts match and nothing hangs off the rails.

Adding to an existing system starts with connector photos. Many plants here have rack from several eras, and teardrop styles do not always interlock.

Experienced installation crews we schedule and manage install the lanes and anchor them to the floor. Winter work is staged indoors, away from doors that see freeze and thaw.

Plants near County Line Road often ask whether pushback can replace a floor-stacked area. It frequently can. Push back racking keeps loads off each other, protects cartons and lets you stack higher than a floor pile safely supports.

When the building has racks from several eras, I prefer to put the pushback pallet rack in a section of its own. That keeps new frames and beams together and avoids trying to marry mismatched connectors.
