Is pushback OK for medical products with lot numbers?

Only if rotation by lot is not critical, because lanes are LIFO. For first-in, first-out handling, pallet flow is the better match, and we can mix both in one layout.

How many pallet positions will I gain?

Gains vary with ceiling height, aisle count and how deep each lane runs. The no-charge CAD drawing tallies them before any order.

Which rack style suits a research park building?

Selective rack suits mixed, fast-moving SKUs; pushback suits items stocked several pallets deep. Most Wauwatosa buildings we see benefit from a blend of the two.

How much does pushback cost?

Cost rides on how many positions, how tall, lane depth, beam ratings, freight and install labor. Share your pallet size, heaviest load and clear height, and we return an itemized price with a CAD drawing.

Pushback rack in Wauwatosa helps medical supply and component distributors hold reserve pallets in fewer aisles, freeing floor for packing and kitting. Each storage opening becomes a lane where pallets queue on carts two to five deep.

Because the newest pallet loads at the front, retrieval is LIFO. That suits items without strict date rotation. As a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., supplying and installing since 1997, we start by sorting which of your SKUs truly stock deep.

Pushback Pallet Rack for Mixed-Use Wauwatosa Buildings

Near the Milwaukee County Research Park and along Burleigh Street, many buildings combine office, light manufacturing and warehouse space under one roof. Storage area is limited, so pulling aisles out matters.

On the US 45 and I-41 corridor heading north, distributors cross-dock regularly. Push back racking keeps replenishment stock tight to the dock while forward picking stays in selective rack or shelving.

Medical supply cartons are often light enough that weight is not the constraint; cube is. When pallets max out by height instead of weight, an extra storage level may come from tightening beam elevations by a few inches. We check that on the drawing against your actual load heights, not a nominal 48-inch figure.

What Makes Pushback Rack Different

A few principles explain where deep lanes help and where they get in the way.

One SKU per lane

Mixing items in a lane buries pallets. Assign each lane to a single product at each level.

Depth follows demand

Two-deep or three-deep usually suits medical supply; deeper lanes fit items with large reorder quantities.

Height drives spacing

Tall, light loads need generous beam spacing; frames are then rated for that spacing.

Keep picks forward

Fast movers stay in selective rows so pickers never wait on lane replenishment.

Laying Out Push Back Racking in Wauwatosa

Medical and component pallets are often lighter but tall, so load height drives level spacing as much as weight. We set beam elevations with clearance for lift-off and push-in.

Our CAD layout compares a pushback zone against your current rows, showing net positions gained and aisles removed. You see the trade before ordering anything.

Delivery and installation are coordinated around your receiving windows. Experienced installation crews we schedule and manage assemble lanes and leave them anchored to the floor.

Lane depth is where most first designs go wrong. If a component carries four pallets on reorder but drops to one within a week, a four-deep lane spends most of its life empty. Push back racking pays off when depth tracks how stock actually sits.

For buildings along Burleigh Street, I also look at how receiving and outbound share the dock. A pushback pallet rack zone near the receiving door lets drivers put away fast while pickers stay on the far side.
