Will pushback work with 18 feet of clear height?

Yes. You may get two or three levels instead of four, but each opening still holds several pallets, so positions per square foot usually rise compared with selective rows.

What aisle width do I need?

Your lift truck sets it: roughly 12 to 13 feet for counterbalance and 8 to 10 feet for reach trucks. Pushback can cut the number of aisles even when each one stays the same width.

Can heavy steel pallets go in pushback lanes?

They can when beams, rails and carts are rated for the full lane weight. We size everything from your heaviest pallet and list the ratings on load plaques.

How long does it take to get and install?

Lead time is confirmed on the quote, since deep systems take longer than standard teardrop parts. Install time depends on bay count and how much of the floor can be cleared at once.

Pushback Rack in West Allis, WI

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

Pushback rack in West Allis is often the answer when a fabrication shop has run out of wall to add rows. Instead of one pallet per opening, each opening holds a lane of two to four pallets stacked behind each other on carts.

The rails slope gently toward the aisle. Set a pallet in, it pushes the others back; take one out, the next rolls up. We work as a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., which has supplied and installed rack since 1997, and we size every lane around your actual loads.

Pushback Rack Sized for West Allis Shop Floors

West Allis has some of the oldest industrial stock in the area, with 16 to 24 feet clear and irregular bays. Along Greenfield Avenue and National Avenue, we often design shorter two- and three-deep lanes so they clear columns and overhead obstructions.

Metal fabrication and industrial supply firms here store steel blanks, hardware and finished assemblies. Heavy, consistent pallets suit pushback carts well, provided beams are rated for full lanes.

Planning Push Back Racking in Older Buildings

Older shops reward careful planning. These are the checks that decide whether lanes fit.

Map obstructions

Columns, overhead doors and ductwork are located first, then lane depth is set to clear them.

Set the levels

With limited clear height, two or three storage levels are common, each holding a full lane.

Check heavy loads

Steel pallets can concentrate weight; carts and rails are chosen for the bearing points of your pallets.

Leave forklift room

Counterbalance trucks usually need 12 to 13 feet of aisle to push loads square into a lane.

What We Quote for a Pushback Pallet Rack Retrofit

Older floors and tight bays mean measurements matter more than catalog drawings. We field-check clear height, column spacing and the usable height under beams, lights and ductwork.

Fabrication loads run heavy, so beam capacity per pair and frame capacity at your beam spacing are confirmed for a fully loaded lane. Those numbers go on load plaques at each bay.

Experienced installation crews we schedule and manage work around your production schedule, installing in sections so cutting and welding areas stay open.

I have walked a lot of shops off National Avenue where a forklift squeezes between welding tables and old rows. Push back racking concentrates reserve into fewer, deeper bays, and that recovered floor often becomes a cleaner path for material.

When weighing a pushback pallet rack against more selective rows, consider your SKU mix. Lots of different steel profiles in small quantities points to selective; repeated blanks and hardware by the pallet points to lanes.
