Pitch-Rail Pushback Pallet Rack
Home | Pallet Rack | Pitch-Rail Pushback Pallet Rack
Pitch-Rail pushback pallet rack is a simple an effective pushback pallet system designed for 2 to 6 pallet deep storage. Heavy-duty tracks slope on an angle like conventional pushback cart systems. Because you let gravity does the work.
Pallets up to 3000# each Typical incline based on 48’’ deep pallets: Pallets less than 1000# : 1/2’’ per linear foot Pallets 1000# + : 3/8’’ per linear foot
The track is recessed behind front beam Overall system height = 1’’ front pallet stop + incline measurement.
Pallets loaded inside a lane are held by a 1’’ front pallet stop.
To unload, the driver simply lifts front pallet higher than pallet stop. As the driver backs-up, pallets in back automatically advance based on the effect of gravity because of the angled rails.
Each track has a rear safety pallet stop installed to prevent risk of accidently overloading the lane.
A yellow z-hook is placed on the back beam in the same way as on front of the system. because this keeps pallets from moving too far.
Pitch-Rail Pushback Pallet Rack Benefits
- Firstly this allows for lower cost than most push-back systems
- Secondly it is long-lasting, reliable. This means minimal follow-up costs (if any)
- Can be installed on racking from any known manufacturer
- Lower profile than conventional pushback cart systems
- Does not require a back-stop beam because of the rail stops.
- Pallets move together so nothing can block or derail.
- Ok for wood / plastic pallets any size including non-standard dimensions
- Pallets in a lane can have varying weights & size
- Optional center track for heavy loads or poor-quality pallets
- Ok for front pallet case picking (empty pallet removed using lift-truck)
- Can be installed in cooler / freezer environments
- Quick install – only 4 tek-screws per track
If the storage lane has only two tracks the bottom pallet boards must be at least 3.25’’ wide. This is because rollers have 3’’ center-to-center spacing.
Yeah! Rust-proof, heavy-duty 2’’ nylon polyester rollers.
Use 3 tracks per lane for heavy loads, weak pallets, or pallets with narrow bottom boards.
Can be installed on any type of beam: roll-form (box or step) or structural beams.
Standard track lengths: (based on 48’’ deep pallet with no product overhang)
2 deep: 99’’ + width of front and back beam
3 deep: 147’’
4 deep: 198’’
5 deep: 246’’
6 deep: 297’’
Example: 3 deep lane with 2’’ box beams = 147’’ + 2’’ front beam + 2 ‘’ back beam = 151’’ overall track length.
3 deep rack design: front upright 54’’ + opening 49’’ + rear upright 48’’ = 151’’
Benefits of Ordering A Test Lane For Your Pitch-Rail Pushback Pallet Rack:
- Firstly, because you can see the system in action from up-close.
- Secondly, you can validate pallets are compatible with the system.
- Required track pitch will be confirmed so pallets advance to the front when unloading
- Validate if center track is required or not because you don’t want to order center tracks if you don’t need them.
- Allows lift-operators opportunity to practice loading / unloading
- Quick install
- The lane is easy to dismantle & ship elsewhere if required.
Lanes 2, 3 and 4 deep shipped fully assembled – 5 and 6 deep partially assembled
