Pushback Rack in Chattanooga, TN
Pushback rack stores two to six pallets deep on nested carts. You load from the aisle, each new pallet pushes the last one back, and when you pull the front load the next rolls forward. It removes most of the aisles a selective layout needs.
Around Chattanooga, the buyers are mostly food and beverage distributors and 3PLs on the I-75 and I-24 corridors. They hold several pallets of each item and want them in one lane, not scattered down a row.
How Pushback Lanes Work
Each lane holds one SKU. Carts ride on inclined rails, so the front pallet is always at the pick face.
Lane depth
Pallets per SKU set depth. Two to four deep is common; deeper lanes trade selectivity for density.
Pallet condition
Carts carry the pallet, so mixed pallet types are handled better than in gravity flow.
Last in, first out
Pushback is LIFO per lane. For strict date rotation, compare it with pallet flow rack.
Pushback for Food, Beverage and 3PL Density
Food and beverage plants and distributors here hold deep runs of cases, cans and bottles. Pushback puts those runs into a fraction of the floor a selective layout would use.
3PLs at Enterprise South and in big-box space toward Collegedale and Cleveland use pushback for clients with deep SKUs, while selective rows handle the long tail.
Hot, humid summers push humidity-sensitive food and paper goods into climate-controlled rooms. When that space costs more per square foot, the density pushback adds is worth more too.
Mixing Pushback Into an Existing Layout
You do not have to rebuild the whole building. We often convert a few rows near the docks to pushback and leave selective pallet rack elsewhere.
If the conversion is part of a move, our warehouse relocation crew can phase both. Distributors in Dalton and Hixson have the same option.
