(412) 866-1406 ## Our Warehouse Racking Products Six systems cover almost every storage problem we see in Greater Pittsburgh and western Pennsylvania. Most buildings end up using two of them together. ### Pallet Rack Also called selective pallet rack Every pallet reachable, every time. The baseline we size everything else against. See details https://pittsburghpalletracks.com/products/pallet-rack ### Pushback Rack Also called push back pallet rack system Two to six pallets deep from one aisle, without giving up much reach. See details https://pittsburghpalletracks.com/products/pushback-rack ### Carton Flow Rack Also called carton flow shelving Cases advance to the picker instead of the picker hunting for cases. See details https://pittsburghpalletracks.com/products/carton-flow-rack ### Cantilever Rack Also called cantilever warehouse racking Arms with nothing in front of them, built for lumber, pipe, and anything a pallet can't hold. See details https://pittsburghpalletracks.com/products/cantilever-rack ### Pallet Flow Rack Also called flow through racking Load one side, pick the other, and let gravity enforce first in, first out. See details https://pittsburghpalletracks.com/products/pallet-flow-rack ### Drive-In Rack Also called drive through pallet racking Forklifts enter deep storage lanes, trading individual pallet access for bulk storage capacity. See details https://pittsburghpalletracks.com/products/drive-in-rack ## Choosing Between Rack Types Four things decide the answer: how many SKUs you carry, how many pallets you hold of each one, how fast product turns, and how much height the building gives you. Many SKUs with a pallet or two each point to selective pallet rack. Several pallets of the same item favor pushback. Date-driven rotation calls for pallet flow. Large volumes of a few items in a tight footprint suit drive-in. Long material needs cantilever, and case picking needs carton flow.

When someone asks for pallet racks with no other description, they mean selective: single-deep rows, an aisle on each side, direct access to every position. Pushback, drive-in, and pallet flow are higher-density alternatives you'd choose instead, not variations on the same system." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How does push back racking compare to drive-in rack?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Both store deep from one face. With pushback the forklift stays in the aisle and gravity does the work, which is faster and gentler on the structure. Drive-in goes deeper and costs less per position, but the driver has to enter the lane to place and pull loads." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How many lanes should each SKU get?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Fast movers often earn two or more lanes so the face doesn't run dry between replenishments, while slow movers can share a level. We assign lanes from pick data, not by splitting the bay evenly." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How far apart should the columns be?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Close enough that the load doesn't sag between arms. A common starting point puts arm spacing at roughly half the load length, with the remainder overhanging each end evenly. We check that math against your heaviest bundle before finalizing spacing." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How deep should a pallet flow lane be?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Five to twenty pallets is typical. Depth should match how much of one SKU moves through in a cycle - a lane that never fills is wasting a pick face. We size depth from your actual movement data, not a rule of thumb." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What's the difference between drive-in and drive-through rack?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Drive-in is open at one end and runs LIFO - dense storage. Drive-through is open at both ends and allows FIFO, at the cost of some positions and a second access aisle." } } ] } ] ```
