Pitch-Rail Pushback Pallet Rack railTrack is recessed behind front beam Overall system height = 1’’ front pallet stop + incline measurement

Pitch-Rail Pushback Pallet Rack Pallet Stopper

Pallets loaded inside a lane are held by 1’’ front pallet stop.

To unload, driver simply lifts front pallet higher than pallet stop. As driver backs-up pallets in back automatically advance based on gravity effect of angled rails.

Rust-proof, heavy-duty 2’’ nylon polyester rollers.

Pitch-Rail Pushback Pallet Rack  3 tracks per lane

3 tracks per lane for heavy loads, weak pallets, or pallets with narrow bottom boards.

Pitch-Rail Pushback Pallet Rack installed on any type of beam

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:

  • Everyone can see the system in action from up-close
  • Validate pallets are compatible with the system
  • Confirm required track pitch so pallets advance to the front when unloading
  • Validate if center track is required or not
  • Allows lift-operators opportunity to practice loading / unloading
  • Quick install
  • Lane easy to dismantle & ship elsewhere if required
