What size pallet rack do I need?

For standard 48-inch-deep pallets, 42-inch-deep uprights are a common starting point; common beam lengths are 96, 108 and 144 inches. Rack height depends on clear height and forklift lift height. Measure your actual pallets, including load overhang and loaded height, before selecting components. We use those dimensions alongside load weights and access needs to specify the bay rather than assuming every pallet matches a nominal size.

How many pallet positions fit in my warehouse?

The count depends on clear height, aisle width and your forklift. A free CAD layout gives the exact count for the agreed rack configuration. Send building dimensions, column locations, dock positions and loaded pallet sizes so the drawing accounts for working space as well as storage. We compare usable positions rather than filling every available foot with rack that your team cannot access.

How long does it take to get and install pallet rack?

Standard teardrop sizes often quick-ship; high-density systems and non-standard sizes take longer. Lead time is confirmed on the quote, and installation time depends on bay count and site readiness. We review building access, unloading space and the work sequence before scheduling crews. Keep receiving requirements and any phased handovers in the written scope so everyone understands what must be ready before installation begins.

How much does pallet rack cost?

Price depends on pallet positions, rack height, beam capacity, decking, freight and installation. Send your pallet size, heaviest load per level, clear height and building size for a free CAD layout and itemized quote. We separate materials, freight and installation so you can compare proposals on the same basis. The layout shows the proposed rows and usable positions before you choose the system.

What type of pallet rack do I need?

Selective teardrop rack is the usual starting point for mixed SKUs and direct access to each pallet. Pushback stores one SKU two to six deep using LIFO; pallet flow suits FIFO and dated stock; drive-in suits bulk quantities of few SKUs. Cantilever supports long loads, while carton flow serves case picking. We compare the options against your inventory depth, turnover and handling equipment before recommending a layout.

In Franklin, Franklin Business Park operations can face repeat production supplies requiring more reserve density. If that is the problem on your floor today, pushback pallet racking should be compared against your actual inventory and building constraints before more space is leased.

Nested carts let several pallets of one item share a lane while the forklift stays in the aisle. That reduces the number of access aisles, but each lane is last in, first out. Before choosing depth, compare the pallets you hold per SKU with the pick faces you still need. A deeper lane that rarely fills can lose the capacity it was intended to gain.

Why Franklin Warehouses Work With Us

Franklin Business Park and Loomis Business Park accommodate manufacturing and supply operations with different replenishment rhythms. Food inputs may need controlled rotation, while maintenance materials need access even when production is busy. Ryan Road provides a regional connection, but the building plan should keep inbound staging separate from picking and work-in-process. We compare storage choices against the inventory you actually hold through a production cycle, not only the average pallet count.

For this operation, we compare two-deep and deeper push back racking layouts against selective rows. Your pallet base, overhang and load weights determine the cart specification. We keep a separate answer for items requiring individual access or date-based rotation; those may stay selective or use pallet flow. The drawing shows positions and staging together, so added density is not bought by removing the working space needed at the dock.

How Pushback Rack Works

Two to six pallets deep from one aisle, without giving up much reach.

Loading from the aisle

The driver sets the first pallet on the front cart. Each pallet added after that pushes the cart train deeper into the lane, so one aisle handles the whole depth.

Carts nested on rails

Steel carts with nylon or steel wheels ride inclined rails, each nesting under the one ahead of it - that nesting is what makes multi-deep storage possible from a single face.

Retrieval by gravity

Pull the front pallet and the next cart rolls forward on the incline to the pick face. No driving into the lane, no repositioning pallets by hand.

Last in, first out

Each lane runs LIFO. That suits fast-turning product and any operation managing rotation by lane rather than by individual pallet date.

What a Pushback Rack Project Includes

Pushback layouts are built around the pallet, not the building. We start by confirming pallet type, footprint, overhang, and load weight, because cart spacing and rail incline follow that profile rather than a generic 48x40 assumption.

Next we set lane depth. Deeper lanes store more, but only pay off if you actually carry that many pallets per SKU - so we compare a two-deep and a four-deep version of the same footprint and show what each does to total positions and to how many pick faces you're left with.

The quote covers frames, beams, rails, carts, and guarding, itemized so you can see exactly what the added density costs per position - the number that matters more than the sticker price. Rails and carts are set and tested at installation, and cart travel is verified in every lane before handover.

You end up with a CAD drawing, capacity ratings, a system drivers pick up in a shift, and a local source for replacement carts and wheels down the road.

Before scheduling the pushback rack project in Franklin, WI, we confirm the building access arrangements, unloading space and any review required for the proposed installation. The agreed scope distinguishes materials, installation and supporting services so you can compare proposals on the same basis. Send your drawings and current inventory profile to start that conversation.
