Engineering Safe Incline Pitches for Your Forklifts

An overly steep rack will burn out your forklift transmissions and create serious loading hazards. We calculate and set the exact track incline needed to ensure pallets roll forward smoothly without overwhelming your standard warehouse vehicles.

Dynamic Thrust Load Calculation for Pushback Pallet Racking

The structural viability of pushback pallet racking relies on neutralizing horizontal thrust loads generated when MHE forces nested carts up the inclined rail system. Engineering this gravity-fed architecture in a West Covina facility necessitates reinforced rear strut bracing and heavy-duty frame anchorage to counteract continuous longitudinal kinetic force vectors.

  • Neutralize horizontal thrust loads via reinforced rear strut bracing.
  • Calculate longitudinal kinetic force vectors during MHE insertion.
  • Verify heavy-duty frame anchorage against inclined cyclic strain.

Technical Inquiry: Q&A

Question

"Can standard roll-formed uprights sustain the longitudinal thrust generated by a 6-deep Pushback Pallet Racking configuration in West Covina, CA?"

Matt Handler Director of Warehouse Storage Design

Generally, no. A 6-deep pushback configuration exerts massive localized longitudinal thrust during the MHE insertion sequence. This dynamic loading mandates the use of structural steel C-channel uprights and reinforced back-strut lacing to neutralize the continuous kinetic force vectors.

Pushback Cart Maintenance FAQ

Q: Do the pushback carts jam up in West Covina warehouses?

Cheap rollers jam. We install heavy-duty nested carts that handle massive pallet weights and roll smooth every single time.

Q: Is pushback safer than drive-in racking?

Yes, because your drivers stay in the aisle. If they do not drive into the structure, they do not smash the upright columns.

Q: What happens if a pallet breaks on the cart in my West Covina facility?

It is a massive headache. You have to clear the lane and pull the busted wood out. Always use high-quality pallets in a pushback system.
