SK3600 Pushback Rack

The SK3600 Pushback racking system is a high-density storage system for storing pallets 2- to 5-deep while retaining easy access to a variety of different SKUs yet with fewer aisles and forklifts needed.

Unlike other rack systems such as drive-in, each level or lane in the rack structure is independently accessible. This allows for up to 90% more product storage than selective rack systems making SK3600 ideal for Last In, First Out (LIFO) inventory, with capacities of up to 3,000 pounds per cart.

To load the system, pallets are placed by forklift on nested carts, which ride on inclined rails. Each pallet is then pushed back by the loading of a subsequent pallet, which exposes the next cart. During unloading, the front pallet is removed, allowing the other carts to roll gently to the front.

Steel King manufactures both the cart system and racking, so you’re always assured a perfect fit. Carts are welded and do not need field-assembly so they are guaranteed to be square with no adjustment required.

The supporting rack structure can be manufactured with either roll-form steel components or structural channel, depending upon your capacity requirements.

Advantages:

Fewer aisles and forklifts needed
Provides support for weak pallets
Accommodates non-standard pallet sizes

Product Features

The top cart of any depth pushback comes with a center stop restricting the pallet from hanging over the rear of the cart. This acts as a holding stop so pallets placed after the 1st pallet won’t push the 1st pallet off the cart. (Note This applies to 3, 4 and 5 deep pushback systems.)

Stop plate: Located on the rear of the pushback lane, this stops carts from being pushed off the rear of the system.

Interlocking tabs between carts: When pushing the top cart back it comes in contact with the lower cart, moving the cart indicating that the next pallet can be placed on the cart. When unloading the lower cart comes in contact pulling the top cart forward.

Hold down angle: Pallets at times can form onto the cart when placed for long periods of time. When unloading, the pallet may lift the cart up, this angle will not allow the cart to be lifted with the pallet.

Full width angles: Welded to the bottom of the lane to maintain spacing between rails, these angles rest on top and vertically against the beams to eliminate twisting and offer a tight fit.

Pushback rails: These are bolted to the front beam through pre-punched holes which are designed specifically to the system. Two extra holes in the center of the rail on the beam are supplied for optional add on weak pallet rail support or pallet stop. If a pallet changes and requires one or the other, a quick bolt in solution is in place in lieu of field drilling or new components for existing parts.

Pushback specifications: The rack is designed with 55,000 psi high strength steel and can be custom designed for your specific pallet.

Bed rails: The bed rail is a one-piece welded construction with easy, drop-in installation.

Carts and Wheels: Heavy, four-sided carts provide a large target area for loading and unloading. Carts ship pre-assembled, ensuring components are square and operate smoothly Interlocking carts alleviate jamming and damage. Each cart is a different color for color-coded “inventory at a glance”. Optional cart accessories include pallet supports for weak pallets or wire decks. Each cart has four (4) stainless steel wheels per cart with dust and debris resistant bearings and a 2,000 lb load capacity per wheel.

Finish: A highly durable, powder coat paint finish offers better gloss, hardness, and adhesion than typical enamel paints. It also provides greater resistance to fork truck impact, solvents, corrosion, and is environmentally friendly.
