CE Certified Push Back Warehouse Racking Manufacturers & Suppliers

While both systems maximize storage density by eliminating operating aisles, push back racking is vastly superior in throughput and selectivity. In a drive-in system, an entire multi-level bay must be dedicated to a single SKU to prevent massive honeycombing and re-handling delays. In contrast, in a push back system, each individual lane operates independently. This means an upright bay with four vertical levels can store four entirely distinct SKUs simultaneously.

From a maintenance and safety perspective, drive-in systems force forklift trucks to navigate deep into structural tunnels, leading to frequent column impacts, beam shearing, and anchor failure. With push back racking, forklifts operate strictly outside the rack framework in standard aisles. Structural crash incidents drop by over 80%, reducing long-term repair expenditures and operator insurance liabilities.

Push back systems are designed to interface seamlessly with standard counterbalance forklifts and reach trucks without expensive specialty attachments. However, three key engineering parameters must be verified:

1. Mast Tilt Angle: Forklifts should ideally feature a minimum of 3° to 5° forward mast tilt. When placing a pallet on an inclined cart, matching the 2.5%–3.5% rail slope ensures uniform load seating without binding the cart wheels.

2. Pushing Capacity: Forklift drive axles and hydraulics must provide sufficient horizontal tractive push to overcome cart nesting inertia. For a 4-deep system holding 1,200 kg pallets, the required pushing force reaches approximately 160–210 kgf. Modern 2.0t–2.5t electric reach trucks handle this with ease.

3. Vertical Clearance Overhang: Because the track slopes upward toward the rear, each level loses between 120 mm and 260 mm of total vertical height from front to back. Clear building height must account for this incline profile plus an extra 150 mm top-load clearance to sprinkler heads.

Yes—and this is a major operational advantage of telescopic cart push back systems over roller-based pallet flow systems. In roller flow racking, pallets must have pristine, unbroken bottom runner boards to roll over wheels without jamming or skidding. If a bottom board is broken or cracked, the pallet arrests mid-lane, creating a hazardous recovery situation.

In a HEDA push back cart system, the pallet sits statically inside a welded structural steel carriage frame. The cart’s heavy-duty steel wheels bear all rolling forces along the precision tracks. As a result, non-standard pallets (including Euro 800x1200mm, Industrial 1000x1200mm, GMA 40x48 inch), plastic pallets, metal skids, and pallets with missing or split bottom runners can be handled safely without risk of mid-lane hang-ups.

For installations in earthquake-prone countries such as Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan, and Taiwan, we conduct full dynamic response spectrum structural calculations. We increase upright gauge thickness (up to 2.5 mm or 3.0 mm Q355B steel), enlarge baseplate footprints with multiple M16/M20 chemical capsule anchors, and integrate heavy-duty K-bracing and top horizontal portal ties to prevent harmonic resonance collapse during seismic events.

For tropical monsoon environments with relative humidity exceeding 85%, all steel components undergo our multi-stage chemical immersion process (degreasing, acid pickling, zinc phosphating passivation) before receiving a 70–90 micron electrostatic epoxy-polyester powder coat. For cold stores, walk-in freezers, and coastal sites, we provide hot-dip galvanized finishes (HDG) to EN ISO 1461, providing over 30 years of rust-free service life.

Every commercial project delivered by Guangzhou Heda Shelves Co., Ltd. includes an exhaustive technical compliance dossier required for municipal building permits, customs clearance, and insurance underwriting:

• CE Certificate of Conformity: Under Certificate No. 2435-CPR-8605159.

• ISO 9001:2015 Certification: Certificate No. 18624Q00169R0M.

• Mill Test Certificates (MTC): EN 10204 3.1 certifying steel chemical composition and tensile/yield strength.

• Structural Calculation Report: Certified load charts and deflection analysis signed by structural engineers.

• Detailed Installation Drawings: 3D isometric schematics, part numbering lists, and container loading maps.

Yes. If your current upright frames are structurally sound, undamaged, and possess adequate depth and load-bearing capacity, HEDA Shelves can supply drop-in modular push-back track and cart assemblies. Our engineers review your existing beam levels, column punch hole spacing, baseplates, and floor slab thickness.

However, because push back systems consolidate several pallets into a single vertical column, the total point loads exerted through the front upright baseplate increase significantly. In many retrofit situations, we supply front column reinforcing boots or splice in higher-gauge upright frames to meet EN 15512 safety load factors without requiring a full warehouse overhaul.

Ocean freight represents a major cost component in global racking procurement. Shipping from our Guangzhou factory directly to major regional ports (such as Singapore, Port Klang, Bangkok, Manila, Jakarta, and Dubai), our logistics division calculates 3D algorithmic container nesting schemes for 40ft High Cube containers.

Uprights are nested in high-density bundles protected by corrugated corner guards and non-marking steel strapping. Dynamic push back carriages are shipped pre-assembled with wheels attached and nested inside one another. By packing dense steel profiles together with lightweight cart frameworks, we consistently achieve over 95% volumetric and gross weight container utilization, slashing freight cost per pallet position by 18% to 25%.
