Push back rack is ideal for space utilization as goods are stored and retrieved at one point only. The front pallet is pushed backwards when storing new pallets; the rear pallet automatically comes forward to the front picking position when the front pallet is retrieved. As the most recently stored inventory is positioned to be picked first so push back rack is suitable for goods unaffected by obsolescence, expiration or deterioration
