Speedlock Push Back Racking (PBR):
This is a high density pallet storage system in which pallets of like product are
stored two, three and four deep on a slight upward incline (cart). The pallets
are fed in and retrieved from the one aisle, with each pallet load being pushed
into the structure by succeeding pallets so the first pallet in, become the last
pallet out. This combines the storage density of Drive-in Racking with the retrieval
capabilities of pallet flow racking. This system is best for applications
where multiple pallets of individual pallet lines are stored and where the first
in first out principle is not a criterion
Features:
1) Highly efficient use of space
2) Reduced pick times
3) Order processing simplified by stock accessibility
4) Pick face automatically replenished
5) Risk of stock damage minimized; a variety of handling equipment
may be used
6) There must be pallet to pallet contact thus disallowing front to back
load overhang
7) Line pressure must be considered when specifying handling equipment
8) Special rail and cart is needed
9) 4 pallet depths is maximum
10) Pallets must be in good condition
