Pushback Rack in West Valley City, UT

Pushback rack lanes should reflect the stock that stays

Keeping reserve lanes separate from freight movement

California Avenue and SR-201 are useful planning references for West Valley City freight operations, alongside activity around 5600 West and Decker Lake. A manufacturing warehouse may need incoming components staged before lane assignment, while a food operation may separate frozen reserve from immediate dispatch. Those handling differences affect lane depth and the space left outside storage. We represent a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., whose supplying and installing history dates to 1997.

Pallet bearing geometry

Inspect the actual bottom construction, dimensions, condition, and overhang. Cart contact must suit incoming pallets, including variations between suppliers, rather than relying on a single nominal footprint.

Weight-based sizing

Select beams and frames around actual maximum weights, lane-system reactions, and storage elevations. Include the intended number of loaded positions and any meaningful variation in load distribution.

Aisle-side handling

Verify turning room, lift height, attachment clearance, and visibility at the lane face. The forklift remains in the aisle, but each loading movement still needs an unobstructed operating envelope.

Existing rack interface

Review component identity, connections, condition, and capacity before proposing an addition to existing rack. A cart installation cannot be presumed compatible merely because the present bays have similar dimensions.

Selective rack can serve manufacturing parts or mixed dispatch inventory needing direct access to individual pallets. Retaining that access beside deeper reserve lanes often makes more sense than assigning all products the same storage method. Compare the work required to retrieve stock, not just the drawn footprint.

Drive-in may warrant consideration for large homogeneous reserves, with the forklift entering the structure during handling. The aisle-served approach here avoids that entry but still requires deliberate placement and withdrawal. Evaluate both against pallet quantities, truck movement, and the room available outside the storage block.

FIFO pallet flow is the relevant comparison when food rotation calls for loading at one side and retrieval at the other. For freezer applications, also review temperature suitability, pallet condition, packaging, and visibility. Neither cold-room density nor gravity movement removes the need for a workable rotation sequence.

Separate transfer freight from the reserve-storage brief

Send stored pallet counts by SKU, normal dwell patterns, weight ranges, and representative pallet photographs. Mark the floor areas used for incoming and outgoing freight. We can compare reserve configurations while keeping the transfer work visible in the layout rather than treating every open area as storage. (801) 942-0493.
