What is Back-to-Back Racking?

Back-to-back racking is a storage system where two rows of pallet racks are positioned back-to-back, with a clear aisle in between. This configuration allows for double-deep pallet storage, which can increase storage density by up to 50% compared to single-deep storage.

Why is Back-to-Back Racking?

The primary advantage of back-to-back racking is that it maximizes the use of available storage space while still allowing for efficient movement and access to goods. By using the narrow aisle between the two rows of racks, a forklift operator can easily access the goods stored in either row.

Back-to-Back Racking is particularly useful for warehouses and distribution centers where space is at a premium, as it allows for high-density storage of goods while still providing easy access. Additionally, back-to-back racking can be designed to accommodate different pallet sizes and load capacities, making it a versatile option for a variety of storage needs.

Features of Back-to-Back Racking

• Adjustable beams: The horizontal beams that support the pallets can be adjusted to accommodate different pallet sizes and load capacities.

• Forklift access: Back-to-back racking is designed to be used with forklifts, which can easily navigate the narrow aisles to access the goods stored in either row of racks.

• Safety features: To ensure safety, back-to-back racking is typically equipped with safety bars, safety nets, and other safety features to prevent pallets from falling or tipping over.

• Customizable configurations: Back-to-back racking can be customized to fit the specific needs of a warehouse or distribution center.
