Everything you need to know about the Push Back System

Modified on: January 20, 2020
The Push Back System is an excellent strategy for optimizing your company's warehouse, resulting in efficient, practical and high-performance logistics.

What is the Push Back System?

The Push Back system is a variant of the dynamic type structures with simple and reliable operations through the LIFO (last in, first out) concept, meaning that the last pallet stored will be the first to leave. Given that, this concept, as a general rule, is used in stocks with medium to high turnover for products with a long shelf life.

Furthermore, this system has operations based on the use of palletized storage, offering better organization and agility in stock, as well as facilitating the search for goods.

Where does the Push Back System have its application?

Ideal for storing products with medium to high turnover, the Push Back system is generally used in distribution centers, frozen and/or refrigerated chambers, buffer areas for production and storage for industries, distributors and retailers.

This logistics tool therefore offers two models based on the LIFO (last in, first out) concept. They work in very similar ways and, in both cases, aim to be simple, fast and productive. Find out how.

Push Back with carts

The Push Back system with trolleys works by placing pallets on a set of trolleys, which move to the bottom of the palletized structure as they are pushed. When one of the pallets is removed, the following ones are positioned in the aisle so that they can also be removed with the same ease in the future.

This makes the processes of goods entering and leaving warehouses more efficient and agile.

Push Back with rollers

In the Push Back with rollers, the pallets slide on conveyor rollers, pushing other pallets to the rear and, when removed, those at the back move closer to the aisle to be removed in the future and/or new ones introduced โ€“ all from the same side.

Normally, this form of storage occurs through the narrowest aisle, aiming to facilitate movement, since the lower slats of the pallets will rest perpendicularly on the rollers, ensuring a safe procedure.

What is the principle of this system?

The basic principle for this system is LIFO (last in, first out), an accounting methodology that evaluates the monetary values of your inventory, as well as prioritizing which products will be put on sale and/or used in production first.

In this case, the expiration date of the products is not taken into consideration and companies that use this logistics model can work to place newer products in front of older ones โ€“ an excellent tactic to avoid the risk of obsolescence in the goods โ€“ thus carrying out the well-known stock turnover operation.

The LIFO (last in, first out) principle offers some advantages, learn more.

Precise inventory control

The LIFO (last in, first out) principle is a methodology introduced in storage warehouses with the focus on ensuring accurate monitoring, ease of storage, as well as ensuring better tracking of sales of product batches.

Monitoring following the market

This principle allows excellent monitoring of stored batches and their pricing according to the reality of the current market scenario, favoring your logistics operations and investments in raw materials.

Essential to keep up with inflation

The market is subject to constant change, especially when it comes to inflation, which increases the prices of products and services. In other words, when this variation occurs, the LIFO (last in, first out) principle becomes an excellent tool for reorganizing and readjusting your entire warehouse.

Therefore, it is essential for decision-making and assertive control within your inventory.

Discover the advantages of the Push Back System

By using the Push Back system within your company's inventory, you improve your business's internal control and make more assertive decisions about product values and the acquisition of new goods. In addition, it allows for high storage density, makes excellent use of space and has minimal loss of height, making it an excellent option for production and inventory buffers.

Discover some of the advantages this system offers.

Diversity in stored loads

This system offers storage for all pallet standards, metal racks with wooden skids, special plastic pallets, thus creating a diversity of loads, which is of utmost importance and helps to make better use of space.

Reduction in the number of corridors

With a compact structure, it has only one aisle for storage, which contributes to better flow and movement of forklifts. In addition, it is designed for use in medium to high turnover stocks, thus helping with stock rotation.

Maximum use of space

The warehouse is a space of great importance for all types of markets, therefore, and due to the available area, it directly influences the competitiveness and profitability of the company. Thinking about improvements for this environment, it is essential to implement strategies to ensure its maximum use and the Push Back system is a strong ally in this regard, as it offers improvements in both height and depth.
