Pushback Rack in Myrtle Beach, SC
Pushback rack stores pallets on nested carts in inclined lanes. Loading another pallet pushes the earlier pallets back; unloading lets the next pallet roll forward. The forklift stays in the aisle rather than entering the rack.
For beverage, foodservice and third-party logistics operations, the question is how many pallets belong behind each lane face. Palmetto Coast Industrial Park in North Myrtle Beach, the Conway distribution corridor and Dillon’s inland-port warehouses present different footprints for that decision.
Density Without Entering the Rack
Pushback is normally last-in, first-out within a lane. It suits products with several pallets per stock item where that rotation works. Lane assignments matter: storing unrelated products behind one another can cancel the access benefit you were trying to gain.
Choose depth from inventory records, not the largest cart assembly available. Compare occupied positions with lanes partly filled after picking. Food and beverage inventory that builds ahead of the Grand Strand’s spring and summer season may justify deeper storage, but the quieter period still needs workable lane assignments.
Cart Travel, Pallet Fit and Forklift Reach
Provide the pallet footprint, underside construction, loaded weight and load overhang. Cart compatibility and clearances must be checked for those pallets. The driver needs visibility of the lane entrance and enough lift capacity for the complete load at each beam level.
North Myrtle Beach’s newer 32 ft clear buildings use 50 x 54 ft column spacing. Dillon’s IPD South building uses 50 x 50 ft spacing at 32 ft clear. Row orientation and aisle placement should work around those grids, with receiving and dispatch areas reserved rather than filled with extra lanes.
Plan the Installation Window
For coastal open-dock space, discuss finish selection in salt air and high humidity. Schedule cart and rail assembly with a clear work area and a path for component deliveries. In hot, unconditioned buildings, plan crew staging; during June–November, allow the operation to adjust installation dates around storm preparations.

Pushback Rack Questions
What type of pallet rack do I need?
Selective (teardrop) rack is the default when mixed items each need direct access. Pushback stores two to six pallets deep by item on a last-in, first-out basis; pallet flow suits dated stock needing first-in, first-out rotation; drive-in fits bulk storage of few items; cantilever carries long loads; carton flow serves case picking.
How many pallet positions fit in my warehouse?
The count depends on clear height, aisle width and the forklift you run. Our free CAD layout gives the exact position count for your building before you commit to any material.
How long does it take to get and install pallet rack?
Standard teardrop sizes often ship on our 48-hour quick ship program; high-density systems and non-standard sizes take longer, and the lead time is confirmed on your quote. Installation time depends on bay count and site readiness.
