Should I use selective, pushback, flow or drive-in rack?

Start with how many pallets you hold per SKU. Selective rack fits mixed SKUs with direct access; pushback works for 2 to 6 deep LIFO lanes by SKU; pallet flow keeps dated stock FIFO; drive-in stores bulk quantities of few SKUs. Long material goes on cantilever and case picking goes on carton flow.

Do you handle permits?

Yes. Our team handles the permit side for you.

We already have racking in our Clarksville building. Can you match it?

In most cases, yes. Hole pattern and connector style vary by manufacturer even among teardrop designs, so we identify yours first. A photo of the upright face, the beam connector and any manufacturer label is usually enough to match new beams and frames.

What aisle width do I need?

Your lift truck sets it. Counterbalance trucks typically need about 12 to 13 feet, reach trucks about 8 to 10 feet, and very-narrow-aisle equipment about 5 to 6 feet. Aisle width drives storage density more than almost any other decision in the layout.

Repeated manufacturing and distribution SKUs consume several aisles, but service-account inventory still needs direct access to individual lines. For a montgomery county operation handling manufacturing reserves and regional delivery stock, pushback rack in Clarksville starts with that operating problem rather than a catalog capacity. The useful question is how many pallets of each item remain together between replenishment cycles. A cart lane that sits half empty has not recovered storage capacity; it has merely rearranged the empty space.

I-24 and US-79 connect manufacturing and distribution activity, while Fort Campbell Boulevard supports a separate mix of service and supply businesses. Different inventory groups need different access rules; one deep storage plan cannot serve every supply requirement. Send the stock profile, load sizes, building dimensions, and handling equipment you use. We can compare the available storage choices and explain the space and access tradeoffs before a layout is approved. Lane depth, pallet overhang, and controlled unloading deserve attention before you count additional positions.

Why Clarksville Warehouses Work With Us

Repeated manufacturing and distribution SKUs consume several aisles, but service-account inventory still needs direct access to individual lines. Around I-24 and US-79, that situation calls for a layout comparison tied to your own stock and building. The useful question is how many pallets of each item remain together between replenishment cycles. A cart lane that sits half empty has not recovered storage capacity; it has merely rearranged the empty space. We start with your drawings, inventory records, and photographs, so the conversation stays focused on the building and loads you actually have.

Compare two-, three-, and four-deep reserves against the stock actually held. Keep mixed items selective, and keep the forklift outside the cart lanes. The comparison should show what you gain, what access you give up, and where staging remains available. Do not trade pallet-level date rotation for density without checking how inventory is managed. Pushback works last in, first out within each lane, so assign lanes around the stock policy and leave exceptions accessible.

You work through the design and itemized scope with one contact at Nashville Pallet Racks, a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co. We explain component choices, confirm the proposed load ratings, and agree delivery and installation responsibilities before you order. If the product is not a fit, the alternative belongs in the discussion, not after the rack arrives. Call (615) 703-6869 to review the plan and any phasing needs.

How Pushback Rack Works

Two to six pallets deep from one aisle, without giving up much reach.

Loading from the aisle

The driver sets the first pallet on the front cart. Each pallet added after that pushes the cart train deeper into the lane, so one aisle handles the whole depth.

Carts nested on rails

Steel carts with nylon or steel wheels ride inclined rails, each nesting under the one ahead of it - that nesting is what makes multi-deep storage possible from a single face.

Retrieval by gravity

Pull the front pallet and the next cart rolls forward on the incline to the pick face. No driving into the lane, no repositioning pallets by hand.

Last in, first out

Each lane runs LIFO. That suits fast-turning product and any operation managing rotation by lane rather than by individual pallet date.

What a Pushback Rack Project Includes

Pushback layouts are built around the pallet, not the building. We start by confirming pallet type, footprint, overhang, and load weight, because cart spacing and rail incline follow that profile rather than a generic 48x40 assumption.

Next we set lane depth. Deeper lanes store more, but only pay off if you actually carry that many pallets per SKU - so we compare a two-deep and a four-deep version of the same footprint and show what each does to total positions and to how many pick faces you're left with.

The quote covers frames, beams, rails, carts, and guarding, itemized so you can see exactly what the added density costs per position - the number that matters more than the sticker price. Rails and carts are set and tested at installation, and cart travel is verified in every lane before handover.

You end up with a CAD drawing, capacity ratings, a system drivers pick up in a shift, and a local source for replacement carts and wheels down the road.

For a Clarksville project, the drawing also needs to show where incoming loads wait, how your team replenishes active stock, and which areas must remain accessible during installation. We agree the material staging and work zones with you before deliveries are scheduled. Compare the quoted capacity with your peak inventory, not just an average week; a layout that leaves no room for a seasonal receipt may put pallets back on the floor. You receive a component list and configuration-specific load ratings, with any reuse or replacement assumptions identified. Changes to loads, beam elevations, or handling equipment should be reviewed before the system is reconfigured.
