Pushback Rack in Dundalk, Maryland

Warehousing around the Dundalk Marine Terminal and Sollers Point tends to receive freight by the container, not by the case. A forty-foot box often brings a run of matching pallets, which is exactly the inventory pattern that fills a deep lane all the way back.

Selective rows give every pallet its own beam slot and its own share of aisle. When twenty pallets of the same SKU arrive together, most of those slots are wasted access. Grouping them three or four deep removes aisles the operation never needed.

Many Dundalk buildings are older and lower to the roof deck than the new bulk boxes elsewhere in the metro, so we usually gain positions by going deeper rather than taller.

Ask yourself one question before choosing depth: when a container is fully put away, how many lanes are completely full? If the answer is most of them, the pushback rack is sized right.

Rails pitch gently toward the aisle. The operator sets the first pallet on the uppermost cart, then pushes it back with the next load, and so on until the lane is full. Pulling the front pallet lets the one behind roll forward to the pick position.

That makes every lane last in, first out. If your import contracts require strict lot rotation, a pallet flow layout for Dundalk is the better comparison, because it loads from one end and picks from the other.

We ask how many pallets of each item you actually hold on a normal week and during the heaviest import stretch. A four-deep lane that averages two loads gives back none of the space it promised.

Mixing depths is common: three-deep bays for mid-volume items, five-deep for the few SKUs that always arrive by the container. Fast single-pallet items stay in selective rack.

Upright frames are sized for total lane weight and level height, and beam elevations must leave room for the cart stack plus lift-off clearance. We work from your heaviest pallet, not a catalog average.

Adding lanes to rack you already own is often possible when the frame profile and connector match. Send photos of the upright face and a beam end and we will confirm before quoting.

Container unloads land in bursts. A pushback rack block works best when there is floor near the doors to stage a full container before it is put away, so we leave that zone open on the drawing.

Push back racking also changes how putaway is assigned: one SKU per lane, never mixed. A short loading rule posted at each pushback pallet rack row keeps new operators from splitting lanes.

If a handful of items run fifteen or more pallets deep and empty in planned sequence, compare a drive-in system in Dundalk. The truck enters the lane, so it stores more per footprint, though operators work slower inside the structure.

We are a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., which has supplied and installed rack across the region since 1997. Start with the Dundalk service area page or read the full pushback rack overview, then call for a free layout.
