Our client, a prominent meat processing company, was facing the complexities of limited warehouse space while managing oversized pallets. They needed optimized storage without compromising accessibility or operational flow. In response, Solico engineered a solution (push back racking system) that addressed these constraints and transformed the client’s logistical landscape.

The challenge: constrained space meets oversized pallets
As the facility was growing, it was faced with a challenge: limited space and oversized pallets. The large pallets needed for meat storage made the cramped area difficult to manage, creating a bottleneck that threatened productivity. They needed to make the most of the tight space while accommodating the unusually large pallets, which traditional storage solutions couldn’t handle effectively.
The solution: push back system
Solico made a strategic decision to implement their innovative pushback system from design to manufacturing and installation, for the meat processing company because it perfectly addressed the dual challenges of limited space and oversized pallets. Unlike traditional racking solutions, the pushback system maximizes storage density by using inclined rails that allow pallets to slide back and forth, thus eliminating the need for wide aisles and making full use of vertical space. This approach not only accommodated the oversized pallets efficiently but also enhanced access with its FIFO (First In, First Out) principle, crucial for maintaining smooth operations. By increasing storage capacity without expanding the facility’s physical footprint, the pushback system delivered significant cost savings and operational improvements, making it an ideal solution for the space constraints of food industry clients.
The outcome: a transformed warehouse with push back system
The pushback system we implemented in Balzac made a real difference for the mea t processing company. The warehouse now operates much more efficiently, with better storage capacity and easier access to inventory. Our goal at Solico is to provide smart, tailored storage solutions that fit each unique situation. We’re proud to have helped optimize their space and improve productivity.
