Abstract
A shelf allocation and management system for allocating shelf space among rows of products and for moving the rows of products towards the front of the shelf is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of adjacent side rail assemblies positioned along the shelf extending from front to back. Each side rail assembly includes a generally flat base rail and a rigid divider attached to and extended away from the base rail, wherein at least one row of products may be positioned between the dividers of adjacent side rail assemblies. An unbiased backstop assembly is positioned between dividers of adjacent side rail assemblies, wherein the backstop assembly is movable between the front and back of the shelf and is adapted to advance at least one row of products toward the front of the shelf. A rigid puller member positioned between the dividers of adjacent side rail assemblies is associated with the backstop assembly. The puller member is adapted to be manually moved to advance the backstop assembly least towards the front of the shelf, but to leave the backstop assembly undisturbed when the puller member is pushed towards the rear of the shelf. A loader is also disclosed which is adapted to align with the shelf allocation and management system to provide for efficient and rapid restocking of product.
