How to extend the use time of storage shelves?

May 23, 2022

With the rapid development of the modern logistics industry, the utilization rate of logistics auxiliary equipment storage shelves as the basis of the logistics industry is also getting higher and higher.


The storage shelves are generally made of metal, which has a certain load-bearing strength and can withstand the pressure of the goods.


In many cases, it is not necessary to pay attention to the appearance of shelf products like other products, but the stability of the shelf, process problems, and the use time of warehouse shelves have gradually become the concerns of consumers who buy warehouse shelves. We all know that any product has its expiration date. If it is used continuously beyond this limit, it is easy to cause various problems, and even endanger personal safety.


There are many factors that affect the service life of storage shelves, such as the temperature, humidity, light, ventilation conditions of the warehouse, etc. If the humidity of the warehouse is too high, it will cause the shelves to rust, reduce the load-bearing capacity of the shelves, and reduce the service life. So what should we do to extend the service life of storage shelves?


How warehouse managers maintain storage shelves:


1. Regularly apply protective paint to reduce rust, do daily inspections, and fix in time whether there are loose screws, do timely ventilation, and keep the warehouse from being excessively damp.

2. Avoid excessive sunlight, ventilate the shelves reasonably, prevent wet goods from being placed on the shelves, and try to drain and dehumidify.


3. Equipped with a set of anti-collision columns according to different shelves, aisle widths and conveying tools. Install crash barriers at access locations.


4. The weight of the goods placed on the shelves must be within the load-bearing capacity of the shelves. Warehouse cargo handlers mark the load-bearing limit on the shelves. It is necessary to follow the principle of light weight at the bottom of the shelf, that is, put heavy objects on the bottom and light objects on the top.


5. Heavy-duty and high-rise warehouses must be equipped with powered push-up carts, and the use and operation of push-up carts must only be operated by licensed personnel. Most of the deformation of the warehouse rack columns is caused by the use of push carts by non-designated personnel.


6. Specify the shelf use system. Different warehouses, different goods, and the shelves of each warehouse have different ways to use them. Warehouse managers must formulate a shelf use system, and let every shelf user learn and abide by it, which is the way to achieve their goals.
