Warehouse shelves are essential to warehouse management. More and more companies are aware of the functions and benefits of warehouse shelves. Here, KEENPACE introduces four common warehouse shelves for your reference.
Long span shelving
The main components of shelf racks include columns, beams and shelves. The specific dimensions are designed according to site constraints and storage project planning. It is very suitable for storing manually transported items. The load-bearing capacity of each layer is 150-1000 kg. Parts boxes, cartons or turnover boxes can also be placed on laminates for easy storage of loose items. This kind of shelf is usually used by some manual storage and low warehouse users. Convenient production and installation, short delivery time.
pallet racks
The main components of pallet racks include columns and beams. The goods are first stored on pallets and then on the shelves. It is very suitable for pallet goods that require forklift assistance. The load-bearing capacity of each layer can reach more than 5 tons. In planning and design, the size of the pallet, the maximum height that the forklift can lift, and the net height that the warehouse can use should be considered. This kind of shelf floor height is adjustable, can adapt to the change of goods packaging specifications, and is widely used in bulk warehouses.
Mezzanine floor racking systems
The main components of the attic shelf include pillars, beams and floors. In the specific planning and design, the height of the top shelf is generally about 2m, and the floor spacing is generally between 2.3 m and 2.8 m. According to the needs of users and the actual situation of the site, each square meter can carry a load of 300-500 kg. This kind of shelf is usually used by some manual storage and high warehouse users. It can be used for storage on the first floor, office on the second floor or both. Forklifts, hydraulic lifting platforms or freight elevators can transport goods to the second and third floors.
Cantilever rack
The main components of the cantilever rack are the column and the cantilever. The goods can be hung on the cantilever or spread on the cantilever. Very suitable for storing plates, pipes, cables and irregular objects. A single arm can carry 1,000 kg, depending on the actual situation. However, the shelf height is limited, generally less than 6 meters. Some warehouses used for manual storage and forklift handling are suitable for this kind of shelf.
