What are the advantages of heavy-duty storage shelves
Heavy duty storage shelves are shelf systems used for storing bulk and heavy goods. Their advantages are mainly reflected in carrying capacity, space utilization, operational efficiency, safety, flexibility, etc., as follows:
1、 Carrying capacity
1. High load design
Each layer of a single shelf can carry up to 1 ton to 5 tons or more, and even higher (depending on the steel specifications and structural design), suitable for storing heavy goods such as mechanical parts, industrial equipment, palletized goods, etc.
Using thickened steel (such as Q235B hot-rolled steel) and reinforced crossbeam and column structures (such as lap welded beams and stepped columns) to ensure uniform load distribution and strong deformation resistance.
2、 High space utilization rate
Stereoscopic storage structure
The shelf height can reach 5 meters to 15 meters or more, and with the help of forklifts and other equipment, multi-level vertical storage can be achieved, greatly improving the utilization of warehouse space (saving more than 50% of space compared to flat stacking).
Support multi row parallel or wall mounted layout, fully utilizing the vertical and horizontal space of the warehouse, especially suitable for high-level warehouses.
3、 Homework efficiency and management convenience
1. Adaptability to mechanized operations
The shelf passage is spacious and can accommodate forklifts (such as balance weight forklifts, stackers) or AGV carts, achieving fast access and handling of goods and reducing labor costs.
Goods are stored in layers and zones, and with the help of a warehouse management system (WMS), information management can be achieved for easy inventory counting, sorting, and tracking.
2. Corresponding support
Some types (such as tray racks) can be designed as one-way channels to ensure that goods enter and exit in batch order, avoid inventory backlog, and are suitable for goods that are sensitive to shelf life (such as food and medicine).
4、 Structural safety and reliability
1. Strong impact resistance and stability
The bottom of the column is equipped with a metal base and expansion bolts, fixed to the ground to enhance overall stability; The crossbeam and column are connected by snap fasteners or bolts, with strong resistance to forklift collisions.
Optional anti-collision corner protectors, guardrails and other safety accessories can be selected to reduce damage to the shelves during the operation process.
2. Seismic and Fire Protection Design
The structure meets the design standards for industrial shelves (such as GB/T 28576, AS/NZS 4084). In some scenarios, the seismic performance can be improved by adding slant support and optimizing the column spacing; The material is mostly steel, with better fire resistance than wooden shelves.
5、 Flexibility and Scalability
1. Modular combination design
The shelf height, width, and length can be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the goods (such as increasing or decreasing the height of the crossbeam in units of 50mm or 75mm), to meet the storage needs of different specifications of pallets or goods.
System expansion can be achieved by increasing the number or height of shelves, without the need to re plan warehouse layout, which is suitable for warehouse expansion during enterprise business growth.
2. Multi scenario applicability
Widely used in industrial warehouses, logistics centers, e-commerce warehousing, manufacturing workshops and other scenarios, it can be used with pallets, storage cages and other equipment, compatible with various types of goods (bulk, box, barrel, etc.).
6、 Cost benefit advantage
1. Long term durability reduces replacement costs
Excellent steel and surface treatment processes (such as electrostatic spraying and galvanizing) ensure that the shelf has a service life of more than 10 years, strong resistance to rust and wear, and reduces the frequency of equipment updates.
2. Improve warehouse turnover rate
Efficient storage and space utilization can shorten the time for goods to enter and exit the warehouse, improve warehouse turnover, and indirectly reduce inventory management costs.
