Why do many people like medium-sized storage shelves
Medium sized storage shelves have become the choice of many enterprises and scenarios due to their balanced performance, flexible applicability, and high cost-effectiveness. The reasons for their popularity are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1、 Balance between load-bearing capacity and space utilization efficiency
Moderate load-bearing capacity, covering most needs: The single-layer load-bearing capacity of medium-sized shelves is usually between 200-800kg, which can meet the storage needs of small and medium-sized goods (such as boxed parts, e-commerce packages, daily chemical products), and is not as limited as lightweight shelves (load-bearing<200kg), nor does it need to bear the high cost of heavy-duty shelves (load-bearing>1000kg), suitable for most enterprises' daily storage scenarios.
Multi layer design, efficient use of space: Generally, 3-5 layers can be designed with moderate height (usually 2-5 meters), which can utilize the vertical space of the warehouse without relying on large forklifts (manual or small forklifts can operate), suitable for small and medium-sized warehouses or temporary storage areas in workshops.
2、 Flexible structure and strong adaptability
Easy to assemble and disassemble: It is mostly a combination structure (with detachable components such as columns, beams, and shelves), which does not require welding during installation. The height or shelf length can be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the goods and warehouse layout. It can also be reused during later expansion and relocation, reducing secondary investment costs.
Compatible with multiple storage methods: The shelves can be made of steel plates, wooden boards, or grid boards, which can store boxes of goods as well as loose parts, tools, small equipment, etc., suitable for various industries such as e-commerce, hardware, electronics, food, medical equipment, etc.
3、 Controllable cost and high cost-effectiveness
Moderate procurement cost: Compared to heavy-duty shelves (which require customized steel and complex structures), medium-sized shelves have lower material and manufacturing costs, affordable unit prices, and are suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises with limited budgets (such as startups and small warehouses).
Low maintenance cost: The structure is simple and the standardization of components is high. If a component is damaged (such as deformation of the laminate), it can be replaced separately without the need for overall scrapping, resulting in low long-term use costs.
4、 Easy to operate, low environmental requirements
No need for complex equipment: The floor height design meets the operating range of manual access or small handling equipment (such as ground oxen and aerial vehicles), without the need for professional storage equipment such as large forklifts or high-level shelves, reducing the requirements for warehouse space (such as channel width and height) and personnel skills.
Adaptable to various venues: The requirement for ground flatness is not high, and it can be quickly installed and used in cement floors, ordinary warehouses, or temporary workshop areas. Its flexibility far exceeds that of heavy-duty shelves with special requirements for foundations.
