The characteristic of logistics storage racks is that each pallet can be stored or moved independently, and warehouse racks can make the loading and unloading process of goods easier and faster. It can adapt to various types of goods, and the height of the beam can be adjusted according to the size of the goods, making full use of the upper space of the warehouse. The supporting facilities are simple, the cost is low, and the installation and removal are very convenient.

The logistics storage shelves are made of steel plates, and the surface is treated with electrostatic spraying, which is anti-corrosion/rust-proof/sturdy and beautiful. Its various specifications and internal force designs can meet the use requirements of factories, warehouses, assembly lines, warehouses and supermarkets. The shelf is ideal when the shelf is required to support the weight of 100-150kg per floor, it can also be used as a platform, so the light shelf is suitable for factories to store light products and warehouse supermarkets. The plug-type assembly, installation and disassembly are convenient and widely used.

What are the points that should be paid attention to when choosing logistics storage shelves?

(1) Plant structure (available height | beam and column position | floor conditions | fire protection facilities)

Optional shelves for storage equipment should consider the effective height under the beam to determine the shelf height. The position of the beam and column affects the lathe configuration. It is related to the strength of the floor, the flatness of the floor, and the design and installation of the shelf. In addition, the location of fire protection facilities and lighting facilities should also be considered.

The shape and size of the deposit are directly related to the selection of shelf specifications, and the weight of the deposit directly affects the strength of the shelf to be selected. In what unit is the storage unit stored? There are different types of racking options for pallets (pallets), warehouse cages or items. Additionally, to estimate the total storage count, the company's growth needs over the next two years need to be considered. This information can be obtained through storage system analysis, or professional advice can be requested prior to design.

(3) Accessibility

Typical access and storage densities are relative. That is, in order to obtain high storage densities, one needs to sacrifice relative sacrificial item accessibility. While some forms of racking have higher storage densities, they are complex compared to slot management and often fail to have first-in, first-out control. The better one is, of course, the three-dimensional automatic warehouse, which can be developed upward, with high accessibility and storage density, but the investment cost is relatively high. Therefore, choosing which storage device to choose can be said to be a compromise of various factors and an application of strategy. Accessibility and storage density comparisons for each storage device can be asked over the phone.

(4) Loading and unloading equipment (counterweight | horizontal tower | channel width | lifting height | lifting weight | turning radius)

Access to storage devices is performed as a host device. Therefore, the selection of storage equipment should also consider handling equipment. The stacker is a typical handling equipment, and the width of the shelf channel directly affects the selection of the stacker (counterweight or narrow aisle).

(5) The number of detections (first in, first out | access frequency | number of visits)

Some styles of racks have good storage density, but the output is not high, which is suitable for low-frequency work. The high out-of-stock quantity is a very important data, which is a consideration for the selection of the shelf format.
