Warehouse storage racks are indispensable equipment in the logistics process, but do you know what kind of storage racks should be chosen for your industry?
There are many ways to classify racks. According to the load capacity, they can be divided into light duty shelves, medium duty racks, and heavy duty racks. According to the height, they can be divided into low-level racks and high-level racks. According to the form, they can be divided into drive in racks, intensive racks, and rotary racks.
According to the load capacity:
Light duty shelves:
A highly versatile structural system that can be assembled at will to meet the needs of emergency use. It can be widely used in assembling light material shelves, workbenches, tool carts, suspension systems, insurance guards and support frames.
Medium duty racks:
Unique shape, reasonable structure, easy assembly and disassembly, no screws, and strong and strong, with large load-bearing capacity, widely used in stores and corporate warehouses.
Heavy duty racks:
Roll-formed with cold-rolled steel plates, no joints in the middle, large load-bearing capacity, not easy to deform, reliable connection, easy disassembly and assembly, use locking nails to prevent the forklift from lifting the beam when working, suitable for large warehouses.
According to the height:
Low-level racks:
Generally below 5 meters, suitable for ordinary warehouses.
High-rise racks:
Generally more than 10 meters, some as high as 20 meters, equipped with stackers and other storage equipment for storage operations, which can make storage management work fast and flexible, and are generally used for vertical warehouses.
According to the form:
Drive-in racks:
For forklifts or unmanned transport vehicles with forks can enter the channel to store and retrieve goods. Usually, the depth of single-sided retrieval should not exceed 7 cargo positions. Guide rails can be selected according to actual needs. The utilization rate of warehouse space can be increased by more than 30%. It is suitable for the storage of goods with few varieties and large batches. It is widely used in wholesale, cold storage, food and tobacco industries.
Intensive racks:
Combined with today’s Internet technology and intelligent control technology, the storage of goods can be intelligently controlled. It has the function of automatic telescopic racks. It can be adjusted according to the size of the warehouse during installation. Electronic products, valuables, fragile items, etc. can be stored in an orderly and efficient manner.
Rotating racks:
Equipped with an electric drive device, it can run along a circular track composed of two straight segments and two curved segments, and is controlled by a switch or a small electronic computer. When storing and retrieving goods, input the number of the warehouse storage rack where the goods are located by the control panel button, and the rack will automatically rotate to the picking point at the shortest distance. The picking route is short and the picking efficiency is high. It can be used in warehouses with high frequency of in and out of the warehouse and multi-variety picking.
In actual applications, there may be more classifications and various combinations of warehouse storage racks. The summary is only part of them, and more is left for you to play.
