» Factors affecting warehouse storage rack layout

Warehouse racks are important fixed assets for enterprise cargo storage. Warehouses need to store and retrieve goods. Using storage racks is a good management tool. There are many types of warehouse racks. Only by choosing the storage racks that suit your company can you carry out effective cargo management. To know the layout of warehouse racks, you must first confirm the rack type.

According to the characteristics of the goods

The specifications and weight of the goods of each enterprise are different. Warehouse storage racks can be purchased according to the characteristics of the goods. For example, you can choose light duty storage shelves for electronic spare parts. They can be placed on each layer using plastic boxes. The weight of each layer can reach 500 kilograms per layer. It can have more than 4 layers, and the height of each layer is adjustable. In addition, heavy goods stored on pallets can be stored on beam pallet racks, which can bear up to 2 tons per layer and are suitable for most goods storage. If the company feels that warehouse space is a big problem, it can choose to customize the mezzanine floor rack. The storage space is doubled from the original space, but the warehouse height is preferably above 3.8, so that effective cargo turnover can be achieved both on the upper and lower platforms. Different types of goods can be stored using different types of warehouse racks. For example, cantilever racks can be used for long steel products, mold racks can be used for molds, etc.

According to warehouse equipment and environment

The layout of warehouse racks is also determined by the warehouse equipment and environment. If you use ordinary manual forklifts, you cannot use high-level racks, but mezzanine floor racks can very well meet the storage of some scattered goods. If you use a motorized forklift or a high-level rack, If you don’t have a ladder, you can use high-level pallet racks to increase cargo storage space. Secondly, some load-bearing columns and cargo entrances and exits of the warehouse must also be considered in the warehouse layout. The entry and exit channels for forklifts and cargo entrances and exits must be designed according to local conditions.

Therefore, only by customizing the racks can we design the layout of the warehouse racks and the quotation of the racks. Welcome to consult!
