There are many factors that affect the service life of storage racks, such as: warehouse temperature, humidity, light, ventilation conditions, etc. For example, if the humidity in the warehouse is too high, it will cause the storage racks to rust, reduce the load-bearing capacity of the racks, and reduce the service life. So what should be done to extend the service life of storage racks?
1. Apply protective paint regularly
Apply protective paint regularly to reduce rust. Carry out daily inspections and fix any loose screws in time. Do a good job of timely ventilation to ensure that the warehouse is not overly humid.
2. Avoid excessive sunlight exposure
Avoid excessive sunlight exposure, ventilate the storage racks reasonably, prevent wet goods from being placed on the racks, and try to drain and dehumidify.
3. Equipped with anti-collision guardrails
Equip a set of anti-collision columns according to different racks, channel widths and transportation tools. Light duty shelves at the channel are equipped with anti-collision guardrails.
4. Use within the load-bearing range of the racks
The weight of the goods placed on the storage racks must be within the load-bearing capacity of the racks. It is best for warehouse managers to mark the load-bearing limit on the storage racks. The principle of heavy bottom and light top of the racks should be followed, that is, heavy objects are placed on the bottom and light objects are placed on the upper floors.
5. Transfer goods are operated by certified personnel
Heavy-duty and high-rise rack warehouses must be equipped with power pushers, and the use and operation of pushers must be operated by certified personnel. Most of the deformation of storage rack columns is caused by improper use of pushers by operators.
6. Establish a rack use system
Regulations on rack use. Different warehouses and different goods have different ways of using storage racks in each warehouse. Warehouse managers must formulate storage rack use regulations so that every rack user can learn and abide by them. This is the ultimate way to achieve the goal.
