» How to install light duty storage shelves

Unlike the huge cantilever racks and mezzanine floors, light duty storage shelves have a compact shape, a solid structure, and a lighter weight than heavy duty warehouse racks. Light duty storage shelves are widely used, and suitable for light workplaces such as small parts and accessories. The load of each floor is mostly 100-150kg, mainly for manual handling, storage, and picking.

In small warehouses, light duty storage shelves have always had a place. However, the installation of light duty storage shelves is also a subject that needs to be understood. If you can understand the steps of light duty storage shelf assembly in advance, you will save a lot of time and energy in hands-on practice. How are light duty storage shelves installed?

Installation steps of light duty storage shelf

1. Check all parts

Before installation, we must check all the parts sent by the manufacturer. If multiple light duty storage shelves need to be installed, the number of columns, beams, and partition plates is very large. Calculate the columns, beams, and partitions required for a storage shelf, and place each one separately. Such a pre-installation preparation step can save a lot of time for subsequent installation.

2. Boltless rivet shelving is more convenient

Now, according to the consumer’s consumption tendency and use experience, the manufacturer most highly esteems not the bolt shelving, but the buckled light duty storage shelf. No welding has become one of the greatest advantages of light duty storage shelves. During the installation, the pipe shall be inserted into the appropriate interface without immediate tightening. Because the subsequent installation will often make some adjustments to the previously assembled parts.

3. Follow the steps to install

Light duty storage shelves should be installed in a certain order, rather than blindly assembled. First, install the frame at the bottom, and then add columns, beams, and diaphragms. After all the parts are installed, the untightened joints shall be found from bottom to top for final reinforcement and inspection. Not dropping every interface is the basis for stable load-bearing of light duty storage shelves.

The assembly of light shelves is simple, but this is an activity that requires careful operation by the installer. Some users assemble by themselves, but the shelf collapses when they use it, which may be caused by the lack of inspection of the joints in the early installation process. Grasp the skills of connection and install more light shelves, then you can operate with ease.
