Heavy duty cantilever rack is a common type of storage racking in warehousing systems and is widely used in warehouses and logistics industries. To ensure the normal operation of cantilever rack systems and the safe storage of goods, daily maintenance is very important. In this article, we will introduce the daily maintenance knowledge of cantilever racking to help you better protect the safety of goods.
Firstly, check the structural stability of the cantilever racking.
As heavy duty cantilever rack carries a large weight, it may become loose or deformed after a long time of use. Therefore, regularly check whether the post, cantilever arm plates, and connecting parts of cantilever racks are firm, and if they are loose or deformed, they should be repaired or replaced in time.
Secondly, keep the cantilever racking clean and tidy.
The warehouse environment is usually complex, dust, dirt, and other debris may be on the cantilever rack systems. Such debris not only affects the storage and retrieval of goods but may also lead to slippage or unstable stacking. Therefore, regular cleaning of cantilever racking and keeping its surface clean and tidy will help improve the safety of goods.
Thirdly, use the loading capacity of cantilever racking reasonably.
Each cantilever rack has its designed loading capacity, more than this loading capacity will cause serious damage to the rack, or even lead to the collapse of the rack. Therefore, in the use of heavy duty cantilever racks, should admit their loading capacity, should not be overloaded. At the same time, the reasonable distribution of the weight of the goods, heavy things placed in the bottom layer, and light things placed in the up layer, to maintain the balance and stability of the shelves.
Finally, regular training of warehouse staff on the use and maintenance of cantilever racking knowledge.
Warehouse staff should understand the basic structure and use of cantilever racking and the importance of daily maintenance. Regular training is organized to improve staff’s safety awareness and operating skills to reduce damage to goods and personal injury caused by improper operation.
