Storage racks are strictly scientifically calculated during production, and the load-bearing value of each layer is standardized. Common light duty shelves carry about 200 kilograms, medium duty shelves carry about 300 kilograms, and heavy duty racks generally carry 500 kilograms. This value is the result of strict scientific calculations and rigorous pressure tests, and is a safe value that can ensure the long-term storage of a certain weight of goods on the rack. If this standard is not followed, it may cause a serious accident.
How long can drive through racks generally be used? If you strictly abide by this load-bearing rule when using the warehouse rack, and do not use it overweight or in excess, you can ensure that the rack is safe within the theoretical life, and even exceed the theoretical life. It can still continue to be used for a period of time. We do not advocate overload use). For some old customers, some storage racks can even be used for more than ten years, and the beams will not have any deformation or bending problems, and even the paint surface has not fallen off much. This is thanks to their warehouse managers who strictly store goods according to the standards we set.
If heavy-duty storage racks are not used correctly and goods exceeding the specified weight are placed, the consequences will not only damage the storage rack life, but even very dangerous things will happen. We have also seen such things. Generally, the load-bearing capacity of a rack is a theoretical safety value, but the brand racks of large warehouse storage rack manufacturers generally have a safety factor value. It is safe to store for a certain period of time and for a short period of time within this value range. It is dangerous to exceed these two values.
Any commodity has its own service life, and warehouse rack products are no exception. Although many testing instruments can now detect the quality of racks and can identify tiny cracks that are invisible to the naked eye. However, some problems of the product are difficult to accurately detect with current instruments, so for safety reasons, I suggest that the storage racks should be replaced when they reach the specified service life. Safety issues are no small matter, and this should be kept in mind.
