For a customer who does not know much about storage rack solutions, making a warehouse racking solution is such a headache. Because warehouse planning seems simple, there are many factors that need to be taken into consideration. Even the choice of pallet shelves and forklifts are in order. As a purchaser, should he first consider whether to buy a shelf or a forklift after receiving the task of a warehouse shelving project?

In general, the type of cargo that needs to be accessed by a forklift is basically based on heavy shelves. However, because of the differences in the racks and shelves structure of heavy duty pallet rack shelving and the differences in shipping frequencies, access methods, etc., different types of racking system in warehouse require different types of forklift trucks. For example, the forklift that the very narrow aisle racking systems need to use is a three-way stacker. The forklifts that fit into the drive in racking systems are counterweight forklifts and so on. Therefore, different storage shelves have different requirements for the use of forklifts.

However, when designing warehouse racking solutions, it is not clear to the person who purchases the warehouse shelving for the first time. What kind of storage rack is designed by the warehouse storage racks manufacturers? If the forklift is purchased in advance, it will limit the type of pallet shelves, thus causing the inadequate use of the warehouse shelf. And once the shelf solution is changed, the forklift cannot be used, resulting in the waste of resources!

As a racking systems manufacturers, we usually make it clear whether customers have forklift trucks before designing warehouse shelf solutions. If so, we will design the warehouse racking solutions according to the customer’s existing forklift trucks so that customers’ resources can be fully utilized. After all, forklift trucks and storage shelves are all important parts of the pallet warehouse . Just like shoes and feet, the right one is the most important!

Hope you find the rack shelving system which is most suitable for your warehouse!
