When selecting warehouse racks, one is to consider the comparison between their cost and benefits, one is to consider whether the stability of the racks meets the standard, and the other is to consider the range of load-bearing capacity of the warehouse racks. So what is the relationship between heavy-duty racks’ load-bearing capacity and thickness?
Load-bearing capacity and shelf thickness of heavy duty racks
If you observe carefully, you will find that compared to the materials for light, medium, and heavy duty racks, the selection of materials for heavy duty racks is much thicker in thickness compared to light duty shelf and medium duty racks. The thicker the shelf, the stronger the stability of the beams and columns, and the less prone they are to bend. These can effectively improve the load-bearing capacity of heavy duty racks. Let’s compare the load and thickness of three types of warehouse racks: light, medium, and heavy. Light duty storage shelves can hold 100-200kg/layer, medium duty racks can hold 300-500kg/layer, and heavy duty racks can hold 1000kg/layer; The material thickness used for light duty shelf columns is generally 0.5mm, medium 0.6mm, and heavy 1.0mm. The thicker the material, the higher the bearing capacity naturally.
Stability of heavy duty racks
In addition to good load-bearing capacity, the stability of racks is also particularly important, as stability can greatly affect the load-bearing capacity of racks. Moreover, good rack stability can better protect stored goods and reduce safety hazards for warehouse staff. The stability of racks is a prerequisite for the safe load-bearing of racks. Only on the basis of stability can racks provide reliable support for the production and life of enterprises, and stability is also one of the main problems of warehouse racks.
In fact, all racks have certain commonalities and differences. Only by selecting the appropriate rack can we ensure the efficiency of enterprise warehouse work and bring better convenience and efficiency to the enterprise. This is also one of the fundamental reasons why every customer wants to customize and purchase warehouse racks.
