It is the most commonly used storage rack in warehouses, and the rack itself has good picking efficiency, which can achieve fast storage and retrieval of goods. So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of high-level storage racks?
Advantages of high-level storage racks
1. High:
Foreign high-level storage rack warehouses are generally over 10m in height, with some reaching over 40 meters. The height of the storage racks can be adjusted. The use of three-dimensional warehouses has greatly improved the storage capacity per unit area of the warehouse.
2. Quick:
It means fast material transportation. The warehouse is equipped with a complete set of loading and unloading machinery, and the storage racks can be disassembled and adjusted. The elevator can operate continuously up, down, left, and right through multiple alleys to load and retrieve goods from any storage rack.
3. Spirit:

Disadvantages of high-level storage racks
1. High-level storage racks require a large amount of steel, requiring high installation accuracy, making construction difficult, and the construction period relatively long.
2. Once the control system malfunctions, the entire warehouse will be in a paralyzed state, and the sending and receiving operations will be interrupted.
3. The requirements for warehouse space are high, and the floors of the warehouse must reach a certain height, and the position of load-bearing columns is more convenient for the installation of storage racks; The requirements for supporting facilities in the warehouse are high, and high-level inventory must use a stacker loading and unloading system, or an expensive forklift type.

Enterprises need to consider their own product types and warehouse area size to determine which storage racks are more suitable. Expensive ones are not necessarily good, but suitable ones are good.
