The entire warehouse storage rack is also connected to the ground through expansion bolts, which are stable and reliable. Although heavy duty racks have brought us great convenience, we cannot ignore their safety issues when using them.

1. Anti-collision of heavy duty racks.

When storing and retrieving goods, heavy duty racks often use transportation equipment such as forklifts. In this case, special attention should be paid to prevent the forklift from hitting the rack. Anti-collision guardrails should be set up, and the goods should be handled with care during the operation of the forklift to reduce the collision between the handling equipment and the warehouse storage racks​ and reduce the damage rate.

 

2. Anti-overloading of heavy duty racks.

Although heavy duty racks have a heavy load capacity, there is also an upper limit. When placing goods, we must remember not to exceed the load capacity of the warehouse storage racks​ to prevent the rack from deforming, collapsing, or other abnormal conditions due to excessive load-bearing.

 

3. Heavy duty racks should prevent top-heavy.

When using heavy duty racks, you should follow the rules for storing goods, and put light on the upper floors and heavy on the lower floors, that is, from top to bottom, from light to heavy, to prevent the phenomenon of top-heavy, so as not to cause the warehouse storage racks to lose balance and cause safety hazards.

 

4. The goods placed on heavy duty racks cannot be too high or too wide.

When placing goods, we must pay attention to the size of the goods, and they cannot be too high or too wide. The size of the pallet and goods should be slightly smaller than the net space by 100mm. When there are goods on the warehouse storage racks, operators should try not to enter the bottom directly.

 

5. Heavy duty racks should replace damaged beams and columns in time.

During the use of heavy duty racks, the beams and columns of the warehouse storage racks​ may be damaged. When damage is found, the manufacturer should be notified in time to replace them. Do not take chances and bury safety hazards.
