Shelf structure in various forms, according to site-specific flexible design, load-bearing capacity is also customized, only to meet the larger load-bearing requirements can be, load-bearing is too large, may cause unnecessary waste. So, what kind of shelf needed for logistics warehouse planning?

According to the form of storage items to choose, the commonly used types of shelves can be simply divided into: shelving racks and beam type shelves.



First, the shelf type shelves:


In layman's terms, shelving is in the beam shelves on the steel or wood laminate, shelving is evolved from the beam shelves. Shelf racking is what we usually call assembled shelves, generally for manual pickup, put some loose parts, packaged goods. The height is designed according to the height of the person, usually about 2 meters, in order to facilitate manual access. Its structure is assembled structure, can be loaded and unloaded, easy to relocate, layer height can be adjusted, the number of layers can be increased or decreased, laminate generally have wood and steel laminate two kinds.


According to the different load-bearing capacity of each layer, can be divided into light partition shelves, medium-sized shelves, heavy-duty shelves three categories:

1. light partition shelves (light shelves)

This type of shelving each layer of load-bearing 200kg or less, the height of 2 meters or less, the width of more than 0.6 meters or less, the length of 2 meters or so. The material is universal angle steel, connection using rivets link, simple and practical appearance. Mainly used to place some small goods, can be used in warehouses, offices and so on.



2. Medium-sized shelving (medium-sized shelves)

Medium-sized shelves with a load capacity of 200kg to 800kg per layer, with a length of less than 3 meters, a width of not more than 1 meter and a height of not more than 3 meters. The material is cold rolled steel. Medium-sized shelves are divided into a-type shelves and b-type shelves. No beam for the a-type shelves, some belong to the b-type shelves, generally speaking, medium-sized shelves is referred to in the b-type shelves. Medium-sized racking load-bearing moderate, so widely used in all walks of life.



3. Heavy-duty shelving (heavy-duty shelving)

Heavy-duty shelves with a load capacity of 800kg to 2,000kg per layer and a length of 3 meters or less. Width of about 1.2 meters, there is no limit to the height. Shelf type can be manually accessed, higher than the part of the general use of pallets, with the use of forklifts. This type of racking is more common in large warehouses and logistics centers.



Second, beam type racking


Beam storage racking is a professional storage racking for the purpose of accessing palletized goods (each pallet is a cargo space, so it is also known as cargo space racking); beam storage racking consists of columns, beams, transverse bracing, diagonal bracing, beam storage racking structure is simple, safe and reliable. According to the user's actual use: pallet load requirements, pallet size, the actual space of the warehouse, the actual lifting height of the forklift truck, to provide different specifications of the beam type storage racking for choice.


Beam racking belongs to heavy-duty shelves, shelves due to the convenience of picking to any of the goods stored in the cargo space, also known as picking shelves (picking shelves), cargo space shelves, palletized shelves, etc. Beam racking structure is stable, strong and durable, easy to dismantle and install, suitable for any goods, is widely used in e-commerce logistics, bonded warehouses, third-party logistics, factories and mines, warehouses and so on, is the automation of three-dimensional warehouses to use the more storage shelves.

Structural characteristics of beam racking (pallet racking):

1. safe, firm and reliable, simple and beautiful structure, can be adjusted and installed according to the site conditions, the goods in and out of the warehouse is not affected by the order of precedence, convenient and efficient, widely used in pallet storage, forklift access to the warehousing model.

2. Columns are bolted together with columns, cross braces and diagonal braces. Pillar piece and hold welding beams using plug-in combination structure to form the shelf frame, beams and columns are fixed with safety pins, this structure is not only easy to transport and handling. This structure is not only convenient for transportation and handling, but also can be adjusted freely according to the height of the goods by 75mm or 50mm steps up and down to meet the storage requirements of different heights of goods. 3.

3. With the size of column and beam specifications to determine the layer load requirements, the beam adopts the special C-type buckle beam structure, the shelf beam has a large moment of inertia, layer load capacity, impact resistance, light weight and low cost characteristics.

4. Beam type racking single column height of up to 12 meters, pallet racking plasticity is very large, on the basis of pallet racking can be built mold racking, attic racking, three-dimensional storage racking, and so on.

5. Not only effectively improve the storage height of the warehouse, but also improve the utilization rate of the warehouse space.

6. can be configured with column guard feet, anti-collision bar, anti-collision guardrail, etc., to prevent forklifts traveling in the channel to hit the racking columns, in order to improve the safety of pallets used for racking, but also in the beam configuration of beam shelves (cross beam), steel laminate, wood, laminate net (steel laminate net) and other ancillary facilities.

7. Because it can be conveniently picked to any of the goods stored in the cargo space, storage of goods convenient and efficient, to meet any goods any warehouse use, is the universal shelf in the storage rack.



As the shelving industry continues to improve, the warehousing field presents two major innovative development directions: one is to store as the goal, its project characteristics tend to be dense, high, large; the second is to pick as the goal, its project characteristics tend to be efficiency, flexibility, personalization.

Projects with the goal of storage are basically traditional shelf projects; projects with the goal of picking, in order to achieve personalized and efficient picking, new intelligent robots continue to emerge, which can achieve more and more complex and intelligent actions. For example, small picking robots that can realize X/Y/Z three-way movement on shelves, and stacking machines that can realize fully automated picking.

In fact, shelves and shelves between the beam is also inextricably linked, the difference between the two storage shelves on the store does not store laminate, so customers in the procurement of storage shelves according to their actual use to determine whether to use shelves shelves or beam shelves.
