What Type of Warehouse are Heavy-duty Shelves Suitable for?

  Heavy-duty shelves, also known as beam-type shelves, belong to the category of pallet shelves and are the most common type of shelves in various storage shelf systems. This type of shelf is assembled in the form of columns + beams, and can be equipped with partitions, steel plates, wire mesh layers, storage cages and other accessories. The columns of the heavy-duty shelves are made of hot-rolled plates, so the load-bearing capacity of the shelves is large, each layer of which exceeds 500Kg.

  Whether the goods are multiple types items, or large-volume products, you can use heavy-duty warehouse shelves to store commodities. Those large ones can be directly stored on the beam shelf that are with pallets, and small ones can be stored on the shelves which are using storage cages, steel boxes, etc. The height of each layer can be freely adjusted, 75mm per move.

The span of each unit is generally within 4m, the depth is within 1.5m, and the height of  shelf used in high-rise warehouses is generally within 12m.

   Merchants usually use pallets, storage cages, and other devices to store goods on shelves. The standard load of each layer is generally between 800kg and 4000kg, and each layer holds two units of goods.

   

  Features of Heavy Duty Shelves

1. The structure is firm: as the shelves are generally made of cold-rolled steel, and the columns are made of 80 (90) x60 (70) Ω steel with diamond-shaped holes on the surface, which can support large-weight and large-volume goods, and ensure the safety of the goods.

2. Large capacity: Heavy-duty shelves are usually used to store bulky goods, such as auto parts and mechanical equipment.

3. Adjustable: There are holes on the columns, and the height and width of the heavy-duty shelves can be adjusted according to different needs to accommodate goods of different sizes.

4. Safety: The shelves adopt strong beams, columns and connectors to ensure the stability and safety of the shelves.

5. Easy to manage: the goods are placed in categories, and operators can easily check and take out the stored items, making warehouse management more efficient.

Due to its many advantages, heavy-duty shelves are most widely used in high-rise warehouses and ultra-high-rise warehouses (Those automated three-dimensional warehouses use this kind of shelves).

 

  Those Warehouse Equipped with Heavy-duty Shelves

1. Manufacturing Warehouse: Heavy-duty rack is a popular type of racking for storing heavy and bulky goods.

2. Factory: Heavy-duty racks are usually the first choice for factories to store machinery and equipment.

3. Supermarkets: Supermarkets use heavy-duty shelves to store large quantities of food and other daily necessities.

  Heavy-duty shelves are a very practical storage device. As its beam is special, cold-rolled, P-shaped and closed-end, this structure makes the shelf itself light in weight and strong in bearing capacity. It can bear large weight and volume of products, making the utilization rate of warehouses higher. As for its many advantages, heavy-duty shelves have become one of the most common and widely used racks, suitable for most warehouses or goods.
