Classification of warehouse shelves


Storage shelves are an important tool for improving the efficiency of modern warehouses. With the rapid economic development, a large number of foreign-funded enterprises have poured into my country’s Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta areas, which not only drove the development of the local economy, but also brought new management concepts and management techniques. At present, the types of shelves used in corporate warehouses are increasingly automated and intelligent.

Classification of storage shelves:

1. Cross-beam racks: The cross-beam racks are quick and convenient to store and store, ensuring that any items are first in, first out, no forklift type restrictions, faster pickup speed, and space utilization 30%-50% (depending on the forklift type).

2. Corridor type shelves: Corridor type shelves are characterized by high-density storage, first-in-last-out, partial pick-up, 20%-30% optional, pick-up speed is average, storage clearance can reach 60% of the entire warehouse %.

3. Gravity shelves: ideal for high-density storage of goods, free access design, extremely high inventory turnover rate, pick-up by order, fast pick-up, good ground utilization, storage net space station warehouse 60% .

4. Loft-style shelves: Loft-style shelves use shelves as floor support, which can be designed into multiple floors (usually 2-3 floors), equipped with stairs and cargo elevators, etc., suitable for tall warehouses and light and small cargo. Manual access. Use hoist and hydraulic lifting platform in case of large storage volume.

5. Light-duty rack: plug-in combined structure, standard set of plug-ins, no need for a connecting bolt, convenient and quick to disassemble, super-strong closed steel layer structure, the height of each layer can be adjusted arbitrarily every 50mm, and the load of each layer is 150-250 kg .

6. Medium-sized shelf: The medium-sized shelf adopts the structure of beams and laminates, which can carry 300-500kg. The beams have a variety of cross-sections. The structural parts can be freely assembled and disassembled. The height of the layer can be adjusted. The adjustment distance is 50mm.

7. Through-type shelves: Through-type shelves are also called “drive-in shelves” or “corridor shelves”. This is a continuous whole building shelf that is not divided by aisles. On the supporting rails, the trays are stored in the depth direction, one after the other, which makes high-density storage possible. The goods are in and out from the same side of the shelf, “store first, then take, and then take first, store”. The reach forklift can easily drive into the middle of the shelf to store and retrieve the goods. Drive-in racks have relatively low investment costs, and are suitable for situations where the horizontal size is large, the variety is small, the quantity is large, and the cargo access mode can be predetermined. It is often used to store large quantities of the same type of cargo. Because of its high storage density and high utilization of ground space, it is often used in cold storage and other places with high storage space costs. There is a small variety but a large quantity of goods. Each opening has a variety, first in first or first in first out. The handling vehicle can drive inside to pick up the goods. The supporting structure is stable and easy to slide. The unit load is 200kg~1000kg.
