How to know the stability of the beam rack


To gain a deeper understanding of the stability of the beam shelf, you need to know the height and depth ratio of the beam shelf. This is applicable to any type of storage shelf.

The use frequency of beam shelves in storage racks is relatively high among all storage rack types, and it has the characteristics of heavy bearing capacity, wide range of height adaptation, mechanical access, and high selection efficiency. It is widely used in manufacturing, third-party logistics and other fields, not only for multi-variety and small-batch items, but also for small-variety and high-volume items.

A commonly used form of storage racking is the beam-type pallet rack, which adopts a convenient unitized pallet storage and retrieval method, which effectively cooperates with forklift loading and unloading. It is convenient and fast to access goods and is an economical choice for first-in first-out.

The beam type rack is welded together by two column clamps and beam rods. The beam is welded by two pieces of special welding beams, which doubles the thickness of the upper and lower beams. This material is a better material .

1. The shelf load range is relatively wide, and the layer load of the beam type shelf can reach 4000kg/layer, which greatly meets the needs of many enterprises;

2. A lot of accessories can be added, including corner protectors, mesh laminates, tie rods between frames, etc., which fully meets the concerns of various types of enterprises;

3. The production cost of beam type shelves will be lower than that of other heavy-duty racking products, so the threshold for entering the enterprise of beam type shelves is relatively low, so many companies are willing to use this type of shelf;

4. The beam type shelf is applicable to a wide range, basically applicable to any type of warehouse;

5. Cross-beam racks have low requirements for the matched forklifts, as long as the lifting height, limit turning radius and fork feet can meet the requirements of the rack, and this greatly reduces the investment cost of the enterprise;

6. The beam type rack has a simple structure, mainly the frame and the beam, which is more convenient to assemble;

The height-to-depth ratio defined by the Shelf Manufacturers Association is 6:1. When the height-to-depth ratio of the beam shelf exceeds 6:1, special base plates and certain overhead relationships are required. Of course, sufficient space and reservation of loading and unloading areas are also crucial. Therefore, when considering the design of Shenzhen warehouse shelves, it is necessary to understand that products must be processed, classified, labelled, etc., more space needs to be allowed, and forklifts need to be turned from semi-trailers and turn around. Although we will all face forever There is not enough space to plan the problem of loading and unloading area, but we must try to achieve sufficient distance between single-row shelves. Otherwise, it will cause chaos in and out of the goods.

How to calculate it? The height to depth ratio of a single row of racks is the distance from the floor to the top beam horizontally divided into the depth to depth ratio of the frame. For example, the height of the ring beam is 180 inches (15), and the depth is 42 inches (3’6”). To determine the height to depth ratio, 180 divided by 42=4.28. 4.28 to 1 is considered in the standard range, and normal anchors are used for non-seismic applications.
