How to avoid collision between forklift and rack column？
Nowadays, major enterprises have an increasing demand for warehouse storage capacity, which has caused corporate warehouses to change from traditional storage methods to now using storage racks to increase storage capacity. Mezzanine platforms are one of the largest storage racks to increase warehouse storage capacity. Many enterprise warehouses are in use. Mezzanine floor rack processing is suitable for placing large, medium, and small products, as well as products with uniform specifications. They are easy to classify, convenient quick to pick up goods, and have a solid structure. They can meet the storage and centralized management needs of large quantities of goods, and a wide variety of goods, and cooperate with mechanical handling. Tools can also keep storage and transportation in order.
The warehouse is originally a place where goods are stored. Forklifts and racks are two essential logistics equipment. The design of the warehouse rack is closely related to the operation of the forklift when loading and unloading goods. Collisions also happen from time to time, so how to avoid collisions between forklifts and warehouse rack columns?
1. Reserve space
Before designing, discuss the specifications of the forklift with the rack manufacturer. The warehouse rack design engineer can reserve more space so that the staff has more space when operating the forklift, thereby protecting the mezzanine floor.
2. Make a mark
Making some obvious markings in the warehouse so that workers know when to turn, slow down, and stop when operating a forklift will go a long way in protecting the uprights of the mezzanine platform.
3. Supporting protection device
When purchasing a mezzanine floor platform, purchase protective devices together, but many warehouse rack manufacturers will consider installing a support guardrail and foot guardrail for the mezzanine floor platform when designing the mezzanine platform and installing the warehouse racks to protect the mezzanine floors.
The mezzanine floor platform is mainly supported by support columns, and mezzanine floor platforms placed in warehouses are always subject to forklift collisions. The mezzanine floor platform columns are often hit by forklifts, which may cause certain damage to some parts of the mezzanine floor platform, such as column deformation. Damage can cause some financial losses in the warehouse, so these issues must be considered before making warehouse racks.
