3 factors need to be considered in customizing heavy duty bulk storage rack

For the benefits of bulk storage rack, I believe many enterprises will recognize, and more and more enterprise warehouses have used storage racks or are planning storage racks. But how to plan storage racks quickly and well? We suggest considering warehouse, goods, forklift, etc.

3-factors-need-to-be-considered-in-customizing-heavy-duty-bulk-storage-racks

1. Stacking height.

The planning of metal storage racks takes into account the available net height of the warehouse, that is, the distance from the lowest obstacle (lighting system, etc.) at the top of the warehouse to the bottom of the warehouse, rather than the highest height of the warehouse, which will affect the efficiency of forklift operation.

At the same time, the stacking height of each layer of goods will also be taken into account, which will directly affect the safety of goods storage and the size of the location, and reduce the loss rate of goods.

2. Forklift access.

When planning industrial warehouse storage racks, the storage area is divided into two parts, the middle part is the forklift operation channel, and the racks are placed on both sides. The required width of the empty operation between the racks is also considered.

At the same time, the turning radius of forklift operation channel = minimum turning radius + front overhang distance (distance from the arrival fork surface of front-wheel center) + cargo length + 200mm, about 2.7 ~ 3.5. The smaller the access, the more difficult it is to operate, and the higher the requirements for forklift drivers.

3. Rack load.

Planning bulk storage rack needs to determine a load of each layer according to the weight of the storage rack, and the whole rack should also have a maximum load limit. In this regard, the state has a recommended safety factor standard, which is not mandatory.

The higher the general safety factor is, the longer the rack life is, and the cost will increase accordingly. Enterprises need to design and select according to the actual situation.
