What you ought to consider when planning warehouse shelving ?

Proper planning of space and placement is a top priority in the layout of warehouse shelves, which not only affects the productivity of the warehouse, picking time and labor time, but may also cause undesirable traffic flow, which leads to increased risk of safety production. The following Aceally shelves give you an overview of how to reasonably plan the warehouse shelves to improve the utilization of the warehouse.

Obtain a warehouse drawing

When we design a warehouse shelf placement diagram for a warehouse, we need to obtain an accurate diagram of the dimensions of the warehouse, which should indicate the length, width and height of the warehouse, the number and position of the columns, the size of the columns, the orientation of the doors, the size of the doors, etc.

Determine the aisle interval between the warehouse shelves

①The aisle interval should be greater than the size of the largest box used on the shelf +20cm.
② The distance between the passages is the rotatable diameter of “manual forklift+pallet” +20cm, which is convenient for placing pallets and transporting goods by manual forklift;
③ The passage interval is the rotatable diameter of “electric forklift+upper tray”+U-turn safety interval, which is convenient for the electric forklift to carry.
④If fuel forklift is required, the passage interval is the slewable diameter of “fuel forklift + pallet above” + turnaround insurance interval. For general manual access, the aisle interval is 0.7m~1.5m. If it is forklift industry, the passage interval is 2m~4m.

Roughly calculated in accordance with the above-mentioned cases, these cases can also be integrated, using different channel interval settings, the full use of warehouse space.

Determine the specification, layer number and bearing capacity of each layer of a warehouse shelf

In what way are items stored on the shelves of the warehouse? Is it packed in cartons or pallets, how big the cartons are, how big the pallets are, and how heavy they are.

Commonly used warehouse shelves bear 300~3000KG on each floor, and a warehouse shelf can be up to 2.7 meters long and 1.2 meters wide, and its height can be set according to the warehouse.The maximum is 6 meters. Of course, it is necessary to design the height of warehouse shelves according to the theoretical situation. Not how high the warehouse is, but how high the warehouse shelves can be.

There is no limit to the number of storeys, which is determined by the specifications of the stored items, the height of the warehouse and the planning of the whole storage shelf.

The space near the entrance of the warehouse needs to be reserved, in order to facilitate the opening and closing of the warehouse door and the entry and exit of the warehouse cooking staff and the reasonable placement of goods in each direction.

Placement mode of storage shelves

The storage shelves must be placed in the warehouse according to the requirements. Single-row shelves should be placed near the wall, and double-row shelves can be placed at both ends of the warehouse. The combination of horizontal and vertical shelves is the best way to put them.
