Those familiar with the storage shelf industry understand that various types of shelves cater to distinct industries. Steel platform shelves, with their unique structure, stand out among the many shelf types, much like loft-type shelves. Let's explore steel platform shelves in detail.
Also known as steel structure platforms, working platforms, or steel platform loan racks, these shelves are designed to maximize storage space amid rising land and housing costs. Their fully assembled structure comprises columns, main beams, secondary beams, floor panels, stairs, and guardrails, usually designed in 2-3 layers without on-site connections, and they support loads ranging from 300 kg to 1500 kg per square meter.
Our company specializes in producing, selling, designing, installing, and integrating storage solutions, logistics equipment, and warehouse management systems. Our main products include various storage systems like cargo racks, heavy-duty storage racks, drive-in racks, and steel platforms, as well as supporting equipment such as pallets and hydraulic pallet trucks. These products serve industries such as manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, medical, electronics, and retail, receiving widespread acclaim. Years of experience in product design and processing ensure the expertise of our logistics system planning and manufacturing team. The standardization of components and stringent production processes guarantee timely delivery and consistent quality. Hegers' steel structure platform exemplifies innovation in the storage shelf sector, enhancing logistics management within warehouses.
The design of Hegers' storage shelves utilizes robust square or round tube columns and economical H-shaped steel beams based on load requirements. The special rolled flooring features a buckle plate structure, securely fixed to the beams, maintaining strong integrity. The space beneath the platform can serve as production or storage space, while the upper area accommodates storage or office needs, fulfilling diverse operational requirements. With high strength, light weight, and rigidity, these platforms are ideal for high, heavy, and large-span applications. Their fully assembled structure allows for easy disassembly and relocation without damaging the factory floor. Construction is efficient, typically completed within a month after planning.
Steel structure platforms have a broader application range than other shelves, so safety during use is essential. Adhering to the following eight principles is crucial:
1) Clearly display load limit signs, especially for hydraulic lifting platforms.
2) Ensure that the support and tie points are fixed to the building and not to scaffolding or temporary construction.
3) Embed and secure the concrete beams and slabs at the platform's support points with bolts.
A strong integrity, and different floors can be selected according to actual needs to meet the requirements of fire protection or dust prevention and small parts falling prevention. The space below the steel platform can be used as production space or storage space, and the space above can be used for storage or office, meeting the production, storage and office needs of different companies. At the same time, the steel platform itself has high strength, light weight, and high rigidity, which is particularly suitable for building super-high, super-heavy, and large-span storage platforms. The steel platform has a fully assembled structure, which can be flexibly disassembled and assembled, and there is no pressure to move and demolish the factory. The steel platform is also very simple and convenient to construct, without pre-embedding, and does not damage the factory floor. Its construction period is short, and it can be completed in about a month after the plan is determined.
The use range of steel structure platform is larger than other types of shelves. It is precisely because of this that we must pay attention to safety during use.
We need to abide by the eight principles of using steel structure platform:
1) Load limit signs should be set during the use of steel structure platform, especially steel platform shelves with hydraulic lifting platforms, which need to be marked with load limit in prominent positions;
2) The placement point and upper tie point of the steel structure platform are located on the building, so they cannot be set on construction facilities such as scaffolding, and the support system must not be connected to the scaffolding;
3) The concrete beams and slabs at the steel placement point of the steel platform should be embedded and connected to the platform bolts;
4) The angle between the steel wire rope and the platform should be between 45 and 60 degrees.
5) Verify the tensile strength of the beams and columns at the upper tie points of the steel structure platform to ensure safety.
6) During installation, secure the steel wire rope with a special hook; if using alternative methods, ensure at least three buckles. Cushion sharp corners where the wire rope is tied. The outer edge of the steel platform should be slightly higher than the inner side.
7) Use a snap ring for the steel structure platform; avoid directly hooking the platform ring with the hook.
8) Install guardrails around the steel structure platform, and use fences as necessary to prevent falls of people or goods.
