We equate the demand for heavy-duty shelves with the planning of a warehouse space, because those who use heavy-duty shelves have large spaces, and it is rare to purchase one or two groups. Unlike medium-sized shelves, there are many basic elements for custom-made design of heavy-duty shelves. As a professional shelf production supplier, when the customer is not a professional, since the information the customer can provide is very limited, we will do a preliminary demand analysis. , formulate a customer demand analysis table, and formulate a plan based on the customer's usage needs, site conditions, environmental factors and relevant industry standard planning.
In this regard, here is your reference for selecting heavy-duty shelves:
1. Weight of goods and pallets
Goods on heavy-duty shelves generally need to be placed on pallets before they can be placed on the shelves, so it is necessary to know the total weight of the pallet and the goods in order to calculate how much load is required on one layer.
2. Plan how many pallets to put on one layer
Generally speaking, 2 pallets (2 pallets of goods) are placed on one floor. This is an important basis for us to calculate the load capacity of each layer and the length of each group of heavy-duty shelves.
3. Pallet size and cargo size
The area of some pallets is larger than the cargo area, and there are also cases where the cargo area is larger than the pallet area, so we calculate the length, width and height of each shelf based on the largest area.
4. The net height of the workshop and the lifting height of the forklift
The purpose of installing heavy-duty shelves is to utilize the upper space of the warehouse. The height of each layer can be determined based on the height of the goods plus pallets. However, if the upper space is not enough, or the forklift height is not high enough, it will be troublesome if the upper shelves cannot be used.
5. Forklift model and parameters
Because the access to heavy-duty shelves requires forklifts, there must be a passage between the two rows of heavy-duty shelves for the forklift to turn. The turning radius of diesel forklifts and electric forklifts are different. This applies to beam racks, which are often called pallet racks. If it is a through-type rack, this problem does not exist.
6. Construction conditions of storage area
Check the site conditions of the workshop or warehouse, such as fire hydrants, fire escapes, building columns, doors, and pedestrian passages. Reasonably arrange the shelves.
