What are the design points of medium duty shelving?

Medium duty shelving, which belongs to a kind of storage shelves, is often used in warehouses, supermarkets, and other places. Next, we talk about several factors that should be considered when designing shelves, so that you can easily have some references when planning warehouse shelves. If there is something unclear, you can contact us, our engineers are always at your service. 

Here is the content list:

Consider the warehouse plant architecture

Consider the characteristics of the goods stored on the shelves

Consider the accessibility of shelves

Consider the cargo handling equipment

Consider the amount of inbound and outbound storage

Consider the warehouse plant architecture

The first point we consider when doing medium duty shelving design is the plant warehouse structure. The main consideration here is: the height of the warehouse, the height of the warehouse determines the height of our medium duty shelving. The position of the columns and beams, which affects the overall placement of the medium duty shelving. The bearing capacity of the floor, which affects the installation of medium duty shelving as well as the future load-bearing shelves. Lighting and fire protection systems must also be considered.

Consider the characteristics of the goods stored on the shelves

Medium duty shelving is for goods, the size of the goods determines the size of medium duty shelving. The second thing we have to consider is the weight of the goods, which determines the material and load capacity used for medium duty shelving. The third point is to choose different types of shelves according to different storage units. For example, the unit using cardboard, storage cages, boxes, the type of shelves selected is certainly different.

Consider the accessibility of shelves

The relationship between storage and storage density of medium duty shelving is equivalent to the relationship between the fish and the bear's paw, which cannot be achieved at the same time, and usually, the accessibility of goods is reduced to provide storage density. The general scheme is actually a compromise between various factors.

Consider the cargo handling equipment

Handling equipment to provide an important factor in the efficiency of the warehouse, the warehouse is usually configured to use the stacker. This requires us to design the width of medium duty shelving in full consideration of the stacker truck specifications, models.

Consider the amount of inbound and outbound storage

The amount of inbound and outbound storage can measure whether the type of medium duty shelving we have chosen is wasteful or not. For example, some shelves have good storage density, but the storage volume is very low, this is not suitable.

The above points are what we need to pay attention to when we design the shelves, it seems very simple. Jiangsu NOVA Intelligent Logistics Equipment Co., Ltd. is dedicated to designing high-quality medium duty shelving for many years. Humanized design and perfect after-sales service are the reasons why our company is famous.
