Safe use

Overload prevention

The weight of each layer of goods stored must not exceed the maximum load capacity of the selective pallet racking design. The distance between the edge of the pallet and the edge of the beam should be kept the same at both ends to avoid uneven force on the beam affecting the load-bearing capacity of the shelf.

Anti-over-height and over-width

The width of selective pallet racking shelves has been limited, the size of the cardboard and goods should be slightly less than 100mm net space.

Anti-impact

When the pallet is placed on the shelf, the forklift driver must pay attention to the distance between the pallet and the shelf column of the selective pallet racking, and should not collide with the column to avoid damage to the column, and the pallet should be placed lightly on the cross beam. During the operation of the forklift, it should be taken and put down as lightly as possible, and install anti-collision corner guards on the front of the racks to prevent the racks from being hit by a forklift.

Prevention of personnel injury

The second shelf platform shall be installed to prevent the accidental fall of the personnel protection chain, and regularly check whether its safety status is good. Corrosive products cannot be stacked around the shelves of selective pallet racking. When there are goods on the shelves of selective pallet racking, no construction related to vibration work can be carried out near the shelves. When goods are placed above the shelves, operators should not enter the bottom of the shelves directly. The goods on the pallets should not exceed the edge of the pallets so that the goods do not slip and hurt people. The office area is prohibited within 2 meters of the area around the shelves of selective pallet racking. No one can stay near the shelves except the staff.

Inspection and maintenance

Inspection

If any serious damage or deformation is found, the manufacturer should be notified promptly to repair or replace and conduct special experiments before use.

Scrapping

When the selective pallet racking shelves are seriously damaged and cannot be used after repair or the shelves are scrapped beyond the specified service life, refer to the relevant provisions of the company's fixed assets scrapping.
