How to use light shelves correctly to avoid deformation?

　　1. When designing the specifications of light shelves, factors such as use requirements, equipment conditions, load weight, material supply and installation conditions shall be comprehensively considered.

　　2. The dimensional tolerance, deformation and clearance of light shelves shall comply with relevant standards. (The maximum allowable deflection of column is 1/1000, and the safety factor is 1.95; the maximum allowable deflection of beam is 1/200, and the safety factor is 1.65).

　　3. The light shelves shall be used correctly. The goods shall be placed according to the load bearing shelves and shall not be stored overweight. To avoid collision between forklift and shelf, it is better to equip anti-collision equipment such as anti-collision angle and anti-collision fence.

　　4. Both ends of each beam of the light shelf must be provided with locking devices, so that the beam can be firmly fixed on the column to prevent separation due to upward external forces. In order to ensure the engagement of the beam and its locking device, the normal operation of the beam lock or the fastening of the screws and nuts should be checked regularly during the use process, and the damaged device should be replaced in time.

　　5. The installation site shall be flat and free from ground depression and inequality. The column foot of the light shelf column shall be correctly fixed on the concrete foundation, while the heavy shelf needs to be installed with tension and explosion-proof screws closely connected with the ground to fix the shelf.

　　6. The settlement value of the light shelf foundation shall be strictly controlled to ensure the normal use of the shelf structure. In the design of shelf in non integrated warehouse, attention should be paid to the separation of shelf foundation and building column foundation to prevent the damage of the warehouse shelf structure to the building.
