What is the standard spacing between high-rise shelves.3 tier metal bookself

　　The reason why many warehouses use high-rise shelves is to reduce floor space and improve warehouse utilization. This also means that the width design of the high-rise shelves in the warehouse is important. If the spacing is too large, it will waste warehouse space, and if the spacing is too small, it will cause problems with the flow of goods. So, what is the standard spacing for high-rise shelves?

　　Unlike civilian shelves and storage racks, high-rise shelves, whether used in warehouses of production enterprises or logistics centers, generally carry a huge amount of goods. This three-dimensional and high-level storage method provides basic services for production and logistics. The spacing design between high-rise shelves is a key link in ensuring the safe use of storage shelves and affecting the production and circulation process. According to experience, there is no standard distance between high-rise shelves in warehouse shelves, which depends on the actual situation, including the items placed on the shelves, the tools used for retrieval, such as the turning distance required for forklifts, to determine:

　　1. If all manual handling operations are carried out, the distance between storage locations should be greater than the width of the large packaging boxes used on the storage locations+20cm;

　　2. If pallets need to be placed at the bottom of the storage location, the upper layer will be manually transported, and the distance between storage locations is the rotatable diameter of "manual forklift+pallets"+20cm;

　　3. If the storage location requires electric forklift transportation, the distance between the storage locations is the rotatable diameter of the "electric forklift+upper pallet"+turning safety distance;

　　4. If there is a forklift, it usually depends on the model: if it is a domestically produced large forklift, it will take about 4 meters; If it is a small forklift or only a hydraulic trailer, 2.5 meters to 3 meters is enough.
