Carrying capacity of shelves.metal utility cart with wheel

　　Shelves are also a general term for storage shelves with strong load-bearing capacity. They are low-cost, safe and reliable, and easy to disassemble. They are widely used in large, medium, and small warehouses, and are most widely used in manufacturing, third-party logistics, and distribution centers. The rack is composed of columns, beams, cross braces, slant support and self-locking bolts. The structure is simple and stable. The safety pins installed at the connection between the column clamp and the column can also ensure that the crossbeam will not fall off under the impact of external forces. The preferred material for the crossbeam is high-quality square steel with a special cold-rolled P-shaped closed beam. The design of the column determines the randomness and flexibility of stocks.

　　Generally speaking, the height of shelves is determined by factors such as the characteristics of the packaging of goods and their weight. Determine the type, specifications, and dimensions of pallets, as well as the loading capacity and stacking height of individual pallets (usually weighing less than 2000 kilograms), and determine the span, depth, and layer spacing of unit cargo shelves. Then, the shelf height is determined based on the effective height of the lower edge of the warehouse roof truss and the maximum fork height of the forklift. Under normal circumstances, the shelf span is within 4 meters, the depth is within 1.5 meters, the height of the shelves in low and high-rise warehouses is within 12 meters, and the height of the shelves in super high-rise warehouses is within 30 meters (most of these warehouses are automated warehouses, and the total height of the system is composed of several columns within 12 meters).

　　Shelves have excellent load-bearing capacity, especially for storage of fully loaded goods. The crossbeam shelf is divided into pallets and can be located in one position. In addition to good load-bearing capacity, convenience and flexibility in use, the purchase cost of shelves is also an advantage compared to other relatively complex shelves and automated storage shelves. For ordinary customers, thick shelves and extended shelves are good choices if they can meet their needs.
