Considerations for determining the layout of warehouse shelves

　　Warehouse shelves are important fixed assets for storing goods in enterprises. Any warehouse needs to store and retrieve goods, and using shelves is a good management method. There are many types of warehouse shelves, and choosing a suitable shelf customization for one's own enterprise is essential for effective goods management.

　　To know the layout of warehouse shelves, the first step is to confirm the shelf type

　　The specifications and weight of goods in each enterprise are different, and shelves can be selected according to the characteristics of the goods. For example, electronic spare parts can be selected as lightweight shelves that can be placed on each layer using plastic boxes. The weight of each layer can reach 500 kilograms, and it can achieve more than 4 layers, with adjustable height for each layer. Furthermore, heavy goods stored on pallets can be stored on crossbeam shelves, with each layer capable of supporting up to 2 tons, suitable for storing most goods; If a company feels that warehouse space is a big issue, it can choose to customize an attic shelf platform to double the storage space on the original space, but the warehouse height should be at least 3.8, so that effective goods turnover can be achieved both on and off the platform. Similarly, different goods can have different types of shelves suitable for storage, such as cantilevered shelves for long steel bars and mold shelves for molds.

　　The layout of warehouse shelves also depends on the warehouse equipment and environment. If ordinary manual forklifts are used, high-level shelves cannot be utilized. However, attic style shelves can well meet the storage needs of some scattered goods. If mobile forklifts or ladders are used, high-level pallet shelves can be used to increase the storage space for goods. Secondly, some load-bearing columns and entrances/exits of the warehouse should also be considered in the layout of the warehouse. The entry and exit channels of forklifts and the import/export of goods should be designed according to local conditions for the shelving scheme.
