How to choose suitable shelves for the warehouse

　　1. Plant structure (available height | beam column position | floor conditions | fire protection facilities)

　　When selecting shelves for storage equipment, the effective height under the beam must be considered to determine the height of the shelves. The position of beams and columns will affect the configuration of the shelves. The strength and flatness of the floor are also related to the design and installation of the shelves. In addition, the installation location of fire prevention and lighting facilities also needs to be considered.

　　2. The appearance and size of stored items are directly related to the selection of shelf specifications, while the weight of stored items directly affects the strength of the shelf used. The unit of storage is determined by the type of shelf used, including pallets (pallets), storage cages, or individual items. In addition, the estimated total storage capacity must take into account the company's growth needs in the next two years. These materials can be obtained through

　　3. Accessibility (storage density | first in, first out | storage location management)

　　Generally, accessibility and storage density are relative. That is to say, in order to achieve a higher storage density, the accessibility of items must be relatively sacrificed. Although some types of shelves can achieve better storage density, their storage space management is relatively complex and often cannot achieve first in, first out control. The best of course, three-dimensional automatic warehouses can be developed upwards, with good accessibility and storage density, but relatively high investment costs. Therefore, choosing which type of storage device to use can be said to be a compromise of various factors and a strategic application. For a comparison of the accessibility and storage density of various types of storage devices, you can call to inquire.

　　4. Handling equipment (counterweight type | straddle type | channel width | lifting height | lifting weight | rotation radius)

　　The access operation of storage devices is completed by moving the equipment. Therefore, when selecting storage equipment, consideration should also be given to handling equipment. Stacker is a commonly used handling equipment, and the width of the shelf passage directly affects the selection type of stacker, whether it is a counterweight type or a narrow channel type.
