Introduction to Storage Shelf Solutions for the Food Industry

　　We know that every industry warehouse in the market cannot efficiently store goods without using storage shelves. Reasonable use of shelves can achieve twice the result with half the effort. However, different types of storage shelf models also have significant differences and their applicability varies. So which shelves can be used in the food industry?

　　To know what kind of storage shelves are suitable for the food industry, the first step is to understand the characteristics of products in the food industry, and the biggest characteristic is shelf life. So when selecting shelves, it is important to prioritize those that can operate in a first in, first out mode. Below are three shelves suitable for the food industry.

　　1. Shuttle type shelves

　　The shuttle shelf can be said to be very familiar with the food industry, and it can be said that this shelf is a storage shelf with a high frequency in the food industry. Especially in recent years, with the development of automation technology, this semi-automatic storage rack has become increasingly recognized by more and more people. The working mode of shuttle shelves is also very simple, mainly using shuttle trucks to access the goods on the shelves and pallets, rather than manual operation, further improving the overall work efficiency of the warehouse.

　　2. Driving in shelves

　　Drive in shelves are also a type of storage rack that can support first in, first out. Like shuttle shelves, this type of rack does not require a reserved passage for forklifts and can maximize warehouse space utilization. Moreover, compared to shuttle shelves, the advantage of this type of shelf is that its manufacturing cost is much lower than that of shuttle shelves, making it more suitable for most enterprises to choose from.

　　3. Cross beam shelves

　　The crossbeam shelf structure is simple, safe, reliable, and stable, and can be adjusted and combined at will. It is suitable for storing various types of goods, supports first in, first out, and is not limited by the order of goods. The crossbeam shelf structure is simple and can be adjusted according to the actual usage of users. There are different specifications of crossbeam shelves available for selection based on pallet loading requirements, pallet size, actual warehouse space, and actual lifting height of forklifts. For enterprises with insufficient budgets, they can choose crossbeam shelves, but the space utilization rate of crossbeam shelves will be much lower than the first two shelves, as the first two shelves are dense storage shelves.
