Limit on shelf height of different types of warehouses

　　1. Shelves in small and medium-sized warehouses

　　In some small warehouses, if the operation is mainly manual access, the shelves used are light shelves and medium shelves, which are usually of beam structure. The shelves are built with multiple layers of adjustable height, which can be adjusted up and down by the pitch of 65mm height. The number of shelves is 4-5. The total height of the shelves in medium warehouses is designed to be about 2m, which is convenient for manual access. If it is too high, The goods above are hard to access.

　　2. Rack in attic warehouse

　　The height of the mezzanine shelf is also derived from the height of each floor plus the thickness. The mezzanine shelf is used to access items of irregular size and is also a way to access goods manually. Therefore, the height of the person should also be considered. Generally, the height of the person is about 1.7 meters, and the height of the bottom floor is about 2 meters. Otherwise, it is inconvenient to access goods manually. If the single floor is too short, Workers will feel more depressed if they are in the store for a long time.

　　3. Through warehouse shelves

　　As an intensive and similar to the drive in shelf, the through shelf is a mechanical access shelf system with high storage efficiency. The height of the through type shelf is generally about 10 meters, and those higher than 7 meters are high level shelves. If it is too high, it is inconvenient to store goods, and if it is too low, it will not reflect the advantages of intensive storage and mechanized operation.

　　In a word, different warehouse shelf types have certain restrictions on their height according to their own characteristics, but in addition to considering the shelf types themselves, we should also consider the surrounding environment of the warehouse, the height of the ceiling, whether there may be decoration changes in the near future and other factors.
