Design Principles of Shelves
Jul 25 , 2022When designing the warehouse storage shelving, there are many problems to be considered, such as the load capacity, quality, material and so on. Only after fully understanding these data can we design a satisfactory shelf. Of course, this means that we need to consider many factors.
1. Characteristics of goods stored on shelves
Shelves serve all kinds of goods. The size of goods determines the size of shelves. Secondly, we need to consider the weight of goods, so as to determine the materials and load capacity of shelves. Another is to choose different shelf types according to different storage units.
2. Warehouse structure
The first thing we consider when designing shelves is the structure of the warehouse. The main considerations here are:
(1) The height of the warehouse, which determines the height of our shelves.
(2) The position of uprights and beams affects the overall placement of shelves. Pay attention to this problem when designing.
(3) The load capacity of the warehouse floor affects the subsequent installation of shelves and the load capacity of the floor after installing shelves.
(4) Lighting system and fire protection system should be considered. There is a safe distance between goods, goods and shelves, and goods and fire pipes.
3. Material and details of shelves
The material and details of the shelf determine the service life of the shelf. What kind of wood and steel are used, the thickness of laminates and uprights, whether the footing can be adjusted, whether the pipe groove is thickened, and whether these details are done well? Because these small details can see the durability, safety, stability and maximum load capacity of the shelf. There is also the convenience of shelf installation.
4. Installation of shelves
Nowadays, people like convenience. In terms of the installation of all shelves, we should consider whether the installation steps can be popularized in the design. When you provide customers with installation videos or installation steps, you can let customers assemble according to the installation steps, which is really simple and fast.
