Design points for storage shelves

Plant structure

The effective height of the beam should be considered when selecting the shelf for the storage device to determine the shelf height. The position of the beam and column will affect the configuration of the shelf. The strength and the flatness of the floor are also related to the design and installation of the shelves. In addition, the installation location of fire protection facilities and lighting facilities must be considered.

Item characteristics

The shape and size of the stored items are directly related to the selection of the shelf specifications. The weight of the stored items directly affects the strength of the shelf.

Accessibility

General accessibility and storage density are relative. With a higher storage density, the accessibility of the item is poor.

Handling equipment

The access operation of the storage device is done by the handling device. Therefore, the selection of storage equipment requires consideration of handling equipment. The stacker is a general-purpose handling device, and the shelf channel width directly affects the selection type of the stacker. It is a counterweight or a narrow channel.

Inbound and outbound volume

Although some shelves have a good storage density, but the amount of storage and delivery is not high, suitable for low-frequency operations. The high volume of inbound and outbound storage is very important data, which is an important consideration in the choice of shelf form.
