How To Prevent Warehouse Racking Collapse

The reason for the collapse of the shelf may be that the shelf is hit by the forklift; when the shelf is hit by the forklift, there will always be a large chance of collapse at this time or later due to structural damage or crushing load. What measures can we take to reduce the possibility of collapse?

Establish a wide aisle space, although the maximum space utilization is a key goal of any warehouse, but safety is the first. Many companies arrange their racking channels when the forklift manufacturer provides a "minimum" passage for the forklift involved. The minimum may be too narrow, especially for inexperienced drivers. Because the aisle trays are ubiquitous, the width of the tray should be considered on both sides of the aisle. The more spacious channel also allows the driver to work faster in the channel, increasing productivity.

Install a crash barrier, which is a cheap and simple way to protect the shelf. The shelves in the corner row are most susceptible to impact by the forklift, so any type of foot guardrail can be used to prevent the shelf from being damaged by the forklift.

To increase the speed limit of the forklift, the speed of the forklift should not exceed 8 miles per hour, and the speed near pedestrians should not exceed 3 miles per hour. Low speed operation should also apply to the tray rack area. In the aisle, close to the corner or shelf tunnel should be the "slow walking" area of the forklift.

The reason for the collapse of the shelf may be overload

If the beam is not damaged, there are insurance pins, and a stable tray is attached to them, it should be noted that the load of the beam also needs to be evenly distributed.

The load carrying capacity of the beam also depends on the uniform distribution, and if the decorative panels are used instead of placing the pallets flat on the beams, they will also change. Beam loading can be compromised with damaged pallets or high density loads.

The reason for the collapse of the shelves may be the poor design of the shelves.

Depending on size, weight and density, the rack is typically designed for a specific load. Incorrect design can cause a crash.

When designing the shelf structure, factors such as the use requirements, equipment conditions, load properties, material supply and installation conditions should be comprehensively considered, and structural forms, construction measures and materials should be reasonably selected to achieve advanced technology, economical rationality, safety and application, and quality assurance.
