Materials: They are mainly made of steel materials, such as ordinary carbon steel, stainless steel, etc. Ordinary carbon steel has a relatively low price and high strength, which can meet general load-bearing requirements. Stainless steel materials have better corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, and toughness, and are suitable for places with high environmental requirements, such as the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries.
Structure: Usually composed of components such as columns, beams, and shelf boards. The columns are generally made of square tubes or round tubes made of high-strength steel, which have good load-bearing capacity and stability and are the main supporting structure of the shelves. The beams are connected between the columns to enhance the overall structural strength of the shelves, and are mostly channel steel or I-beam. The shelf boards can be selected from steel plates, steel meshes, etc. Steel plate shelf boards have strong load-bearing capacity and are suitable for storing heavy items; steel mesh shelf boards have good air permeability and visibility, making it convenient to check the goods.
FEATURE
Strong Load-bearing Capacity: The high-strength characteristics of steel enable steel shelves to bear a large weight. According to different specifications and designs, each layer of light-duty steel shelves can bear a weight ranging from dozens of kilograms to several hundred kilograms. Each layer of heavy-duty steel shelves can bear a load of several tons, which can meet the storage needs of various items.
High Stability: The reasonable structural design and the use of high-quality steel materials enable the steel shelves to remain stable during long-term use and are not prone to deformation or collapse. There are usually reliable connection methods between the columns and the beams, such as welding and bolt connection, to ensure the overall stability of the shelves.
Good Adjustability: The layer spacing of many steel shelves can be adjusted. Users can flexibly adjust the position of the shelf boards according to the height and size of the stored items, thereby improving space utilization and better adapting to the storage of goods of different specifications.
Good Corrosion Resistance and Wear Resistance: Through surface treatment, such as spraying, galvanizing, chrome plating, etc., steel shelves can resist the erosion of a certain degree of humidity, dust, acids, alkalis, and other chemical substances, and are not easy to rust and be damaged, which extends the service life. At the same time, they also have good wear resistance and can withstand the frequent handling and friction of goods.
Convenient Installation: Most steel shelves adopt a modular design, and the connection between components is simple and easy to understand. The installation process is relatively easy, and they can be assembled and disassembled according to the space size and layout requirements of the use place, which is convenient for transportation and storage.
TYPE
Light-duty Combined Shelves: Each layer of the shelf board has a load-bearing capacity of two types, 150kg and 250kg. The height is generally 1200-2400mm, the bay spacing is 875-1200mm, the depth is 300-600mm, and the number of layers is 3-6. It is suitable for manual access operations in the warehouse and is often used to store light items, such as documents, small tools, office supplies, etc.
Medium-duty Combined Shelves: Each layer of the shelf board has a load-bearing capacity of three types, 300kg, 400kg, and 500kg. The structure is basically the same as that of light-duty shelves, but diagonal braces need to be added between the columns to increase stability. Its height and depth are the same as those of light-duty shelves, and the bay spacing can be 900-1800mm. It is suitable for storing items with a moderate weight, such as small mechanical equipment, parts, etc.
Heavy-duty Combined Shelves: Also known as pallet racks. Each layer has a load-bearing capacity of 1000-3000kg, and is composed of three parts: column components, main beam components, and accessories. The height can be 2400-4000mm, the bay spacing is 2100-3000mm, the depth is 900-1200mm, and the number of layers is 2-3. It is mainly used in conjunction with lifting forklifts or bridge fork cranes for operation and is widely used in various warehouses for storing large items, palletized goods, etc.
Cantilever Shelves: They are divided into fixed and mobile types. They are mainly composed of several frames. Each frame has a base and two columns, and there are cross beams connected between the columns. The frames are connected by longitudinal beams and diagonal braces. Cantilever cross beams are installed at intervals on each frame for storing materials. They are suitable for storing long strip-shaped goods, such as pipes, profiles, wood, etc.
Electric Mobile Shelves: They are divided into three categories according to the moving direction: horizontal linear type, horizontal rotary type, and vertical rotary type. They can move along the track, which can improve the utilization rate of the warehouse area, save the passageway, and reduce manual handling operations. However, the structure is complex and the cost is high. They are suitable for places with high requirements for space utilization and low frequency of goods access.
APPLICATION
Warehouse Storage: They are essential storage equipment in warehouses and can be used to store various goods, such as electronic products, hardware tools, building materials, food, daily necessities, etc. They help enterprises realize the classified storage and management of goods, improve the space utilization rate of the warehouse and work efficiency.
Supermarket Retail: They are widely used for the display and sales of goods in supermarkets. Their beautiful and generous appearance and good load-bearing capacity can meet the display needs of different goods, attract the attention of customers, and promote the sales of goods. At the same time, the adjustable layer height of the shelf boards and the flexible layout also facilitate supermarket staff to organize and place goods.
Factory Workshops: In factory workshops, steel shelves can be used to store raw materials, semi-finished products, finished products, etc., which is convenient for the management and access of materials during the production process, improves production efficiency, and also helps to keep the workshop clean and orderly.
Commercial Display: In commercial display places such as shopping malls, exclusive stores, and exhibition halls, steel shelves can be used as display racks for displaying goods such as clothing, accessories, handicrafts, and jewelry. Through reasonable display and layout, a high-end and fashionable display atmosphere can be created, enhancing the brand image and the added value of the goods.
Household Use: For household users, steel shelves also have great practical value. They can be used to store household items, clothes, books, toys, etc., helping people to organize and store items, making the home environment cleaner and more orderly. In particular, some adjustable multi-layer steel shelves can make full use of the home space, increase the storage capacity, and solve the problem of item storage.
