How to choose the right storage equipment -- shelf?

Warehousing equipment plays a very important role in the company's entire warehouse management. How to choose warehousing equipment and how to choose storage equipment has been plaguing the company's logistics department, so what kind of storage equipment is the most suitable for the company's warehouse environment?
 
1. The purchasing process of the shelf system
 
The selection process of shelf system mainly includes: demand side put forward the requirement of warehouse shelf system - supplier design and selection of scheme design - scheme discussion and Optimization - scheme rationality, optimization degree evaluation - quotation - Supplier Selection - contract signing - shelf system detailed technical design - shelf system manufacturing (preparation) Processing, surface treatment, packaging, etc.) -- Installation of shelf system -- acceptance.
The demand for the warehouse shelf system, the Hefei plastic set up part box of the Hefei plastic turnover box should usually include the warehouse plan, the specifications, the characteristics, the weight of the unit (package), the specifications of the unit pallet goods, the heap height and the load weight, the access methods (manual access, mechanical access, automatic access) and access and installation. Preparation, storage requirements, incoming and outgoing frequency requirements, management system requirements, control modes, etc.
 
Two. Classification of shelf system
 
1, according to the shelf is fixed or mobile type, can be divided into:
(1) fixed shelf: the fixed shelf can be subdivided into shelf, tray, through, gravity, press, attic, steel structure, cantilever, flow, drawer, and leg.
(2) mobile shelf: mobile shelves can be subdivided into mobile shelves and rotating shelves, in which mobile shelves can be subdivided into light and medium mobile shelves (also known as dense shelves, divided into manual and electric), heavy pallet type mobile shelves, and rotating shelves can be subdivided into two types of horizontal rotation and straight rotating shelves.
 
2, according to the overall structure of the rack is welded or assembled, it can be divided into:
(1) welded rack.
(2) assembled shelves. At present, most of the domestic use of assembled shelves.

3, according to the connection between shelf system and warehouse building structure, it can be divided into:
(1) the shelf is combined with a shelf. The shelf system and the roof of the building constitute an inseparable whole, which directly supports the roof load by the shelf column, and the structure of the enclosure (wall) is installed on the columns on both sides.
(2) separation of structure type shelf. Shelf system and building are two separate systems, and there is no direct connection between them.
 
4. According to the weight of each layer on the shelf, it can be roughly divided into:
(1) light shelf: the weight of each layer is not more than 200kg.
(2) medium shelf: the weight of each layer is 200-500kg.
(3) heavy shelf: the weight of each layer is above 500kg.
 
5, according to the height of the shelf, it is divided into:
(1) low shelf: below the height of 5m.
(2) high shelf: height 5-12m.
(3) super high shelf: above 12m.
 
Three, shelf system structure, application range and selection
 
Shelf type shelf
Shelf type shelves are usually artificial access, assembled structure, evenly adjustable interval between layers, and the goods are often packed or not very heavy (easy to access). The shelf height is usually below 2.5m, otherwise the manual is difficult to touch (for example, it can be set at about 3M).
 
Unit shelf span (or length) should not be too long, unit shelf depth (or width) should not be too deep, according to the weight of each layer of its unit shelf can be divided into light, medium and heavy shelf, mainly for steel laminates and wood laminates two kinds.

(1) light shelf shelf: the unit load is not more than 200kg, and the total load is generally less than 2000kg. Unit shelf span is usually not more than 2m, the depth is not more than 1m (more than 0.6m), the height is generally within the 3M, the common corner steel column shelf structure, light and beautiful appearance, mainly suitable for storing light and small items. Less investment, widely used in electronics, light industry, culture and education industries.
 
(2) medium-sized shelf shelves: the unit load is generally between 200-800kg, and the total carrying capacity is generally less than 5000kg. The unit shelf span is usually less than 2.6m, the depth is not greater than 1m, and the height is generally less than 3m. If the unit shelf span is within 2m, and the layer is within 500kg, it is usually suitable to choose a beam free medium shelf type shelf. If the unit shelf span is above 2m, it can only be selected with a beam type shelf.
 
Compared with the beam type medium shelf, the beam free medium shelf can be more well adjusted, more stable and beautiful, better coordination with the environment, more suitable for the warehouse with higher cleanliness, and the beam type shelf is more industrialized and more suitable for the storage of metal structure products. Medium shelf shelves are widely applied to all walks of life.
To sum up, it is necessary to selec the best choice by selecting the storage facilities suitable for your company's warehouse and the environment.
