In the warehousing and logistics industry, it is one of the main application scenarios where shelves are used. Generally, the dedicated shelves used in this environmental setting are called logistics shelves. In places such as the warehouse rooms of logistics turnover centers, product distribution warehouses of e-commerce platforms, and cold chain logistics warehouses, various types of steel modular shelves are all in use.
Since the advent of production activities, warehousing has emerged. It is an important component of production activities and has developed along with the development of production. During its development process, it has gone through different stages. With the rise of China's manufacturing industry, the logistics industry has also developed rapidly, and storage shelves are almost indispensable storage equipment in it. So, what types of logistics shelves are commonly used in these places? How much are logistics and warehousing shelves worth?
The types of logistics and warehousing shelves include beam-type series heavy-duty shelves, through-type shelves, gravity shelves, cantilever shelves, shuttle shelves, mezzanine shelves, etc.
Logistics shelf
Beam-type shelves are one of the more commonly used types of logistics warehouse shelves. Traditionally, the common beam rack is also called pallet rack or storage location rack. Beam-type shelves can be customized to different load-bearing capacities according to the needs of stored goods, and are generally four to five layers.
However, in large and medium-sized logistics storage warehouses, higher-position shelves are often installed and used. These shelves have evolved from beam-type ones, such as narrow aisle shelves and double-depth shelves. These shelves, with the cooperation of forklifts and lifting equipment, can complete the batch storage and retrieval of goods in the logistics warehouse.
Through-type shelves are also known as corridor-type shelves. It is a density-type storage rack that stores goods inside the rack. Many goods in logistics centers are often in large quantities but in few categories. Through-type and other types of shelves precisely possess this storage attribute. The continuous pallet storage mode of through-type racking can increase the space utilization rate by about 90%.
Cantilever racks are a type of storage rack used for storing goods with special shapes. In the warehouses of logistics centers, they have excellent practicality for storing long, round, and plum-shaped materials. Different materials and different design optimization effects result in different weights of stored goods.
Gravity racking is similar to beam racking but different from it. Several rolling shafts are installed between the crossbeams of the shelves and arranged at a certain slope. The storage and retrieval operations of materials are completed by the sliding of goods on them. Gravity racking adopts a first-in, first-out storage method. The depth and number of layers of the racking are determined as needed.
Shuttle rack. The excellent combination of shuttle vehicles and guide rail shelves forms the shuttle vehicle system. Compared with the above-mentioned shelves, shuttle racks are a relatively high-end storage system that can achieve certain automated three-dimensional warehousing applications. However, the cost is relatively high. If you have the financial capacity, you can go and purchase it.
Mezzanine shelves are a parallel three-dimensional storage system, usually built with steel platforms and can be combined with corresponding shelves for comprehensive storage. The mezzanine shelving system is an excellent storage system that combines efficiency and operational effectiveness for personnel in the storage of some products.
Storage shelves are a type of storage equipment. Whether they are used in the storage of manufacturing plants or in logistics centers and other places, the correct assembly and procurement should be obtained based on the demand for shelves, the attributes of the shelves' locations, and the specific conditions of the storage. Only in this way can the quotations for the shelves be relatively correct and reasonable. The supply of logistics warehouse shelves adopts a personalized design and targeted manufacturing approach. The price of the shelves is jointly determined by multiple factors.
