What are the different styles of steel coil storage racks?

Steel coils, as an important industrial raw material, have the characteristics of heavy weight and special shape, which impose extremely high requirements on the storage system. Selecting the appropriate dedicated shelves is the key to ensuring safety and improving efficiency. So, what are the styles of steel coil storage shelves? Let's find out below.

The first choice is the non-standard crossbeam type shelf. Its design imitates the shape of a saddle, consisting of two sturdy saddle support brackets and one or several load-bearing beams. The steel coils are placed horizontally in the saddle groove, usually one coil per storage position. The second type is the heavy-duty cantilever shelf. It is composed of sturdy columns and adjustable-height cantilevers at the front, forming an open storage space. The steel coils can be placed horizontally on the cantilevers. This type is suitable for storing steel coils of different specifications and with flexible access, and is commonly found in steel trading markets or processing workshops. There is also an intelligent steel coil storage shelf, but its cost is relatively higher.

Customized non-standard steel coil storage shelves can also be designed according to requirements. When choosing which style of steel coil storage shelf to use, factors such as the size and weight of the steel coils, the space and height of the warehouse, budget cost, access frequency, and operation equipment need to be comprehensively considered.
