Is the cost of a steel structure platform rack higher when its span is larger?

The function of a steel structure platform is not only for storing goods, but also for office use. Since columns are needed for support, if there are too many and too close columns, it will affect efficiency and user experience. Therefore, many enterprises want to build large-span steel platforms. Are the spans of steel platform shelves larger, the cost higher? The storage rack customization factory explains.

Large-span steel platform shelves generally refer to designs with column spans between 6 and 10 meters. The large span leads to an increase in the load of the main beam, which in turn requires larger cross-sections of the pillars (columns), thicker plates, and stronger steel sections (such as H-shaped steel), and their unit weight and price also increase accordingly. However, the weight of the load has a greater impact on the cost than the span.

So, simply put, indeed, under the same load-bearing capacity, the larger the span of the steel platform shelves, the higher the procurement cost. But the specific cost still needs to be calculated based on the design scheme according to the requirements. The storage rack customization factory can provide free design proposals based on the requirements.
