Aluminum profiles need storage racks for storage. Since they are long and narrow materials, there are not many suitable types of storage racks. Generally, cantilever racks are used for storage. How can the storage capacity of aluminum profile cantilever racks be increased? Let's find out.

To increase the storage capacity of aluminum profile cantilever racks, the core lies in developing upwards and introducing intelligent management. Starting from three dimensions: structural design, layout optimization, and algorithm allocation, we can design aluminum profile cantilever racks for forklift access, with the total height of the rack designed to allow the forklift to reach a certain height, usually within 10 meters. If manual access is the main method, a loft cantilever rack can be designed with 1-2 loft levels, and the total height can be designed to around 10 meters. Both of these designs utilize space upwards and significantly increase the storage capacity.

Now let's talk about the intelligent aspect. That is, adding stacker cranes and other automated equipment to the cantilever racks to achieve automated access and storage. The lifting height of the stacker crane can reach over 25 meters, so the total height of the intelligent aluminum profile cantilever racks can also be designed to be over 25 meters. This not only significantly increases the storage capacity but also has much higher efficiency than the access methods of manual or forklift access.
