Storage gravity shelves can be designed several layers？

February 17, 2025

Gravity racks are also called roller racks or first-in-first-out shelves, which use the rack-weight of goods to achieve first-in-first-out, and have a large storage capacity, which is a storage device widely used in warehouses and cold storage. How many layers can the storage gravity rack be designed? Let's find out.

Gravity rack

The design of the gravity shelf depends on a number of factors, usually can be designed 3 to 6 layers, warehouse height determines the maximum available vertical space of the shelf. Because it is necessary to use a forklift to access, the total height should be designed in the height that the forklift can fork to, generally within 8 meters. The height of each layer should take into account the height of the goods, the thickness of the pallet and the safety clearance. Gravity shelves rely on gravity to slide, and the load bearing of each layer needs to match the weight of the goods. Heavy loads may require fewer layers to ensure structural stability.

Gravity rack

It can be seen that the gravity shelf is customized according to demand, and the number of layers needs to be determined according to the warehouse height, cargo weight, access equipment and safety requirements. It is recommended to work with a professional shelf designer or shelf storage supplier to ensure that the design is reasonable and safe.
