What are the characteristics of pallet racks

Pallet racks, also known as beam racks and heavy duty racks, are a relatively common type of storage rack. The stability and loading capacity of pallet racks are excellent, and can reach 100% picking rate. Widely used in manufacturing, third-party logistics, distribution centers, food, beverage, chemical and other industries. So, what are the characteristics of pallet racks?

1. Variety of goods: Pallet racks have relatively low requirements for the variety and specifications of the items placed, so they are widely used;

2. The structure is simple and stable, and the cost is low: the pallet rack is assembled by columns, beams, cross braces, diagonal braces and self-locking bolts, and has the characteristics of strong bearing capacity, wear resistance, simple replacement and low maintenance cost;

3. The pallet rack has a large span and high load capacity; the span (length) of the pallet rack is mainly determined by the size of the pallet. Generally, two conventional pallets can be placed on one shelf. The foot of the pallet shelf must be installed with ground expansion screws to ensure the stability of the pallet shelf;

4. The number of layers of pallet racks can be customized. The number of layers of pallet racks can be determined according to the height of the warehouse and the height of each pallet. There is no need for beams on the bottom floor, and the pallets are placed directly on the ground. However, pallet racks are generally 6 meters or less, and the number of layers is mostly 3-5.

5. High utilization rate of storage capacity: the basic structure of the pallet rack is convenient for unit storage, and its storage capacity utilization rate is high. It adopts the form of pallet racks, and each pallet occupies a cargo space. The higher pallet racks use stacking. Machines, etc. to pick up goods, and relatively low shelves can use forklifts to pick up goods.

6. Convenient access and high picking efficiency: each pallet on the pallet rack can be stored or moved separately without moving other pallets. request. Supplemented by computer management or control, pallet racks can basically meet the requirements of a modern logistics system.
