Introduction to gravity shelves

Gravity shelves, also called self-gravity shelves, are heavy-duty shelves that evolved from pallet shelves. They are suitable for storage of small varieties and large quantities of similar goods. The space utilization rate is extremely high. The depth and number of layers of gravity shelves can be determined as needed. .

Guide rails with a certain slope and tracks are installed on the channels on each floor of the shelf. Under the action of gravity, the unit goods entering the warehouse flow from the storage end to the outbound end. In such a warehouse, there are no working channels between rows, which greatly improves the utilization rate of warehouse area. However, when using it, it is best that the goods in the same row and on the same layer should be the same goods or goods that are put in and out of the warehouse at the same time.

The load lane is fixed on the shelf beam at a certain angle. The pallet is put in from the high end and slides down along the drum line by its own gravity. In order to control the pallet to slide down at a stable speed and avoid collision, a load lane is set at a certain distance at a certain distance. With a resistance system, the faster the pallet slides down, the greater the resistance generated by the resistance system. The end separation mechanism is set at the lower end and is used to separate the two adjacent pallets at the lowest end, so that the lowest end pallet can be taken out smoothly. The space utilization rate of gravity shelves is higher than that of cargo shelves and through-type shelves, and it truly implements the "first in, first out" principle. Its safety and operating efficiency are the same as cargo shelves, and it is widely used in various industries.

Features of gravity shelves: Suitable for products with first-in-first-out and large flow. The roller sliding is used to achieve automatic inventory circulation of goods, and the space utilization rate reaches 85%. Suitable for large warehouse management such as cold storage and logistics distribution centers. Ordinary counterbalanced forklifts can be operated.

In addition, when the channel is long, a braking raceway should be installed on the guide rail to prevent the terminal acceleration from being too large.
