Relationship between storage shelf thickness and load-bearing capacity

Storage shelves are essential equipment for storing items and play an important role in the production and warehousing process. Reasonable selection of shelves plays an important role in improving logistics efficiency and inventory management. The thickness of a shelf is an important factor in determining its load-bearing capacity and stability. Generally speaking, the thickness of shelves is divided into two parts: the thickness of columns and beams.

2. Shelf thickness standards and requirements

1. Thickness requirements for ordinary shelves:

Ordinary shelves mainly refer to light shelves, which generally need to carry light items, such as stationery, clothing, furniture, etc. According to national standards, the thickness of ordinary shelf columns is generally between 1.0mm-2.0mm, and the thickness of beams is generally between 0.7mm-1.2mm.

2. Thickness requirements for medium-sized shelves:

Medium-sized shelves mainly refer to medium-load-bearing shelves, which generally need to carry heavier items, such as mechanical parts, home appliances, electronic products, etc. According to national standards, the thickness of medium-sized shelf columns is generally between 2.0mm-3.0mm, and the thickness of beams is generally between 1.2mm-1.8mm.

3. Thickness requirements for heavy-duty shelves:

Heavy-duty shelves mainly refer to shelves that carry heavy objects, such as heavy machinery, hardware products, etc. According to national standards, the thickness of heavy-duty shelf columns is generally between 3.0mm-4.5mm, and the thickness of beams is generally between 1.8mm-2.5mm.

3. The relationship between thickness and load-bearing capacity

The thickness of the shelf and its load-bearing capacity are not purely linear, but have a certain degree of "redundancy". That is, the load-bearing capacity of the shelf does not only depend on the thickness of its material, but is also affected by a series of factors. Factors such as the shelf's own structure, construction method and usage environment will all affect the load-bearing capacity of the shelf.
