Pallet racking
Pallet racking is a storage system that uses vertical beams to support pallets of goods. It is a common sight in warehouses and other industrial settings. There are two main types of pallet racking systems: selective and drive-in. Selective pallet racking systems allow for direct access to each pallet, while drive-in systems allow for forklifts to drive into the racking to retrieve pallets.
Pallet racking systems offer a number of advantages, including:
- Increased storage capacity: Pallet racking can help to maximize the storage space in a warehouse.
- Improved efficiency: Pallet racking can make it easier to find and retrieve pallets, which can improve the efficiency of warehouse operations.
- Reduced damage: Pallet racking can help to protect pallets from damage, which can help to reduce losses.
The minimum distance between pallet racks depends on the type of racking system and the size of the pallets. However, it is generally recommended to leave at least 3 feet of clearance between racks.
Common types of pallet racking systems:
- Selective pallet racking: This is the most common type of pallet racking system. It allows for direct access to each pallet, which makes it easy to find and retrieve pallets.
- Drive-in pallet racking: This type of racking system allows forklifts to drive into the racking to retrieve pallets. This can be more efficient than selective pallet racking, but it can also damage the pallets if it is not done carefully.
- Push-back pallet racking: This type of racking system is similar to drive-in pallet racking, but the pallets are pushed back into the racking as new pallets are brought in. This can help to maximize the storage capacity of the racking system.
- Cantilever pallet racking: This type of racking system is used to store long or bulky items. The beams extend out from the uprights, which allows for more storage space.
Pallet racking is a versatile and efficient storage system that can be used in a variety of settings. It is a good choice for warehouses that need to store large quantities of goods.
Industrial Shelving
Industrial shelving is typically made of steel, but it can also be made of other materials, such as wood or plastic. The weight capacity of industrial shelving varies depending on the type of shelving and the materials used.
Industrial shelving is used in a variety of settings, including warehouses, factories, and retail stores. It is a versatile and durable storage solution that can accommodate a wide range of needs.
Here are some of the benefits of using industrial shelving:
- It is very strong and durable, making it a good option for storing heavy items.
- It is easy to assemble and disassemble, making it a flexible storage solution.
- It is available in a variety of sizes and styles, so you can find the perfect solution for your needs.
- It is a cost-effective way to store a large amount of inventory.
Types of Industrial Shelving
Bolt-together shelving:
This type of shelving is easy to assemble and disassemble, making it a good option for businesses that need to be able to change their storage layout frequently.
Slotted angle shelving:
This type of shelving is made of steel angles that are slotted together to create a sturdy frame. The shelves can be easily adjusted to accommodate different storage needs.
Wire mesh shelving: This type of shelving is made of wire mesh, which allows for good air circulation. It is a good option for storing items that need to be ventilated, such as food or chemicals.
