The Role and Function of The Shelf

Shelves are storage equipment specially used to store individual items. Shelves occupy a very important position in small warehouses. With the substantial increase in logistics, in order to realize the modern management of the warehouse and improve the functions of the warehouse, not only a large number of Warehouse Shelves are required, but also multi-functionality, and can realize mechanization and automation.

The role and function of the shelf are as follows:

1. The shelf is a kind of shelf structure. It can make full use of warehouse space utilization and expand warehouse storage capacity.

2. Goods with small shelves, easy to access, easy to count and measure.

3. To ensure the quality of stored goods, measures such as moisture-proof, dust-proof, and damage can be taken to improve the quality of material storage.

4. The structure and function of the Shelf are conducive to the realization of the mechanization and automatic management of the warehouse.

Shelves account for a large proportion of the total investment in storage equipment, which has a great impact on the operation mode of the warehouse. Therefore, it is very important to choose a shelf that is relatively economical in design. Under the condition of ensuring the strength, rigidity and overall stability of the shelf, the weight of the shelf should be reduced as much as possible, the consumption of steel should be reduced, and the pressure capacity of the shelf should be reduced to meet the storage needs. There are many types of shelves, and the classification methods are also different.

According to the shelf manufacturing process, it can be divided into welded shelves and combined shelves. According to the classification of rack movement status, it can be divided into fixed racks, mobile racks and rotating racks. Classified according to the structural relationship between shelves and buildings, they can be divided into integral structural shelves and separate structural shelves. According to the type of cargo storage unit, it can be divided into Pallet Rack and container rack. According to the structural characteristics, it can be divided into layer rack, layer grid rack, drawer rack, cantilever rack and so on.
