Beam-type shelving

Beam-type shelving is a widely used type of shelving system, characterized by its high load-bearing capacity, wide range of height adaptability, mechanical access, and high selection efficiency.

Structural features: Beam-type shelving consists of column sections (uprights) and beams, featuring a simple structure and reliable safety. Column sections are typically manufactured using automatic punching followed by cold bending forming technology to prevent stress concentration in the uprights, which could lead to cracks or failure. The beams are usually assembled using two columns, cross braces, and diagonal braces connected with nylon self-locking bolts. This modular structure effectively prevents shelf instability caused by bolt loosening.

Application Areas: Beam-type shelving is widely used in various settings, such as commercial warehousing, manufacturing, and logistics. In commercial warehousing environments, the shelving is typically used to store large quantities of lightweight goods.

Usage: Beam-type shelving is typically used with forklifts and employs a convenient pallet-based storage and retrieval method. This shelving offers high flexibility, supports first-in-first-out (FIFO) operations, and achieves high inventory turnover rates. Prior to use, unitization of cargo must be performed, which involves grouping cargo based on its packaging and weight characteristics to determine the type, specifications, dimensions, and load capacity of pallets, as well as stacking height. This information is then used to determine the span, depth, and layer spacing of the unit shelving.

Advantages: Beam-type shelving maximizes space utilization, allows forklift access to goods, features a fully modular structure for flexible assembly and disassembly, and offers optimized material cross-sections for strong load-bearing capacity and high adaptability. It can be customized into mold shelving, mezzanine shelving, and even drum shelving based on pallet shelving.

In summary, beam-type shelving is a simple, user-friendly, high-load-bearing, and versatile shelving system suitable for various warehouses and logistics facilities.
