Product Description
Core Requirements Analysis
Before designing the solution, it's essential to first clarify three key questions—these form the foundation for successfully implementing the plan.
1. Storage material characteristics: Clearly identify whether the material is a heavy-duty machine tool component, a precision hardware part, or a small standard component. Its weight, dimensions, susceptibility to moisture, and dust-proof requirements directly determine the type of shelving needed.
2. Access Frequency: Distinguish between frequently used common parts (such as bolts and bearings) and infrequently accessed finished products or spare equipment. High-frequency materials should be prioritized to ensure efficient access.
3. Space Constraints: Confirm the available floor area and ceiling height of the facility, and determine whether vertical space (such as attic shelving) needs to be utilized—while ensuring clear access to equipment and fire escape routes.
Mainstream Shelf Types and Their Applicable Scenarios
The load-bearing capacity, space utilization, and retrieval efficiency vary significantly among different shelving systems, so they need to be matched according to specific requirements.
| Shelf Type | Core Features | Applicable Scenarios | Load-bearing range |
| Heavy-duty beam racking | Sturdy structure, compatible with forklifts for easy access; adjustable layer height. | Storing heavy machinery components, finished machine tools, and large molds | 1–5 tons per layer |
| Loft-style shelving | Utilize vertical space to build 2-3-story lofts, with the lower level suitable for storing heavy materials. | Factories with a floor-to-ceiling height of ≥4.5 meters, used for storing small to medium-sized components or documents. | 0.5 to 1 ton per layer |
| Flow-style shelving | Utilizing a roller track to achieve "first-in, first-out," enabling fast access and retrieval. | Standard components frequently used (such as bolts and bearings), along with materials stocked near the production line | 0.3 to 1 ton per layer |
| Mold Rack | With drawers or overhead arms for convenient mold lifting and access, equipped with a safety lock. | Mold storage in mechanical factories, especially heavy stamping dies and injection molds | Each drawer holds 1–3 tons. |
| Lightweight Angle Steel Shelving | Easy to assemble, low cost, and ideal for manual access. | Store small tools, measuring instruments, and component samples | Each layer ≤ 0.3 tons |
Key Design Points
1. Load-bearing safety : Shelf columns and beams must be made from steel of Q235 grade or higher, with all welds securely fastened. Additionally, load-bearing limits must be clearly marked according to the weight of the materials stored, and overloading is strictly prohibited.
2. Partition Management : Categorize by "Material Type + Access Frequency," for example:
· Finished Goods Area: Utilize heavy-duty beam racking, located near the shipping exit;
· Common Parts Area: Equipped with flow rack shelving, located close to the production line;
· Mold Area: A dedicated area equipped with mold racks and lifting equipment.
3. Clear identification : Each shelf and storage location must be labeled with the material name, specifications, number, and current inventory level. Digital management can be implemented using barcodes or RFID to reduce the time spent locating items.
4. Supporting equipment : Match tools according to the shelf type—such as using forklifts with heavy-duty shelves, overhead cranes or hydraulic pallet trucks with mold racks, and height ladders with lightweight shelves—to enhance storage and retrieval efficiency.
Implementation Steps of the Plan
1. On-site survey: Measure the factory area, ceiling height, and floor load capacity; record the material list (weight, dimensions, and quantity).
2. Scheme Design: Based on the survey results, select the appropriate shelf type, draw a layout diagram, and clearly mark shelf locations, aisle widths, and the placement of supporting equipment.
3. Safety Audit: Ensure the plan complies with fire safety regulations (e.g., shelf-to-ceiling clearance ≥ 0.5 meters), verify that floor load capacity meets requirements, and prevent obstruction of fire protection equipment.
4. Installation and Acceptance: A professional team will install the shelving units, followed by a load-bearing test after installation (e.g., applying 1.2 times the rated weight). Employees will also receive training on the proper use of the equipment.
