Heavy duty racking is used to store pallets of goods and has a very high load capacity. Heavy duty racking can also be referred to as beam racking or china pallet racking. It is mainly composed of column groups and beams, although the structure is relatively simple, its advantages are very big, next let us list a few advantages for you.

The advantage of heavy duty racking.

1, heavy-duty racking structure is solid and reliable, the appearance is simple and beautiful, according to the actual situation of the warehouse can be adjusted arbitrarily for the installation of racks. Goods in and out of the warehouse are not affected by the sequence, are convenient and efficient, widely used in the form of pallet storage and forklift mechanical access to the storage model.

2, heavy-duty racking column group with columns, cross braces and diagonal braces bolted together. This structure not only facilitates transportation and handling but also allows the space on each level to be freely adjusted according to the height of the goods with a spacing of 75mm to meet the storage needs of goods of different heights.

3, heavy duty racking can be determined according to the size of the column and beam specifications to determine the bearing capacity, the beam is welded from two C-shaped beams, this kind of beam has a strong bearing capacity, impact resistance, lightweight, low cost and other characteristics.

4, heavy-duty racking has a strong load-bearing capacity, each layer can carry more than 500kg of goods, the specific load-bearing range can be customized according to the customer’s storage needs, the maximum load-bearing capacity of up to 3000kg or even 5000kg per layer.

5, heavy-duty racking not only effectively improve space utilization, but also can improve the neatness of the enterprise warehouse and create a good corporate image for the company.

6, heavy duty racking can be equipped with foot guards, anti-collision bars, anti-collision guardrails, etc. to prevent forklifts from hitting the columns of the racking when driving in the aisles. In order to further improve the safety of the racks, you can also configure the crossbeams across the beams, steel plates, wooden boards, layer nets and other auxiliary safety equipment.

7, heavy-duty racking is easy to install with low cost, and the flexibility and versatility that pallet racking possesses can, to a certain extent, make an effective improvement in the economic efficiency of the enterprise.

8, heavy duty racking is very plastic, on the basis of heavy duty racking can be converted into drawer type mold rack, loft racking, narrow aisle racking, double depth racking, push back racking, automated storage racking, etc.

There are different combinations of structures available according to the needs of different users, so which type is better for ordinary heavy duty racking or double depth heavy duty racking? Below, I will take you through the differences between them.

The difference between ordinary heavy duty racking and double depth racking.

Ordinary heavy duty shelving.

Ordinary heavy-duty shelving is often referred to as beam-type shelving, which is assembled from columns, beams, cross braces and diagonal braces with bolts, which can effectively prevent instability and other situations caused by the instability of the shelves after the bolts are loosened. Its main features are.

01, usually the goods are stored in the shelves after the whole assembly through pallets, storage cages and other assembly equipment.

02, It is one of the most common and widely used racks and is suitable for most warehouses.

03, handling machinery can reach any cargo space for access operations, easy and fast operation.

04, access operations by mechanical equipment, high efficiency, short operation time, can reduce the labour intensity of employees.

05, Each shelving unit has a span of 4m or less, a depth of 1.5m or less and a height of 12m or less, with a maximum height of 30m.

06, The height of each level can be freely adjusted with a 75mm spacing, which can meet the storage needs of different sizes of goods.

Double depth racking.

Derived from ordinary beam racking, double depth racking is a dense racking storage system. The racks are designed in a double-row side-by-side structure and work in conjunction with a scissor lift truck. The warehouse utilisation rate is around 42%, the aisles are designed according to the forklift truck and the structure is the same as adjustable shelving. The double-depth shelving has the characteristics of high space utilisation and large storage capacity of goods, and is widely used in the food and beverage, tobacco, paper industry, manufacturing industries, etc. Its main features are the following.

01, low beam height, operating height up to 8m.

02, Medium stock flow, offering 50% optionality.

03, Suitable for warehouses with low pick-up rates and warehouse utilisation rates of up to 42%.

04, Double depth racking doubles the stocking capacity compared to normal beam racking.

05, Forklift access needs to be designed at around 3.3m.

06, It is difficult to use FIFO access when FIFO access is adopted.

07, The construction cost per pallet space is one of the lowest cost racking systems of all the stereo warehouse systems.

So, is it better to have normal heavy duty racking or double depth racking?

In fact, each of the two types of racking has its own advantages. The normal heavy duty racking has a 100% picking rate and can achieve FIFO, but the double depth racking has a higher space utilisation rate, while the picking rate is only 50%, which makes it difficult to achieve FIFO.

How can users choose a more reasonable choice?

Xinmiao rack manufacturers believe that users should first recognize the characteristics of their own enterprise warehouse and the storage needs of goods when choosing racks, so that they can choose the storage racks suitable for their own warehouses.
