What Are The Precautions For Choosing Pallet Racks？

Pallet racks are usually heavy duty and one of the most common storage racking systems. It is suitable for both multi-species small-batch projects and few-species high-batch projects. Next, let's introduce some precautions for choosing pallet racks.

Selection of pallet racks

Pallet racks are a kind of heavy-duty racks that we often use. Before determining the purchase plan, we should understand some considerations in detail. For example, if there is no rendering, what is the function and effect we want to achieve after installation? Through intuitive understanding such as drawings, we can understand the details of the construction more clearly, and we will not wait until the pallet rack is installed to find out that there is a problem. If there is a defect, the second revision will increase the cost and delay our time. Therefore, when purchasing pallet racks, we must pay attention to this aspect.

Design of Pallet Rack

1. The direction of the channel between the shelves is preferably facing or adjacent to the door.

2. There should be no obstacles within 1-1.5 meters in front of the fire hydrant.

3. It is best not to have single row shelves in the middle shelf area.

4. Pay attention to the operation process of the warehouse to ensure the best work efficiency and storage rate.

5. If the shelf is placed against the wall, the distance from the wall should not be less than 100mm.

6. Define the type of warehouse, and determine whether the user needs the maximum storage rate or the maximum work efficiency.

7. The relationship between the shelf and the warehouse column, it is best that the shelf wraps the column.

8. If there is a fire hydrant on the wall side, it is best to have a passage between the shelf area and the wall, and the width is enough for one person to walk.

9. The standard length of the tie rods between the frames is 300mm, and the minimum length is 200mm.

10. If the single-row shelf area is relatively long, it is recommended to open a channel under the beam. The height and width of the channel under the beam should preferably be greater than 3 meters.

Installation of pallet racks

The installation and acceptance of selected pallet racks should ensure quality and safety, and verify whether the size specifications, load bearing, and thickness meet the standards, etc. The installation of pallet racks should be constructed according to the drawings. When problems are found on site or the design is unreasonable, they should be raised in time, and the construction can only be carried out after approval of changes. All kinds of measurement and testing instruments, instruments, instruments and equipment used in the installation shall comply with the provisions of the current national measurement regulations, and their accuracy grades shall not be lower than those required by the installation. Before installation, the concealed work should be inspected before the concealed work, and the construction can only be continued after passing the test. During the installation process of pallet racks, self-inspection should be carried out continuously, and problems found should be solved in time. In addition, during the installation process of the pallet rack, it is necessary to check the site frequently to see if there is any unreasonable place in the installation. If there is a problem, it should be raised and solved immediately, so that unnecessary troubles can be avoided in advance.
