Heavy duty shelving structure composition
Heavy duty shelving, also known as crossbeam shelving or location shelving, is a widely used form of shelving in warehouses and storage systems. Its structure mainly consists of the following parts:
1. Column
Column is a vertical support structure for heavy-duty shelves, usually made of high-strength steel, with strong load-bearing capacity and stability. There are double row diamond shaped holes punched on the column, with a pitch of 50mm or 75mm, allowing the crossbeam to freely adjust up and down at these intervals. The cross-section of the column is composed of 11 to 13 faces, with a large moment of inertia and strong impact resistance.
2. Beam
A crossbeam is a horizontal support component connected to a column, usually made up of two specially made "C" - shaped steel pieces that are clamped together, doubling the thickness of the upper and lower parts of the crossbeam to improve its load-bearing capacity. The design of the crossbeam is simple and reliable, with strong load-bearing capacity and low cost.
3. Decking
A laminated board is a platform for placing goods, usually made of steel plates or wooden boards, with high load-bearing capacity and durability. The laminated board can be adjusted and replaced as needed, and common types include steel plates, melamine boards, or mesh grilles.
4. Cross Bracing and slant support
Transverse bracing and slant support are used to enhance the overall stability of the shelf and prevent the shelf from instability when it is impacted by external forces. They are usually connected to the column through nylon self-locking bolts, effectively preventing bolt loosening.
5. Safety Pin
A specially designed safety pin is used when connecting the column clamp to the column, ensuring that the crossbeam will not fall off under external impact and improving the safety of the shelf.
6. Impact Guard and Column Protector
In order to prevent forklifts and other handling equipment from colliding with shelves, anti-collision barriers or foot guards are usually installed at the bottom of the shelves to enhance their durability and safety.
