steel selective pallet racking system manufacturer

The main purpose of the selective pallet rack is to store the goods, place the goods neatly on the pallet, and then use the forklift to pick up the pallet and place it on the rack for storage and retrieval of the goods. Selective pallet racks greatly improve the efficiency of warehouse storage.

The pallet rack system is a rack storage system composed of multiple groups of selective pallet racks. Used in conjunction with forklifts, stackers, storage cages and other material handling equipment, it is an essential warehouse storage management system to improve storage efficiency and storage capacity.

The number of pallets on each rack depends on the length of the rack’s beams and the dimensions of the pallets. In the design, it is necessary to reserve a certain gap between the pallet and the rack to prevent the goods from colliding with the rack when accessing. From a safety and economic point of view, it is usually more appropriate to store two pallets on each layer of a pallet rack.

L2500*D800*H4500mm is the most common size for selective pallet racks. The pallet rack is mainly used to store pallet goods. The standard pallet size in European countries is 1200*800mm, in the United States is 1200*1000mm, and in Asian countries is 1100*1100mm. Because the pallet standards used in various countries are different, and the warehouse sizes of different companies are different, pallet rack products are usually customized.

Pallet racks are the most widely used industrial racks, which can greatly improve storage efficiency. Common types of pallet racks are heavy duty pallet racks, double deep pallet racking, teardrop pallet racking, VNA pallet racking, drive in pallet racks, radio shuttle pallet racks, push back pallet racks, carton flow pallet racks, gravity flow pallet racks and so on.

The carrying capacity of the selective pallet racking mainly depends on the thickness of the steel material it uses, and it is closely related to the length of the beam of the rack. The carrying capacity is usually designed and customized according to the customer’s storage needs. The common carrying capacity of selective pallet racking is in the range of 1000-3000kg per layer, up to 5000kg per layer.

The selective pallet racking is mainly composed of upright, beams and row spacer, so the main cost is the purchasing steel materials and processing cost of raw materials. If you need the racking company to provide transportation and installation services, there will also be corresponding transportation and installation costs. For the cost of selective pallet racking, you need to contact our sales to get an accurate quote. Of course, in order to save costs, you can also choose to buy used pallet racks from the local area.

The fixation of selective pallet racks is very important. A stable pallet rack can prevent the rack from collapsing due to forklift impact and cause serious safety accidents. When installing the rack, use a wrench to tighten the nuts on the upright frame to ensure that they are tightened to the required torque value. After the beam is installed, insert the safety pins to prevent the beam from falling off. After the main body of the rack is installed, drive the expansion screws into the holes at the bottom of the rack upright.

The height of the selective pallet rack depends on the height of your warehouse and the maximum height of the forklift, which is generally less than 10 meters. When designing the height of the pallet rack, fully consider the height of your existing forklift, otherwise you will need to spend more money to buy a higher forklift in the future. From the perspective of rack manufacturers, the higher the rack, the thicker the material required, so the cost of the rack will be more expensive, that’s all.

Pallet racks are usually designed to hold two pallets of goods per layer, so to calculate the carrying capacity of each layer you need to add the actual weight of the goods on the two pallets. It is important to note that when a heavier weight of the goods on the pallet and the other a lighter weight of the goods on the pallet, to be on the safe side, when calculating the bearing capacity of two pallets we should calculate the weight of the heavier weight of the pallet, pallet rack of only carrying capacity is greater than the actual weight of the goods, but not less than the actual weight of the goods.
