1. Basic Structure of Beam-type Racks
The beam-type rack is like the "steel skeleton" of the warehousing industry, composed of three core components: uprights, beams, and shelf decks. The uprights serve as the vertical "spinal column," typically formed by cold-rolled steel coils; the beams act as the "ribs" connecting the uprights, secured via snap locks or bolts; and the shelf decks function like "pallets" to bear the load. This modular design allows the rack to be freely assembled like building blocks, easily adapting to height requirements ranging from 3 to 10 meters.
2. Why Warehouses Love Using It
High space utilization: Vertical stacking can increase warehouse utilization by 80%
Fast access efficiency: Seamless operation with forklifts, enabling "store and retrieve" on demand
Strong load-bearing capacity: A single layer can support weights of 1 to 5 tons, effortlessly handling heavy cargo
Flexible modification: Adding or removing shelves is as simple as adjusting bookcase dividers, allowing instant adaptation to changing inventory needs
III. Practical Tips for Selection
Measurement first: Accurately record key dimensions such as warehouse net height and column spacing
Product Profile: Clearly define the weight, dimensions, and access frequency of stored items
Passage reservation: The main passage is recommended to be 3-4 meters wide to facilitate right-angle turns for forklifts
Safety margin: It is recommended to retain a 20% surplus for actual load-bearing capacity to address sudden overload situations
