In the past, warehouse shelves were produced by welding with hot profiles. The increase in consumer demands has directed manufacturing and selling companies towards new solutions. Products must be preserved in a healthy and secure manner.
Working with stock is essential for companies to survive. The widespread adoption of e-commerce is raising the standards in service. Companies engaged in wholesale and retail sales must effectively utilize shelf systems. The same holds true for logistics companies, where rapid installation and cost efficiency are crucial.
Shelf systems not only provide organization but also ensure the protection of products from heat, humidity, and water. Accessibility to products is essential for quick and convenient loading.
What Are Medium Duty Shelf Systems?
Medium-duty shelf systems are commonly preferred by wholesalers and supermarkets. They are also ideal for electronic, construction, and spare parts manufacturers and sellers. These systems add a stylish look to warehouse spaces and are used for storing products that are voluminous but not excessively heavy. They provide easy access to products and are adaptable to any type of space due to adjustable gaps. If the storage space is high, they can be converted into mezzanine platforms.
Various options are available based on the characteristics of your storage space. Low-level shelf systems, high-level shelf systems, platform, compartmentalized, etc. Medium-duty shelf systems are made of strong and non-bending steel. You can choose the profile thickness based on the weight of the products to be stored. It is essential for the shelves not to corrode, and plastic plugs attached to the shelf legs prevent damage to the floor.
What to Consider in Choosing the Right Warehouse Shelf System?
When choosing a shelf system, you should first review the business requirements. It's beneficial to consider your physical space and the arrangement you want to make. Your choice of products to store or display will be decisive. For example, you can choose a depth shelf system. Options like double deep, shuttle pallet rack, drive-in, drive-through, pallet flow rack, and push back support volume utilization.
If you need constant access to some pallets, a depth shelf system may not be suitable. Companies operating on the "first in, first out" principle should opt for shuttle pallet racks, pallet flow racks, or drive-through racks. Consideration should also be given to order picking methods such as boxed, palletized, piece picking, etc.
Another criterion is forklift access. Arrangements should be made according to safety and efficiency principles, preventing damage to the shelves.
In areas with a high risk of earthquakes, designs should be based on ground survey studies. Interior lighting, climate control, and cleaning requirements should also be taken into account in the selection process.
