What types of shelves are there?

The shelving system is a modular, assembled beam type, primarily composed of shelving panels, beams, longitudinal/transverse beams, and diagonal bracing. Designed according to European static container shelving standards, it ensures sufficient strength and stability. The shelving is designed to withstand seismic forces up to level 8.

High-rise Steel Structure Racking

Steel structure racking is the main equipment for storing palletized goods in high-rise racking storage areas. It mainly consists of rack panels, load-bearing beams, and diagonal bracing for reinforcement.

Uses Q235 cold-rolled strip steel from Baosteel (GB700 standard).

Rack uprights: Ω-shaped, 90×110×δ2.0mm

Standard Heavy-Duty Beam Racking

Beam racking is a professional warehouse racking system designed for storing and retrieving palletized goods. It features a simple and reliable structure, can be adjusted and combined arbitrarily, and allows for inbound and outbound operations without being restricted by the order of items. It is widely used in warehousing models that rely on pallet storage and forklift retrieval.

Drive-through Racking (Single and Double-sided)

Drive-in racking, also known as drive-through racking or continuous racking, is a type of continuous, undivided racking system where pallets are stored along supporting rails in a depth-wise direction, one after another, enabling high-density storage. Due to its high storage density, drive-in racking has relatively low investment costs; it is suitable for situations with a small variety of goods but large quantities, and where the goods retrieval pattern is predictable. It is often used to store large quantities of identical goods. Single-sided drive-in racking follows a “first-in, last-out” principle, while double-sided drive-in racking allows for a “first-in, first-out” principle.

Narrow Aisle Racking

The main body of the racking system is a beam-type racking system, differing from ordinary beam-type racking systems in that guide rails for narrow-aisle forklifts are installed on the ground at the bottom of the racks. However, it retains all the advantages of the beam-type racking system. All materials stored in the racking system have 100% selectivity, and the forklift can store any palletized goods at any time. The narrow-aisle forklift uses a “three-way stacking forklift,” which slides along the predetermined guide rails. The forks can move forward, and also turn to the left
or right.

Mezzanine Racking

Mezzanine racking systems utilize the racking structure itself to build multi-tiered mezzanine storage systems with lightweight shelving. This effectively increases storage space and is suitable for storing and retrieving lightweight and small to medium-sized goods. It is ideal for manual handling of a variety of goods. Goods are typically transported to the mezzanine level by forklift, hydraulic lifting platform, or freight elevator, and then moved to the required location using light-duty carts or hydraulic pallet trucks.

Gravity Flow Racks

Gravity flow racking, also known as gravity-fed racking, is an evolution of pallet racking and belongs to the category of pallet storage racks in warehousing. Gravity flow racking utilizes a first-in, first-out (FIFO) storage method, and the rack depth and number of levels can be customized as needed. Gravity flow racking is suitable for storing a small variety of goods in large quantities, offering high space utilization.

Push-Back Racking

Push-back racking, also known as push-in racking, typically features multiple layers of overlapping guide rails or trolleys between the front and rear beams. When storing or retrieving goods, the forklift operates only at the lower end of the racking aisle, without needing to enter the goods storage channels within the racking system.

Flow-Through Racking

Typically used in assembly lines and picking operations in distribution centers, it can be equipped with electronic labels for information-based management of goods. It is widely used in the automotive, pharmaceutical, chemical, and electronics industries.

Cantilever Racking

Cantilever racks offer unique and convenient advantages for storing long, slender items such as pipes and wires.
They are classified into three types based on load capacity: light-duty, medium-duty, and heavy-duty.
Based on their structural form, they can be divided into single-sided cantilever racks and double-sided cantilever racks.

Mobile Shelving Systems

Mobile shelving systems consist of shelves mounted on rollers that move along tracks laid on the floor. Their main advantage is improved space utilization, as a single aisle is sufficient for a group of shelves.

Medium-Duty Shelving (with shelves)

Features a structure where uprights and beams are connected via a plug-in assembly method, with beam height adjustable in 50mm increments. Suitable for applications requiring high load capacity and longer shelving units. Typically, each shelf has a load capacity of 300-800kg.
