Beam pallet racking is suitable for cold storage use. The following is an analysis by a Foshan storage racking manufacturer:
The advantages of beam pallet racking make it suitable for cold storage
- High versatility: Beam pallet racking has no special requirements for the specifications, types, and loading capacity of goods. Whether it is small frozen food packaging or large frozen meat pallets, they can all be placed, meeting the needs of storing various goods in cold storage.
- High flexibility: Compared with the intensive racking commonly used in cold storage, such as drive-in racking and shuttle racking, beam pallet racking has more advantages when there are many types and specifications of goods. It can flexibly adjust the layout and storage method according to the size, shape, and weight of the goods, while intensive racking is more suitable for storing large quantities of goods with single specifications and categories.
- Higher space utilization rate: Beam pallet racking can be designed with a higher height, effectively utilizing the vertical space of the cold storage to increase storage capacity and achieve more goods storage in limited cold storage space.
- Solid structure: Generally made of high-quality steel, it has strong bearing capacity and stability, can withstand heavy objects in the cold storage, and ensures the safety of goods storage.
Issues and solutions to consider when using beam pallet racking in cold storage
- Influence of low-temperature environment: The low temperature in the cold storage may cause the racking material to become brittle, reducing its toughness and strength. Therefore, special attention should be paid to material selection. Low-temperature steel with good low-temperature performance, such as Q235D, should be selected to ensure that the racking can still maintain good performance in a low-temperature environment.
- Rust and corrosion prevention: The humidity in the cold storage is relatively high, and condensation is easy to occur. If the surface treatment of the racking is not done properly, it is easy to rust and corrode. Therefore, the surface of the racking should undergo high-quality anti-corrosion treatment, such as hot-dip galvanizing and powder coating, to enhance the rust prevention ability of the racking.
- High requirements for installation accuracy: In order to ensure the stability and use effect of the racking in the cold storage, higher accuracy is required during installation. For example, the verticality and horizontality deviations of the racking should be controlled within a smaller range, the vertical deviation of the columns should not be greater than 1‰ of the total height, and the height deviation of the same-layer beams should not be greater than 10 mm, etc. This requires a professional installation team and precise measuring tools to ensure installation quality.
- Safety protection measures: Because the temperature in the cold storage is low, the reaction of the staff may be relatively slow during operation, and the racking is relatively high, which poses certain safety hazards. Therefore, safety facilities such as guardrails and foot guards should be set up on the racking to prevent goods from falling and injuring people and to prevent personnel from accidentally colliding with the racking. At the same time, ensure the structural stability of the racking, such as equipping it with safety pins and partitions.
