The load-bearing capacity and beam and column specifications of storage racks are key factors determining their performance and suitability. Below is a detailed explanation of the different types of storage racks and their corresponding load ranges and beam and column specifications:

 

Light-duty shelving

- Load capacity: Each layer can typically carry 100kg-200kg, suitable for storing light, loose items.

- Beam and column specifications:
  - Column: 2m high, 38*38 (mm), each layer can withstand 100-150 kg.
  - Beam: Beam specifications are flexible, but generally do not involve heavy loads, so the specifications are relatively small, and the specific dimensions may vary depending on the design.

Medium-duty shelving

- Load capacity: Each layer can carry 150-250kg, suitable for storing moderately heavy goods.

- Beam and column specifications:
  - Column: Specifications such as 80*40 (mm), each layer carries 200-250KG, column height 2m.
  - Beam: Beams are fixed with clips or bolts, with moderate specifications to meet medium load requirements.

 

Heavy-duty shelving

- Load capacity: Each layer can carry 800kg-4000kg, suitable for storing heavy goods such as machinery and building materials.

- Beam and column specifications:
  - Column: Common column specifications include 60mm×80mm×2.0mm, 70mm×90mm×2.0mm, 70mm×100mm×2.0mm, 55×47×2.0mm, 85×67×2.0mm, 90×70×2.0mm, 100×67×2.0mm, 100×95×2.5mm, 120×95×2.5mm, etc. These specifications meet different load-bearing needs through different column sizes and thicknesses.
  - Beam: Common beam specifications include 50mm×80mm×1.5mm, 50mm×100mm×1.5mm, 50mm×120mm×1.5mm, 50mm×140mm×1.5mm, 50mm×160mm×1.5mm welded beams and 50mm×110mm×2.0mm P-shaped beams, etc. The choice of beam specifications needs to be determined based on the weight, size and access method of the goods.

 

The load-bearing capacity and beam and column specifications of storage racks are diverse. Users should consider their own needs and warehouse conditions comprehensively when choosing.
