Shelving generally refers to racks used for storing goods; it is a storage device used for storing items in pieces. Below is a detailed introduction to shelving:
Main Uses and Classifications
- Classification by Use
- Warehouse shelving: Used for warehouse storage, such as beam shelving, drive-in shelving, and shuttle shelving, focusing on space utilization and load-bearing capacity.
- Supermarket shelving: Suitable for retail spaces, such as supermarket and convenience store display racks, emphasizing display and customer accessibility.
- Display shelving: Used in showrooms or shops, emphasizing visual effects, such as clothing racks and jewelry display cases.
- Classification by Structure
- Heavy-duty shelving: Such as beam shelving, made of cold-rolled steel, with columns up to 6 meters high, strong load-bearing capacity, used for pallet storage.
- Light-duty shelving: Such as light-duty perforated shelving, versatile, can be used for tool carts, hanging systems, etc.
- Special forms: Mezzanine shelving (multi-layer structure, space-saving), cantilever shelving (for storing long or irregular items), gravity shelving (first-in, first-out, automated access), etc.
Functions and Advantages
- Improve space utilization: For example, through-aisle shelving (no aisle design) can increase storage density, suitable for high-cost space scenarios such as cold storage.
- Protect goods: Goods are stored in layers to avoid crushing and loss, especially suitable for fragile or high-value items.
- Improve operational efficiency: With forklifts, stackers, etc., to achieve fast access, such as the pallet access method of beam shelving can greatly improve efficiency.
Application Scenarios
- Industrial warehousing: Heavy-duty shelving and electric mobile shelving (divided into rail and trackless types) are suitable for large quantities of small varieties of goods.
- Retail industry: Supermarket shelving needs to balance display and inventory management, such as clothing racks and platform shelving.
- Special environments: Electric shelving used in cold storage needs to have anti-freezing treatment for electrical components to ensure normal operation at low temperatures.
Development Trends
With the development of modern logistics, shelving is gradually evolving towards automation and intelligence, such as shuttle shelving (integrating light, machine, and electricity technology) and electric mobile shelving, which can accommodate flexible access to multiple varieties and large quantities of goods.
Shelving is not only a storage tool, but also a key link in optimizing space and improving efficiency in modern logistics and business operations.
