Racks produced by Tianjin warehousing rack factories typically use a variety of materials, with the following being common:
1. Steel
- Cold-rolled steel sheets: This is one of the most commonly used materials for making racks. For example, the heavy-duty pallet racks, medium-duty racks, and light-duty perforated racks of Tianjin Bainake Storage Equipment Technology Co., Ltd. are mostly made of high-quality cold-rolled steel sheets through roll pressing or stamping. It has advantages such as high precision and good surface quality. Different thicknesses of cold-rolled steel sheets can be selected according to different load-bearing requirements. For example, light-duty rack shelves may use 0.4 mm thick cold-rolled steel sheets, medium-duty rack shelves are 0.5 mm thick, and heavy-duty racks may use 0.8 mm or even thicker cold-rolled steel sheets.
- Hot-rolled steel sheets: Some rack uprights and other structural components may use hot-rolled steel sheets bent into shape, such as the uprights of some heavy-duty storage racks, which are bent from hot-rolled sheets at multiple angles to enhance the load-bearing capacity of the rack.
- Square steel and P-shaped steel: Often used for the beams and other parts of the rack. For example, in heavy-duty storage racks, high-quality square steel is selected for the beams, which has a large load-bearing capacity and is not easily deformed; the beams of medium-duty storage racks mostly use P-shaped steel, welded to the butterfly hole hangers on both ends.
2. Aluminum alloy: It has the characteristics of light weight and corrosion resistance, and is used in places with weight requirements or special environments, but it is relatively expensive.
3. Stainless steel: It has good corrosion resistance and is suitable for humid, acidic, and alkaline harsh environments. Racks for storing special items in food processing workshops, chemical enterprises, etc., may use stainless steel materials, but their price is usually higher than that of ordinary steel.
4. Wood: Generally used as an auxiliary material, such as laying wooden boards on the shelves to increase the friction between the goods and the rack, preventing the goods from sliding. At the same time, the wooden shelves can also provide a certain cushioning effect, protecting the goods from damage during storage and retrieval.
5. Plastic: Often used to make parts such as flow-through bars. In flow-through racks, plastic flow-through bars are used to allow goods to slide automatically by gravity, realizing a first-in, first-out storage method.
