In Shenyang racking factories, the choice of steel for storage racks is crucial, directly affecting the load-bearing capacity, stability, and service life of the racks. The following are several types of steel suitable for storage racks:
Carbon Steel
- Q235 cold-rolled steel: This is one of the most commonly used steels for storage racks, possessing good strength and toughness to meet the load-bearing requirements of most ordinary storage racks. Its excellent processing properties make it easy to cut, bend, and weld, allowing for the creation of rack components in various shapes and sizes. Furthermore, its relatively low cost and high cost-effectiveness make it widely used in the market.
- SPCC cold-rolled sheet: This material is relatively soft, has good plasticity, and is easy to process and shape. It is often used for light or medium-duty racks where load requirements are not particularly high but appearance quality is important. Its smooth surface looks good after painting, making it suitable for display racks in supermarkets and shopping malls, as well as storage racks in small warehouses.
Alloy Steel
- Alloy steel containing manganese, chromium, nickel, etc.: In some special environments, such as high-temperature, humid, or highly corrosive environments, ordinary carbon steel may not meet the requirements. In such cases, alloy steel is used. For example, stainless steel, containing chromium and nickel, has excellent corrosion resistance and can be used for extended periods in humid environments without rusting. It is very suitable for storage racks in the food and pharmaceutical industries, or for racks storing chemicals with corrosive properties. However, alloy steel is usually more expensive and is generally used in special situations where high performance and service life are required for the racks.
High-Strength Low-Alloy Steel
- Such as Q345B: This steel maintains high strength while also having good toughness and weldability. Compared to ordinary carbon steel, it has higher strength and can withstand greater loads. For heavy-duty storage racks, such as those storing large machinery, heavy components, etc., using high-strength low-alloy steel can increase the load-bearing capacity and stability of the rack without increasing the amount of steel used, thus reducing the overall cost and footprint of the rack.
The choice of steel for storage racks should consider the usage environment, load requirements, and cost-effectiveness. From carbon steel to alloy steel and high-strength low-alloy steel, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. A rational choice ensures the efficiency, durability, and economy of the rack.
