The main components of supermarket shelving are:
1. Frame Structure
- Uprights: Vertical columns that support the entire shelf, usually made of metal materials such as steel or aluminum alloy, providing the main support for the shelf.
- Beams: Connected between uprights, playing a reinforcing and supporting role, forming the shelf frame with the uprights, enhancing the stability and load-bearing capacity of the shelf.
2. Shelves and Support Components
- Shelves: Also known as shelves or trays, these are flat surfaces on the shelf used to place goods. They are usually made of metal or wood, with a smooth and flat surface, able to withstand a certain weight, and their height can be adjusted as needed to accommodate goods of different sizes and heights.
- Support Columns/Arms: The parts that connect the frame and shelves, supporting and securing the shelves. Their height can usually be adjusted as needed to meet the storage needs of different goods.
3. Protective and Dividing Components
- Back Panel/Mesh: The back can be a center back panel, mesh, or perforated panel, used to conceal the space behind the shelf, making the shelf look neater and more aesthetically pleasing, while also providing a certain degree of protection to prevent goods from falling.
- Side Panels: Located on both sides of the shelf, playing a protective and isolating role, preventing goods from falling from the sides, and also making the overall appearance of the shelf more complete.
- Partitions: A device used to separate different areas on the shelf, dividing the shelf into multiple small grids or areas. Usually made of metal or plastic, they can be fixed to the shelves or installed by inserting them into the slots in the frame. They improve the space utilization of the shelf and facilitate the classification and management of different goods.
4. Auxiliary Accessories
- Guardrails: Generally installed at the top or edges of the shelf to prevent goods from sliding off the shelf during handling or display, ensuring the safety of goods and personnel.
- Dividers: Used to separate different goods or prevent goods from rolling or sliding on the shelves, making the display of goods neater and more orderly.
- Price Tags: Usually installed at the front of the shelf to hold price tags, making it easy for customers to see the price of goods.
- Light boxes, tubes, and advertising boards: Commonly found in special shelves such as cosmetic shelves, used to display product information, promotional activities, etc., attracting customers' attention, increasing product display effects and sales opportunities.
- Hooks: A device used to hang goods, usually used to display small items or hang clothes, etc. They can be fixed to the shelves or installed by hanging them on the frame.
The components of supermarket shelving are diverse and each has its own function, together forming a stable and flexible system for displaying and storing goods.
