Rack procurement refers to the process by which a company or organization selects and purchases a suitable racking system to meet its warehousing and logistics needs. Below is a detailed explanation of rack procurement:
1. Definition and Purpose
- Core Concept: Rack procurement is the act of obtaining racking equipment from suppliers that meets specific storage needs (such as goods type, weight, space constraints, etc.). The goal is to optimize warehouse space utilization, improve goods management efficiency, and reduce operating costs. For example, the high-bay racking procurement project of Universal Technology Group International Logistics Co., Ltd. clearly defined the specific requirements for supply and installation services.
- Function-Oriented: Different types of racks (such as pallet racks, drive-in racks, and mezzanine racks) are suitable for different scenarios and need to be matched with the characteristics of the goods.
2. Key Considerations
- Technical Parameters: Including material processing technology (degreasing and rust prevention), load-bearing capacity, stability design, etc. For example, steel structure analysis and reliable manufacturing are the basis for ensuring the safety of heavy-duty racks; the quality of surface powder coating directly affects the support strength and durability.
- Environmental Adaptability: It is necessary to comprehensively evaluate the warehouse area, goods flow, and compatibility issues to avoid reducing access efficiency or safety hazards due to unreasonable layout.
- Customized Needs: Some projects require customized sizes and functions, such as the integration of automated three-dimensional warehouses or intelligent weighing systems.
3. Implementation Process
- Needs Analysis: Clarify the goods specifications, inventory, and operation mode (manual/mechanical assistance), and determine the rack type (fixed/mobile) and load level (light/medium/heavy).
- Supplier Selection: Verify qualifications (independent legal person qualifications), performance cases (similar project experience), and credit records, and exclude untrustworthy companies; prioritize manufacturers with production capacity and after-sales service.
- Business Negotiation and Contract Signing: Involves the reasonableness of quotations, delivery cycle, installation and debugging, etc. Large projects may use a bidding method for open bidding.
4. Typical Application Scenarios
- Industrial Production: Cantilever racks are used to store pipes and profiles; drawer racks are suitable for mold storage; and cantilever racks serve automated warehouse systems.
- Commercial Warehousing: Supermarkets use light and medium-duty shelving for free combination; cold storage environments use stainless steel rust-proof materials to adapt to low-temperature conditions.
Rack procurement is not a simple commodity transaction, but a systematic project involving technical docking, scheme design, and long-term cooperation. It is recommended that companies formulate scientific procurement strategies based on their own industry characteristics, combined with the professional capabilities and case experience of suppliers.
