Medium-duty racking is an important storage device in the warehousing and logistics field. Its design is positioned between light-duty and heavy-duty racking. Below is a detailed introduction:
Definition
Medium-duty racking belongs to the shelf-type racking. Classified by load-bearing capacity, the typical single-layer load-bearing range is 150kg-500kg (some reinforced types can reach 800kg or higher). It is assembled from uprights, beams, and shelves, supporting combinations of main and auxiliary frames. The structure is flexible and highly stable.
Features
1. Modular design and flexible adjustment: Using standardized components, it supports height adjustments in 50mm or 75mm increments to accommodate different sized goods; the number of layers can be increased or decreased, or the width can be extended to achieve dynamic expansion, meeting changing business needs;
2. High-strength material and safe structure: The main body is made of Q235B steel or cold-rolled steel sheet, with upright thickness ≥1.2mm, and excellent compressive performance; the beams and uprights are connected by "double fasteners + safety pins" to prevent loosening and falling off after long-term use, improving impact resistance;
3. Quick installation and convenient disassembly: Weld-free snap-on assembly process, a team of two can complete the assembly within a few hours; bolt-free design reduces maintenance complexity, and the component reuse rate is higher during later relocation;
4. Ergonomic optimization: The bottom layer height is adapted for forklift entry, and the middle layer is located in the comfortable zone for manual picking (1.6-1.8 meters), reducing operator fatigue; the shelf edges are equipped with anti-drop pins, and anti-slip pads further reduce the risk of cargo shifting;
5. Corrosion-resistant and durable treatment: After shot blasting and rust removal, the surface is electrostatically sprayed with epoxy resin powder, with corrosion resistance reaching national standard, extending service life.
Applicable Scenarios
1. Commercial retail: Supermarkets and shopping malls are used to display daily necessities, boxed goods, etc. The open structure facilitates self-service selection by customers and supports high-frequency replenishment operations;
2. Manufacturing industry warehousing: Storing mechanical parts, hardware tools, and other medium-weight materials, cooperating with Kanban management to achieve "first in, first out", improving the turnover efficiency of materials on the production line;
3. E-commerce logistics center: As a sorting and temporary storage area equipment, standardized cargo space management shortens positioning time, and works with barcode scanners to improve picking accuracy;
4. Document and material management: Libraries and archives are used to store books or file boxes. Layered labeling is clear, and ventilation and moisture-proof design is supported to protect paper media;
5. Pharmaceutical industry applications: Cleanroom storage that meets GMP requirements, suitable for the classified storage of pharmaceutical raw materials or packaging materials. The hollow shelf design enhances air circulation.
With its balanced load-bearing capacity, flexible space adaptability, and high cost-effectiveness, medium-duty racking has become the preferred solution for upgrading and renovating small and medium-sized warehouses. Its core value lies in its standardized design and modular combination, helping companies achieve orderly goods management, improved access efficiency, and long-term cost control within limited space.
