In the warehousing and logistics industry, heavy duty shelves are a common storage device and are widely used because of their high load-bearing capacity and flexibility. However, many people will ask: Is the heavy shelf the beam shelf? Although the beam shelf is a kind of heavy shelf, but the two can not be completely equal.

What is heavy duty shelf?

Heavy shelf is a kind of storage equipment specially used to store large quantities and heavy goods. Its robust design, high load bearing capacity and efficient use of the vertical space of the warehouse. The main features of heavy-duty shelves include:

1. High load-bearing capacity: single-layer shelves can bear several tons or even more.

2. High space utilization: Through multi-layer design, improve the storage density of the warehouse.

3. Flexibility: The height can be adjusted to adapt to different sizes and weights of goods.

The characteristics of the beam shelf:

Beam shelves are one of the most common heavy duty shelves. Its basic structure consists of columns and beams, through which the goods are supported and usually used with pallets. The main characteristics of the beam shelf are:

1. Simple structure: easy installation and flexible use.

2. Strong load-bearing capacity: suitable for storing large quantities and heavy goods.

3. Easy to adjust: the beam height can be adjusted to adapt to different heights of goods.

4. High visibility: goods at a glance, easy to manage and pick.

Other types of heavy duty shelves

In addition to beam shelves, heavy duty shelves also include a variety of other types, each type has its own unique advantages and application scenarios.

1. Drive-in shelves

Drive-in shelves are a high-density storage system suitable for storing large quantities of the same kind of goods. The forklift can access the goods directly into the shelf aisles to maximize the use of warehouse space, but the access sequence is limited to first in last out (LIFO).

2. Double depth shelf

Dual-depth shelves further increase storage density by storing two rows of pallets in a single channel. It is necessary to be equipped with a special telescopic forklift for operation, which is suitable for a large storage volume but a relatively small variety of goods.

3. Gravity shelf

Gravity shelves use gravity to slide goods along rails for first-in-first-out (FIFO) storage. Suitable for goods requiring strict access sequence, such as food, beverages, etc.

4. Shuttle shelf

Shuttle shelves use shuttle vehicles to automatically access goods in the shelf aisles for efficient storage and pickup operations. It is suitable for the environment with large storage capacity and high storage frequency.

Heavy duty shelves include many types, and beam shelves are only one of them. Each heavy-duty shelf has its own unique advantages and application scenarios. In the selection of heavy shelves, enterprises should be based on their own storage needs, cargo characteristics and budget factors for comprehensive consideration. Through the reasonable selection and configuration of heavy-duty shelf system, the storage capacity and operation efficiency of the warehouse can be effectively improved, and efficient storage management can be achieved.
