When installing shelf renovations in factory warehouses, the most considered question is how much the storage capacity of the warehouse where the shelves are installed increases. The more shelves are placed, the greater the storage capacity, but in practical applications, it is more important to consider the convenience of the daily operation of the warehouse after the shelf installation. In addition, the installation of shelves needs to fully consider the size of the impact of the position of the pillars, doors, and fire hydrants on the installation of shelves. How can you accurately estimate the storage capacity of the warehouse after the shelves have been installed?
The number of shelves that can be installed in the warehouse
When designing a warehousing scheme, it is necessary to consider the placement of shelves and the size of the working channel between shelves. The arrangement of shelves is mainly horizontal, vertical and oblique. According to the actual situation of the warehouse, the design of the passage can be against the wall or in the middle of the shelf. According to the daily storage and retrieval needs of the warehouse, it is necessary to make a trade-off between the utilization rate of the warehouse and the efficiency of picking. The spacing of the reserved passage between the two rows of shelves should take into account the width required for manual access and forklift access operations. The width of the passage for manual access to goods is generally reserved for 80cm to 120cm; when selecting a forklift to access goods, the safety of the aisle is equal to the safe running distance of the forklift plus the reserved safety space.
The goods picking rate of ordinary heavy-duty shelves is 100%; double-deep shelves and double-row shelves are two heavy-duty shelves placed side by side, which need to be used with scissor forklifts; the entire shelf with drive racks is not divided into channels, so that in order to meet the convenience and safety of operation, the total depth of single (wall area) shelves is generally controlled within 6 pallets. When the aisle of the drive-in shelf is designed to access goods in both directions, the storage depth is generally controlled at 10 pallet depths to improve the efficiency and reliability of forklift access; the shuttle shelf is a shelf after upgrading to a shelf type, the total shelf depth can reach 30 pallet depths, and the configuration of the guide rail increases safety, in the same space than the usual beam shelf storage twice.
