Shelf knowledge: What are the types of segmented shelves
Jul 08,2025
The shelves are classified into convenience store shelves, boutique lifestyle supermarket shelves, imported food store shelves, cash register, tobacco and alcohol shelves, pharmacy shelves, mother and baby store shelves, cosmetics shelves, boutique shelves, stationery shelves, toy shelves, book shelves, storage shelves, home furnishing store shelves, fruit shelves, vegetable shelves, and so on.
Storage shelves are classified by structure,
1: Beam style shelves are fast and convenient for storage and retrieval, ensuring that any item is first in, first out. There are no restrictions on forklift types, resulting in faster pickup speeds and a space utilization rate of 30% -50% (depending on the forklift type).
2: Corridor style shelves are used for high-density storage, with first in, last out options. Some items are picked up on a per order basis, with 20% -30% of options available. The picking speed is average, and the storage clearance reaches 60% of the entire warehouse.
3: Gravity shelves are an ideal choice for high-density and high-efficiency storage of goods. They adopt a free entry and exit design, have a high inventory turnover rate, and can be picked up quickly according to orders. They have good ground utilization and a net storage space of 60% in the warehouse.
4: Attic style shelving uses shelves as floor support and can be designed as multiple floors (usually 2-3 floors), with stairs and cargo elevators installed; A simple loft style shelf is supported by double holding columns and can store pallets and loose cargo. It is suitable for high warehouses, light and small goods, and manual storage and retrieval. Use elevators and hydraulic lifting platforms when there is a large storage capacity.
5: Cantilever shelves are suitable for storing long and irregular objects, such as various types of pipes, hoses, and steel plates.
6: Each group of electrically controlled mobile shelves can be independently moved on the track by electric (mechanical) drive, and a single channel can solve the operation of 6, 8, 10 or more sets of shelves. Press the button to drive the shelf and open the desired channel.
7: Tray style shelving is a type of shelving designed and used to store goods in the form of pallet units. It is typically operated by loading and unloading equipment such as forklifts.
Classified by load capacity,
1: Lightweight shelf plug-in combination structure, standard group plug-in, no need for a single connecting bolt, easy and fast disassembly and assembly, super strong closed steel plate structure, adjustable layer height every 50 millimeters, and a large load capacity of 150-250 kg per layer.
2: The medium-sized shelf adopts a structure combining crossbeam and laminated board, which can carry 300-500kg. The crossbeam has various specifications of cross-sections, and the structural components can be freely assembled and disassembled. The floor height can be adjusted with a spacing of 50mm.
3: Heavy duty shelves adopt a structure combining crossbeams and columns, with a single layer weighing 1-3 tons. They can store pallets or be configured with shelves for use. The shelves can be freely disassembled and adjusted to a distance of 75 millimeters.
The technology and safety factor of the shelf: The shelf components are made of rolled steel plates, and their strength and rigidity meet the standards of the mechanical industry. Carbon dioxide gas shielded welding, automatic welding. The accessories undergo four processes of oil removal, rust removal, acid washing, and phosphating before spraying. 180 degree epoxy resin spray powder, generally 60-80 microns. The deformation and bending ratio of the crossbeam after load-bearing is 1:200 of the length, with a tolerance of 10%, and the safety factor after load-bearing is 1.5 times.
