How to choose storage shelves for warehouses of different heights?

　　Different warehouse areas and heights can greatly limit the selection of shelf types. How to choose a storage shelf type based on the warehouse environment? Customized shelves are designed based on the height and area of the warehouse. Below, we will explain which warehouse shelves have height restrictions:

　　Most small and medium-sized warehouses under 200 square meters use manual storage and retrieval of goods. The height of this type of warehouse is not too high and the area is not large. You can choose lightweight shelves with low load-bearing capacity (300 kg/layer) or medium-sized shelves (500 kg/layer). These two types of shelves generally have a maximum height of 2 meters and can be adjusted up and down with a pitch of 65mm. The shelves have 4-5 layers to achieve a suitable height for manual pickup.

　　If the height of a warehouse exceeds 3.8 meters, you can choose to customize loft style shelves. The loft style shelves are designed for the middle floor, which is equivalent to adding one floor of storage space. The average height for a person is around 1.7 meters, and the bottom layer should have a height of about 2 meters. Otherwise, manual storage and retrieval of goods is inconvenient. If the single layer is too short and workers spend a long time inside for cargo storage and retrieval operations, it will feel more oppressive.

　　If the warehouse with a high steel structure factory building structure is also a dense warehouse, you can choose a through type shelf (through type shelf), and the height of the through type shelf is generally about 10 meters.
