warehouse shelf Warehouse storage system

Warehouse storage system

Light-duty warehouse shelves are a type of shelving specifically designed for "manual storage and retrieval, small and light items". They feature "affordability, lightness, and easy disassembly and assembly", making them the preferred storage solution for start-up e-commerce, retail stores, laboratories, and small factory workshops. The following is a systematic introduction from six dimensions: product definition, structural features, load-bearing range, common specifications, applicable scenarios, and key points for selection.

一、 Product Definition

Light Duty Shelf usually refers to the shelf-type shelf with a single-layer load-bearing capacity of no more than 150 kg. It is mainly made of cold-rolled steel plates or thin-walled steel pipes and connected by bolt-free clips or corner code screws. It can be freely assembled and the layer height can be adjusted at any time

二、.Structure and Materials

Column: Equal-sided Angle steel or C-shaped steel with bilateral punching, with a hole spacing of 50mm. Common cross-sections are 50× 30mm and 60× 40mm, and the wall thickness is 1.0-1.2mm. Crossbeam: P-shaped beam or Angle steel, connected to the column by clips or bolts. Layer plate: Steel layer plate: Cold-rolled steel plate is bent on all four sides, with concave reinforcing ribs spot-welded at the bottom. It has good load-bearing capacity and wear resistance. Wood laminate: density board/multi-layer board, low cost, impact-resistant, suitable for manual picking; Anti-static treatment: Replace the powder coating or add rubber sheets, which can be used for electronic components. Surface treatment: Pickling → phosphating → electrostatic powder coating. Standard colors are grayish white/blue, and customization is also available.

三、 Load-bearing Capacity and Specifications

Single-layer uniform load: 100-150 kg (maximum 200 kg per layer, but the span needs to be shortened). Conventional external dimensions (L×D×H, unit: mm) : 1200×400×2000, 1500×500×2000, 2000×500×2000; The number of floors is 4/5, and the floor height is adjustable to 50mm. It is recommended that the total height of a single group be ≤ 2.5m, which is convenient for manual hands to reach the top floor. The depth is 300 to 600 mm, taking into account both the field of view and capacity

四、Core Advantages

Low investment: The purchase price of a set of standard 4-layer 1.5×0.5× 2m steel shelf boards is 200 to 300 yuan, which is much lower than that of medium-sized shelves. Fast installation: With a bolt-free snap-on design, a single assembly can be completed by two people in 5 minutes. It can be disassembled and reassembled repeatedly during relocation. Flexible combination: It can be lined up in a row, back-to-back in groups, or equipped with side nets/back nets/doors to transform into a "small parts cabinet". Good compatibility: The shelves can be used to lay plastic turnover boxes and parts boxes, achieving a three-level management system of "loose parts → boxes → shelves".

五.、Typical Applicable Scenarios

E-commerce small item warehouse: An environment with a large number of SKUs such as clothing, shoes and bags, cosmetics, stationery, etc., and light individual items. Retail backyards: The inventory areas of convenience stores, baby and maternity stores, and pharmacies are at the same height and depth as the front shelves of the sales floor, ensuring rapid restocking. Laboratory/Library: Store reagent bottles, glassware, and expired magazines. Light-blocking/moisture-proof accessories can be added. Small factory workshops: Plastic pellets, hardware accessories, and electronic components, combined with workbenches, form "line-side warehouses". Office archives room: A4 document boxes, marketing materials, simple appearance, color options available, enhancing tidiness.

Light-duty warehouse shelves are positioned as "within 150 kilograms, manual storage and retrieval, and easy relocation at any time", achieving three-dimensional and visual management of goods at the lowest cost. As long as it is used strictly in accordance with the principle of single layer ≤ 150kg and total height ≤ 2.5m, it can provide a cost-effective and rapidly deployable storage solution for small and medium-sized scattered goods, and is a "storage expert" in light-load scenarios.
