In order to have a successful Industrial Racking facility, safety and versatility are two of the most important factors to consider. It is important to design a safe warehouse to ensure you comply with regulations set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). This will ensure your warehouse is safe and will be efficient and productive in the long run.
Shelving systems are one of the best storage solutions for warehouses, manufacturing plants, and other storage facilities because of their safety and versatility. Despite its durability, stability, and space efficiency, it is appropriate for a variety of industries, including pharmaceuticals and automotive parts.
Increasing Safety and Versatility with Industrial Shelving
In addition to providing safety and versatility to a storage facility, industrial shelving also improves productivity:
Durability
Typically, industrial shelves are made of high-grade steel. This durable material can handle heavy objects and withstand intensive use. Forklifts, temperature changes, daily operations, and accidental impacts from machinery, like forklifts, are all factors that make industrial shelving vital in fast-paced storage facilities.
Industrial Shelving systems are available from Racking Store in both new and used forms. From high-density storage options to mobile storage racks, you can choose from a variety of styles built with different steel grades depending on your needs.
Pre-engineered bulk storage racks 84 inches high are made of 14 gauge steel, ensuring excellent durability. Designed for handling bulky goods, each beam pair is capable of bearing up to 1,900 pounds.
In addition, we provide several additional shelf deck options in various sizes if you require additional decking materials, including solid steel, flat wire, and particleboard.
Strength
It is easier to load industrial shelving units than standard retail shelving. Industrial shelving units are much stronger than retail shelving units. Their durability and capacity to withstand impacts and scratching make them a popular choice for storing machine parts, tools, and heavy equipment in mechanic shops and manufacturing facilities.
In addition to being heavy, industrial shelving should be designed to ensure safety and ease of access. Steel shelving is available in open or closed designs.
The panels on closed steel shelves prevent products from falling and keep them enclosed. In addition, the panels improve the shelf's stability. Retail settings can also benefit from closed steel shelves since they are more visually appealing and more organized.
In addition to the framed and braced structure, open steel shelving is also characterized by its lack of any panels. As opposed to closed shelving, open shelving offers easy access to all sides of the products. It is extremely versatile since it is less restrictive than closed Heavy Duty Shelving.
The 48" industrial steel shelving we offer is available in both open and closed configurations, depending on your requirements. The shelf has a 600-lb load capacity and you can choose a depth that matches the size and type of products you store. The shelf depths are 12”, 14”, or 24”.
