Pallet is now one of the common logistics equipment in logistics transportation and warehousing turnover, and it is also one of the most frequently used storage equipment in conjunction with Storage Racks. The use of pallets can facilitate the direct handling of the goods in the storage shelves with a forklift, which not only improves work efficiency but also saves manual handling costs.
Heavy duty Racks, radio shuttle racks, etc. need to be combined with their own characteristics. According to different storage needs, choose pallets of different materials. Pallets are classified into metal materials, wood, plastics. Three materials.
Heavy duty racks:
Heavy duty racks are typical of using metal pallet racks. Usually one set of this kind of shelf can have 2-3 metal pallets placed side by side for the needs of placing goods. This type of rack is often called a pallet rack. When using metal pallets for heavy duty racks, pay attention to some problems.
First of all, determine the position between the metal pallets and have a proper space to facilitate the operation of the forklift; secondly, try to place the metal pallets neatly on the beams of the racks, and handle the relationship between the goods and the metal pallets. Avoid the occurrence of safety accidents. The bottom of the pallet rack must be installed with anchors to ensure the stability of the pallet rack.
Radio Shuttle rack:
As an automated Racking System, the radio shuttle rack store the pallets placed on it in a deep position. Plastic pallets are the main type of pallet used and are similar to through-type racks in terms of cargo space. The basic principle of the radio shuttle rack is: the rack and the movable shuttle form a simple unit, which can be moved in the warehouse.
The racks with shuttles running are controlled by a front-end central console. The forklift picks up the shuttle and places it on the center console of the designated rack. Then the forklift puts the inbound pallet on the shuttle to start the storage operation. When the forklift is about to store the next pallet, the shuttle will quickly and steadily transport the pallet to the designated storage location in the rack.
