What Should We Pay Attention to When Designing Cold Storage Warehouse Shelves?

When designing cold storage refrigeration racks, there are five major aspects to consider:

• Constant load bearing capacity: This refers to the weight of the refrigeration rack structure itself, as well as the weight of the C-shaped steel, purlins, roofing panels, and wall panels used to connect the rack to the building frame.

• Vertical impact load: This refers to the impact load generated when the stacker places goods on the rack.

• Live load bearing capacity: This refers to the weight of the goods and pallets placed on the cold storage racks, as well as the snow/rain load on the roof.

• Wind load: This is a key factor in the overall load calculation of the three-dimensional warehouse.

• Earthquake resistance: According to the regulations for seismic design, the general seismic prevention level is 7.

When designing cold storage refrigeration racks, the following considerations should be kept in mind:

Material selection

Cold storage refrigeration racks require materials that are resistant to cold, corrosion, and rust. This is to adapt to the humid environment inside the cold storage.

Rack type selection

There are many types of cold storage refrigeration racks. When designing and selecting these racks, the racks that are most suitable for the warehouse need to be chosen. However, the type of rack chosen should also be based on the type of goods being stored, as this choice can greatly affect the storage of goods.

Design of racks with higher usage rates

Cold storage facilities do not usually have a large area, so to maximize the space for storing goods, racks with higher usage rates should be designed. This ensures that the refrigeration rack takes up a small area but can still store more things.

Enterprises choose cold storage refrigeration racks for the following reasons:

Strong and durable, with high safety

The storage density of cold storage racks is higher and the structure is more sturdy, greatly increasing the safety of their use.

Convenient loading and unloading of goods

The entrance and exit of goods are completed by forklifts, and the high degree of automation greatly increases the efficiency of loading and unloading, making it suitable for large quantities of goods and facilitating the loading and unloading of cargo trucks.

Ensuring the safety of goods

The cold storage refrigeration racks have a cold air fan in the aisle to cool the temperature and ensure that the entire cold chain logistics process occurs in a low-temperature environment, thereby maximizing the safety of the goods and preventing any changes in quality.

Increasing the usage rate of the cold storage

Cold storage refrigeration racks have over 1,500 storage units and provide great value for money, thus greatly increasing the usage rate of the cold storage.

Avoiding human factors

Cold storage racks are managed through dedicated automation software, thus avoiding any problems caused by human error.
