It is necessary to comprehensively consider the characteristics of the goods, load-bearing requirements, material structure, and usage environment, with the core being to match the actual warehousing scenario. The following are the key selection points:
Specify the type and size of the goods:
Cantilever shelves are designed specifically for long strips, tubes, plates, rings, and irregular materials such as steel, wood, pipes, profiles, etc. It is necessary to measure the length, diameter, and weight of the goods to determine the cantilever length (usually within 1.5 meters) and the height spacing.
Determine the load-bearing ability:
Select the corresponding load-bearing type of shelf based on the weight of the goods:
Light weight type: Each arm can support less than 150kg, suitable for lightweight equipment or plastic products.
Medium weight type: Each arm can bear 150-800kg, suitable for general mechanical parts.
Heavy weight type: Each arm can bear a weight of>800kg, up to 3000-5000kg, used for storing heavy-duty steel.
The material affects the load-bearing foundation. Q235 carbon steel can support a single arm load of over 500kg, while aluminum alloy can support around 200kg.
Choose the structural form.
Single/double-sided design: Double sided shelves have stronger load-bearing capacity and higher space utilization efficiency.
Fixed/Mobile Cantilever: Mobile is more flexible and suitable for storing materials of multiple specifications.
Scalable design: supports manual or electric control, no need to reserve forklift lanes, space utilization is increased by 3-5 times
Material and surface treatment.
The columns are mostly made of H-shaped steel or cold-rolled steel, the cantilever is made of square tube or C-shaped steel, and the base can be made of H-shaped steel or special profiles. Surface coating or galvanizing treatment is recommended to enhance rust and corrosion resistance, especially suitable for humid environments.
Adjustable and easy to install.
Choose a combination design, with column hole spacing typically at 100/140mm, and support for freely adjustable floor height. The main connection method is bolt or plug connection, which is convenient for disassembly and later adjustment.
Stability enhancement design.
Equipped with reinforcement structures such as back pull rods and vertical pull rods to enhance overall stability and prevent the risk of overturning. It is recommended to install safety guards and collision prevention devices on heavy-duty shelves.
Intelligent upgrade and customized services.
Optional integration of sensors and IoT technology to achieve real-time monitoring of cargo status. Suppliers generally support non-standard customization, including personalized requirements such as size, color, and number of layers.
