Beam pallet racks are the most common type of steel storage racks, mainly composed of column pieces, beams, blocks, and other accessories. The access method of beam pallet racking is mainly to use forklifts to store and retrieve goods. Although the degree of automation is not very high, it must be the most cost-effective choice for most companies (for goods stored on pallets).
The goods stored on beam pallet rackings are generally relatively heavy, so the operation must be standardized during use to ensure the service life of the storage racks and avoid accidents. What are the common operating misunderstandings when we use beam pallet racking?
1. The rack support bars are the same as the beam load!
The rack support bars configured for beam pallet racking all play an auxiliary load-bearing role, and the pallet rack beams play the main load-bearing role. If the edge of the pallet does not exceed the beam, but is placed directly on the rack block, it is easy to crush and deform the rack block and cause the goods to fall from the industrial steel storage racks.
2. The racks are made of iron, and it’s okay to bump them!
Although the industrial steel storage racks are welded and processed with national standard steel, when there are goods on the racks, the steel storage racks are hit by external forces, and it is easy to cause the goods to fall or even collapse! So be sure to handle them gently when storing and retrieving goods.
3. There are anti-collision guardrails and foot guards, so it’s okay to hit them!
Anti-collision guardrails and foot guards only play a safety protection role, and they cannot be operated savagely because of these protective facilities!
Correct use of beam pallet racking can not only achieve efficient storage and retrieval operations, improve storage capacity utilization and labor productivity, but also extend the service life of the industrial steel storage racks.
