Which type of steel storage rack can bear greater weight in the factory?

For factories that need to store heavy steel materials, choosing shelves with sufficient load-bearing capacity is the top priority for ensuring safety and efficiency. There are many types of storage shelves, and the load-bearing limits and applicable scenarios of different types of shelves vary greatly. So, which type of steel storage rack has a greater load-bearing capacity for the factory? Let's find out.

The first choice is the beam-type shelf. Each layer can bear a load of up to 1 ton to 6 tons, or even more. It is suitable for storing steel coils, plates, or bundled profiles with regular dimensions. Its advantage lies in its flexible access, which can be achieved by using equipment such as forklifts or overhead cranes to access any storage position at will. It is a highly versatile heavy storage solution.

There are also cantilever-type shelves, intelligent vertical storage shelves, or custom non-standard factory steel storage shelves. These types of storage shelves can all be designed with a large load-bearing capacity. When choosing which type, one should not only focus on the maximum load-bearing capacity figure, but also make a comprehensive decision based on the specific shape, weight, length, access frequency of the steel, and the warehouse space. And it is essential to have professional companies conduct mechanical calculations and design to ensure that the shelf system can withstand all dynamic and static loads, ensuring the safety of factory operations.
