Can steel platform shelves be designed with a span of more than 6 meters?

The steel platform shelves are specially designed for the storage of heavy goods. They are generally constructed with 2 to 4 layers and require columns for support. However, too many columns can affect the storage capacity and the efficiency of loading and unloading. Can steel platform shelves be designed with a span of more than 6 meters? Analysis by the steel platform heavy-duty shelves company.

Sure. Steel platform shelves with spans of 6 meters or even larger, such as 8 meters, 10 meters, or even 12 meters, have been widely used in modern industrial buildings. This is not simply a matter of stacking materials, but a comprehensive technical solution that combines advanced structural mechanics and engineering experience. However, such designs must be custom-made by professional steel platform heavy-duty shelves companies, with professional mechanical analysis software for load-bearing and other evaluations.

The core purpose of large-span design is to maximize the effective utilization of the bottom space, eliminate the dense middle columns, and provide sufficient space for the turning, reversing of large vehicles (such as forklifts, trucks), and the layout of production line equipment. The open view and complete space facilitate the flexible division of functional areas and future adjustments, meeting the dynamic production needs.
