Are gravity-type shelves suitable for cold storages with high efficiency requirements?

Cold storage has a low temperature, so there are certain requirements for the storage racks used for storing goods. For example, they need to have a large storage capacity and high efficiency. There are many types of cold storage racks, but not all of them can meet the two requirements of high storage capacity and high efficiency. So, is it suitable to use gravity-type racks for cold storage with high efficiency requirements? The custom-made warehouse rack factory explains.

gravity-type racks

Gravity-type racks are designed in an inclined manner. Goods can automatically slide down using automation, achieving dense and dynamic storage. The characteristics of dense storage and first-in-first-out, along with a bit of automation functionality, have become the storage solution chosen by many warehouses. For cold storage, if the temperature is relatively high, such as not lower than -5°C, using gravity-type racks is a good choice.

If it is a low-temperature cold storage, such as one prone to frosting and freezing, then gravity-type racks are not suitable to use, as this would interfere with the smoothness of the goods' sliding. Therefore, if a low-temperature cold storage has high requirements for storage capacity and efficiency, semi-automatic shuttle racks or fully automatic four-directional vehicle three-dimensional warehouse racks can be considered.
