How many tons of load can the drawer-type sheet material shelf bear?

Warehouse shelves are needed for storing sheet materials. Different specifications and weights of sheet materials require different types of shelves for storage. For example, wooden sheet materials are relatively lightweight and are usually stored using beam-type shelves or cantilever-type shelves. However, steel sheet materials are very heavy and often stored using drawer-type sheet material shelves. How much can the drawer-type sheet material shelves bear? The factory of layer board shelves provides an analysis.

The load-bearing capacity of warehouse shelves is not a single value but is determined by two indicators: single-layer load-bearing capacity and overall load-bearing capacity. If 5 tons of goods are evenly distributed across 5 layers of drawers, then each layer can be designed to bear 1 ton. But if it is a single 5-ton sheet material, then the layer of drawers needs to have a local load-bearing capacity of 5 tons.

The single-layer load-bearing capacity of drawer-type sheet material shelves can be designed from 1 ton to 10 tons or even higher. The higher the load-bearing capacity, the higher the cost. Therefore, there is no need to customize a load-bearing capacity that is too much for the goods to avoid waste of funds. It should be noted that the load-bearing capacity when the drawer-type shelf is stationary is greater than the load-bearing capacity when it is withdrawn. Therefore, it needs to be designed based on the load-bearing capacity when it is withdrawn. The factory of layer board shelves can provide free design and quotation based on the requirements.
