July 03, 2025

As a flat bulk commodity, sheet materials have the characteristics of large volume, heavy weight and easy deformation. Their storage has special requirements for warehouse shelves. Choosing a suitable shelving system requires considering multiple factors such as the size and weight of the boards, the frequency of access, and the warehouse space. Which type of storage rack is good for storing boards? Let's find out.

Sheet metal rack

For large-sized heavy-duty plates, heavy-duty beam-type shelves are the first choice. Its load-bearing capacity can be designed to be over 5 tons, meeting the storage requirements of most panels. It can be used in conjunction with forklifts for operation, has a high degree of mechanization, and is suitable for warehouses with frequent inbound and outbound operations.

The second type is the cantilever rack. For plates with a relatively long length and a relatively small width, using cantilever racks for storage is a good choice. The single-arm load-bearing capacity of cantilever racks can be designed to exceed 1 ton, and the arm length can be designed to be up to 1 meter. The size and the number of load-bearing layers can all be customized according to requirements.

Sheet metal rack

And there are drawer-type shelves. The layered drawer design protects the surface of the board. The drawer can be fully pulled out, making it convenient to access the goods at the bottom layer. It has a good dust-proof effect and is suitable for the storage of precision boards. Of course, if there are high requirements for storage capacity and efficiency, intelligent board three-dimensional warehouse shelves are the preferred choice. They are relatively expensive, but the return on investment is also higher.
