The fluent rack and the roller shelving are both efficient storage solutions for warehouses. However, they differ in their load-bearing capacity, applicable scenarios, and structural design. For instance, some customers are more concerned about their load-bearing capacity. So, which one can bear more weight? Let's find out.

The load-bearing range of the flexible strip warehouse shelving is generally between 200kg and 1000kg per layer, suitable for storing medium and light goods, and suitable for manual storage and retrieval. This type of shelving is widely used in e-commerce, auto parts, and other warehouses. Gravity-type shelving has a larger load-bearing capacity. The load-bearing capacity of a single pallet position can be designed up to 2 tons, suitable for storing heavy goods, and requires the cooperation of a forklift for storage and retrieval. It is suitable for manufacturing and logistics centers.

It can be seen that the flexible strip warehouse shelving has a smaller load-bearing capacity compared to the roller shelving. If you need to store heavy goods, in the case of pallet-on-shelf, a gravity-type shelving should be used for storage. These two types of shelving are suitable for First-In-First-Out (FIFO) management, reducing manual handling. You can choose based on the type of goods, warehouse space, and budget. In necessary cases, you can consult professional shelving suppliers for customized design.
