What should I pay attention to when purchasing Henan storage shelves?

Warehousing facilities are an important part of a company's normal business activities. Once there is a problem with the storage shelves, it is likely to cause unnecessary economic losses or even casualties. So, how to choose the right storage shelves and carry out necessary supervision of the storage shelves? The editor of Henan Huadu Times will tell you in detail:

First, in terms of design. Warehouse racks are primarily composed of steel, and the cost of steel as a raw material accounts for the majority of the total cost. Therefore, reducing the amount of steel used in warehouse racks is the most direct and effective way to reduce the cost of warehouse racking in a project. However, reducing steel usage may also affect the load-bearing capacity of the warehouse racks themselves. Balancing the relationship between load-bearing capacity and reducing steel usage requires detailed structural calculation and analysis of the warehouse racks. However, few companies in China are currently able to master warehouse racking structural analysis, and most purchasing personnel have little understanding of warehouse racking structure, making it difficult to verify the authenticity of reports.

Secondly, the production quality of the storage shelves should be considered. Many storage shelves begin to experience peeling and rusting of the surface coating after two or three years of use. One of the reasons may be the quality of the steel. In order to reduce costs, some storage shelf companies reduce the total cost of the storage shelf project by reducing the amount of steel used in the storage shelves; on the other hand, they use cheap and low-quality thin plates rolled out by small rolling mills to produce storage shelves. Another possibility is the spraying of storage shelves. The spraying process of storage shelves often requires rust removal, degreasing, phosphating, water cleaning, drying, electrostatic powder spraying, hot melting, curing, etc. These steps have strict requirements on the processing time of each process. As long as one link is not handled well, the quality of the products produced will be greatly affected.

Therefore, when selecting warehouse shelving, users are advised to regularly sample steel for composition testing and mechanical property testing. Generally speaking, the yield strength and tensile strength of materials from large steel mills are very high. Furthermore, users should perform these tests themselves, rather than relying on suppliers for testing as is currently the norm. For spray-coated surfaces, a simpler test method is to scratch the surface with a 2H pencil. If the scratches don't damage it, it's good enough. If a pencil isn't available, a coin will also work. The quality of warehouse shelving production equipment can also affect product quality. Therefore, when selecting warehouse shelving, users are advised to carefully inspect the supplier's production base and understand their key production equipment, which will help them make the right judgment.

Thirdly, more attention should be paid to the installation of storage shelves. If the installation of storage shelves is not done well, it will bring hidden dangers to normal use in the future. The main problems encountered by users at present are: the storage shelves are installed, but they don’t know how to judge whether they are good or bad; some problems can only be discovered after long-term use. However, when problems are discovered after use, due to the large number of cross-construction units, it is unclear how they occurred and they are often not solved. In addition, in cases where there is cross-construction, it is recommended that users conduct an acceptance inspection before using the storage shelves, so that if problems are found in the storage shelves at a later stage, it is convenient to define the responsibility. Moreover, after the storage shelves are installed, they must also be inspected and accepted in a timely manner, and the fastening of standard parts, whether the beams are hung, etc. should be carefully checked. At the same time, the accuracy test of the storage shelves should be completed to provide a basis for judgment for future problems.
