How to maintain medium duty longspan shelving？

Longspan shelving belongs to a type of medium-sized storage shelf. This is distinguished and named based on the carrying capacity of the storage shelves. According to this classification principle, medium duty shelves are between light duty and heavy duty shelves, hence they are called medium duty shelves.

The maintenance of medium duty longspan shelving is essential in order to extend their lifespan, as it is inevitable that they will rust due to humid environments or other reasons during use. So how should medium duty longspan shelving be maintained during the use of warehouse shelves?

1. Sunscreen and moisture-proof.

Although the columns and beams of medium duty longspan shelves are made of metal and have painted surfaces, they may rust over time after exposure to moisture and sunlight, which can affect their service life.

2. Anti-heavy pressure.

Storage shelves of different specifications are all made based on load-bearing design. Therefore, the weight of goods placed on the storage shelves must be within the load-bearing capacity of the shelves. It is best for warehouse clerks to make load-bearing and load-limiting markings on the storage shelves.

3. Assign a dedicated person to use the forklift.

Especially heavy duty shelf rack warehouses must be equipped with powered lifting trucks, and the use and operation of lifting trucks must only be operated by certified personnel. The vast majority of the deformation of warehouse shelves and columns due to collisions is caused by non-designated personnel using pushers.

4. Anti-collision protection.

The most easily damaged parts of medium duty longspan shelves are the columns at the passages and corners, which are usually deformed by forklifts. Shelf suppliers provide matching anti-collision pillars based on different storage shelves, channel widths, and transportation tools.

5. Establish a shelf usage system.

The warehouse managers of different warehouses, different goods, and warehouse shelves need to establish shelf usage regulations so that each storage shelf user can learn and comply, which is the ultimate way to achieve goals.
