Safety has always been something that every shelf user must keep in mind. Although the shelves are made of iron, it is still necessary to use and maintain them correctly. Correct use can reduce shelf damage and unnecessary costs, and regular maintenance can extend the shelf's service life. If the correct safety use and maintenance are not performed correctly, then a little carelessness will not only cause the loss of stored goods, but may also reduce the shelf's service life. The following is a guide to the correct safety use and maintenance of heavy-duty shelves.
Correct and safe use of heavy-duty shelves
10 points to note
1. Anti-overload and heavy pressure
Shelves of different specifications are designed and manufactured according to the load-bearing design. Shelves designed by shelf technicians have a maximum load, so the weight of the goods stored on the shelves must be controlled within this maximum load range, and the smaller the load, the safer and more beneficial it is for this maximum load range. As a warehouse manager, the shelves should be marked with load limits and follow the principle of heavy bottom and light top.
2. Anti-collision protection
The most vulnerable parts of heavy shelves are the columns at the passages and corners. In warehouses where forklifts and other handling equipment are used to store and retrieve goods, accidents of forklift collision and deformation often occur. Therefore, anti-collision guardrails should be installed, and during the operation of the forklift, they should be handled with care as much as possible to reduce the collision between the handling equipment and the shelves, thereby reducing the damage rate. Wellguarding specializes in the production of various warehouse anti-collision safety plastic products, which plays a very important protective role for shelves.
3. Anti-overheight and overwidth
Pay attention to the size of the goods, and do not overheight or overwidth. Because when the shelf is installed, its layer height and layer width are fixed, the size of the pallet and the goods should be slightly smaller than the size of the shelf by 100mm; if the stored goods change, they can be reassembled.
4. Prevent top-heavy
Follow the rules for storing goods, that is, the principle of placing light objects on the upper floors of the shelf and heavy objects on the lower floors, that is, the shelf is from top to bottom, from light to heavy, so as to maintain the overall balance of the shelf and the stored goods, and achieve a safer and more stable purpose.
5. Moisture-proof, sun-proof and rain-proof
Although the shelves have been surface-treated, they should also be moisture-proof during use. Although the columns and beams of heavy-duty shelves are all metal products and have painted surfaces, they may rust after being exposed to moisture and sun for a long time, which will greatly reduce its service life. In this regard, heavy-duty shelves need to be wiped clean with a rag after being damp to prevent the shelves from rusting. Special attention should be paid to the interface position of the shelves, which is more prone to rust.
6. Special pushers for special people
Heavy-duty shelves and high-rise warehouses are generally equipped with power pushers, which can improve work efficiency during operation. However, it must be noted that the use and operation of pushers should be operated and driven by certified professionals. In this way, the phenomenon of most warehouse shelf columns being hit and deformed can be avoided.
7. Pallets
Generally, shelves are equipped with pallets, but when choosing, we must choose pallets of qualified quality and do not use non-standard pallets.
8. Personnel safety
When storing goods on the shelves, be sure to avoid people entering the bottom of the shelves and adhere to the principle of safety first.
9. Shelf use system
Warehouse managers must formulate a shelf use system, which is very necessary for the use of shelves in the warehouse. It is necessary to let every shelf user abide by the system to use it, so as to ensure the safety and service life of the shelves.
10. Daily cleaning
Generally, the service life of storage shelves is more than 15 years. Proper maintenance and care will extend the service life of the shelves. Therefore, in daily use, you can take care of the equipment by wiping, cleaning, lubricating, adjusting, etc., so as to reduce the chance of shelf damage, which can also reduce the cost of the enterprise.
Maintenance guide for heavy-duty shelves: 11 inspections
- Regularly check the tightness of the bolt connection of the heavy-duty shelves, whether there are expansion bolts, and prevent looseness and falling off.
- Regularly check the connection between the beam and the column to see if there is any damage, and replace the damaged beams and columns in time, and do not take chances.
- Check whether the configuration of the heavy-duty shelf beam is consistent with the original design, and the deformation of the beam.
- Regularly check the stress of the beam when the heavy-duty shelf stores goods.
- Check whether the beam, partition, cantilever, ground rail, etc. are damaged, and correct the straightness of the column.
- Check whether the weight of the goods on the pallet is overweight to prevent shortening the service life of the pallet.
- Check whether the size and type of all pallets match?
- Regularly check whether the heavy-duty shelf parts have lost paint and repaint in time.
- Regularly check the stability of the heavy-duty shelf. You can stand in the shelf and shake the shelf lightly to check its stability when it is under force.
- Check the use of heavy-duty shelves to see if some safety issues have been noticed during the use of the shelf.
- Check whether the safety pin is complete, and whether the foot guard and other protective facilities are in place.
Generally, users who have used heavy-duty shelves for a long time have noticed such a problem: that is, the shelves are prone to rust. We can generally remove rust through high-pressure water abrasives and shot blasting. However, instead of using other methods to deal with rust, it is better to choose heavy-duty shelves with higher corrosion resistance from the beginning. The use of some shelf accessories in the later installation process also guarantees the anti-corrosion performance of the shelves to a certain extent. For this reason, when selecting and using shelves, major companies should choose shelves with anti-corrosion properties, which can not only guarantee the service life of the shelves, but also save costs for the company.
Here I would like to warn everyone: the maintenance and maintenance of heavy-duty shelves can save a considerable part of the resources for the company, and daily inspections and maintenance should be carried out at least once a year to check whether each component is deformed or tilted. In addition, it should be noted that electric forklifts, plastic pallets and other supporting equipment should also be regularly maintained and maintained, and problems should be found in time, so that new components can be reconfigured, so that they can be used safely and safely.
