The structural design of heavy-duty racks is the key to ensure that they can effectively store cargo of different weights and sizes, which involves considerations at multiple levels.
The first is the design of the columns. As the main supporting structure of the shelf, the cross-sectional shape and size of the column are crucial. For the case of carrying heavier cargo, a rectangular or trapezoidal cross-sectional column made of high-strength steel can be used. This shape can provide a larger moment of inertia and enhance the bending resistance. At the same time, the wall thickness of the column should be determined according to the expected load-bearing weight, and a thicker wall thickness can withstand greater pressure. The hole spacing design on the column should also be flexible so that the height of the beam can be easily adjusted to adapt to the storage of cargo of different heights.
The design of the beam is directly related to the shelf's carrying capacity for cargo weight. The material of the beam should have high strength and good toughness, such as high-quality channel steel. Its cross-sectional shape should be able to effectively disperse the weight of the cargo and reduce local stress concentration. In terms of length, a variety of standard lengths can be designed, and different length combinations can be achieved through connectors to meet the storage needs of cargo of different sizes. In addition, the connection between the beam and the column should be firm and reliable, such as using high-strength bolt connection or special clamping structure to ensure that it will not loosen or deform when bearing heavy objects.
For the needs of storing large-sized goods, the overall layout of the shelf should be reasonable. It can be designed as an open beam structure to reduce the interference of the supporting components inside the shelf on the storage of goods. At the same time, under the premise of ensuring the stability of the shelf, the span and layer width of the shelf should be appropriately increased. In addition, a reinforcement structure can be designed at the bottom of the shelf, such as increasing the number and strength of the bottom beam to prevent the shelf from tilting due to the offset of the center of gravity of large goods.
In addition, the design of auxiliary structures such as diagonal braces should not be ignored. Diagonal braces can enhance the overall stability of the shelf, especially when bearing eccentric loads or heavy goods, can effectively prevent the shaking and collapse of the shelf, and ensure that Heavy-duty racks can be safely and reliably stored when facing goods of different weights and sizes.
