The company will briefly explain it for you.

The structure of the storage warehouse. Initially in designing the storage shelving plan, it is essential to understand the height of the warehouse to determine the height of the storage shelving. Columns may be present in the warehouse, which need to be avoided during the design phase. The structure and flatness of the warehouse floor will affect the design and installation. Of course, fire protection facilities and lighting equipment are also within the scope of design considerations. Therefore, providing clear warehouse drawings from the client aids in the later stages of designing the storage plan.

2. Characteristics of Stored Items. First, the weight of stored items directly affects the load-bearing capacity of storage racking, and the size of the stored items also impacts the dimensions of the shelves, such as the height of each shelf, which needs to consider the height of the stored items. Sometimes, depending on the different requirements of items, auxiliary equipment such as pallets, storage cages, and containers are used in storage. The shape of items is a must-considered factor in the design of storage racks.

3. Storage, Handling, and Shipment. Depending on the type of goods stored, the handling equipment varies; for instance, forklifts may be used, which can affect the spacing between shelves. Lighter items may be manually stored, and in some cases, logistics carts or lift trucks can be utilized for the task. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the client's storage and handling methods when designing warehouse racking.

4. Inventory in and out volume. Regardless of the FIFO or LIFO method, or the frequency or quantity of storage and retrieval, the design of the storage racking system should be tailored to the data for efficient storage.

The above are the key pieces of basic information that sales and technical staff need to gather from the customer when designing storage shelves.
