I. Product Definition and Core Principle

Sliding Shelves, also known as gravity flow racks, are storage equipment that allows goods to slide automatically using rollers or flow strips. The core principle is to utilize the weight of the goods themselves to move from the picking end to the delivery end, creating a "first-in, first-out" (FIFO) operation without the need for additional power.

II. Structural Composition and Materials

Main Frame

Pillars and Beams: Made of cold-rolled steel plates or shaped steel, connected by bolts for a sturdy and strong load-bearing structure.

Key Component: Typically made of aluminum alloy or sheet metal, with a smooth and wear-resistant surface. Equipped with high-strength roller (bearing capacity of about 6kg per roller), ensuring smooth movement of goods.

Support beams: Installed every 0.6 meters along the depth direction of the shelves to enhance the rigidity of the strips and prevent deformation.

Dividers and Braking Plates: Use dividers to section off areas when the track is longer; install braking plates at the pick-up end to slow down the descent of goods, preventing shock.

Common Accessories

Electronic Tags: Optional, for information management of goods, enhancing picking efficiency.

Pallet Boxes/Component Trays: Designed to be used with shelving, these standardized containers facilitate easy storage and handling of goods.

Section 3: Core Advantages

Efficient Storage and Picking

First In, First Out (FIFO): Prevents goods from expiring and piling up, suitable for industries sensitive to shelf life such as food and pharmaceuticals.

One-time restocking, multiple pickups: Reduce restocking frequency, enhance operational efficiency.

High-density Storage: Boosts space utilization by over 60% compared to standard shelving, ideal for short-term storage of large quantities of goods.

User-friendly and secure

Convenient manual access: Goods automatically glide to the pick-up point, eliminating the need for handling equipment and reducing labor intensity.

Safety Design: Brake pads and separators minimize cargo impact, ensuring the safety of both operators and goods.

Flexibility and scalability

Modular design: Supports assembly at any workstation, adaptable to various site requirements.

High compatibility: Can be integrated with electronic tags and automation equipment (such as AGV) for intelligent management.

Environmental Protection & Cost Efficiency

Zero-energy operation: No power required, reducing operating costs.

Simple maintenance: Sturdy structure, high durability, reduces maintenance frequency and costs.
