Why A Proper Warehouse Racking System Design Is Important For Your Plant

By Gwen Lowe


Things that are made and the parts or ingredients that go into making them must be stored safely, at least for a while. Proper warehouse racking system design and installations allow for the easy flow of material from one area, through the fabricating process, and into the other area. Steel is usually used as this represents the strongest material, although in some applications, fiberglass or extruded plastics are sometimes used.

The appropriate design for these elements of your plant must account for the size of materials and what platforms they are moved around on. The most popular form of racking design is the individual bay, based on the size of the average pallet. This makes it easy to place pallets into the bays and remove them from either the front or back of the bay.

Designs should allow the use of fasteners to attach them to the walls when possible. The free standing shelving will need additional supporting mechanisms and can be arraigned as needed. Needing to get into the bays from the back or side will also be worth thinking about. The many different configurations are ready for you to look at and think about.

Providing a lot of information to the design engineers will be a good first step in obtaining the best racking system for you. What happens and how it happens is an important part of this data. The weights of average pallets of materials will be listed as well as where it should be placed is taken into consideration. The conditions of the walls, floors, moisture content and how that effects where certain ingredients are placed will be taken into account.

Standard traffic patterns that you have always had may need to be altered in minor ways. The addition of racking systems that will handle all of your needs may not be able to be as close to other equipment as you would like. Different material handling equipment may be needed to allow for the up close removal and placement you have been accustomed to in the past.

When considering side access to bays, extra space will often be needed. The use of this type of access is appropriate at the ends of a continuous run of shelves and in specially constructed systems that can be explored. Many of the items stored will have to be analyzed in order to achieve the best use and the most safety in all situations.

Examining all of the options is what a firm specializing in these systems will help you with. There are many configurations of shelves, some of which have self facing rollers. There are specific designs that will have pallets held firmly with attachments until they are released. Others will be have rails that allow the insertion of specific drums, barrels or tanks.

Companies who specialize in these racking systems are available for consultation, design and installation of many types of shelving. Taking advantage of these firms will ensure your plant has the best system for your industry and the work flow you have or want. Bring to them your thoughts, needs and requirements and let them help you discover the easiest way to do the hardest things.
