Aluminum Shelves Selection and Operation and Maintenance Guide
1. Core specifications and selection criteria
Model Classification and Load-bearing Characteristics
Light-duty shelves: 20×20mm cross-section, 1.4mm wall thickness, static load-bearing capacity of 100-200kg, suitable for light-load scenarios such as display racks and small tool storage;
Medium-duty shelves: 30×30mm cross-section, 1.5mm wall thickness, maximum load-bearing capacity of 200-500kg at a span of 1 meter, suitable for workbenches and medium-sized equipment frames;
Heavy-duty shelves: 40×40mm cross-section, 1.4mm wall thickness, static load-bearing capacity of 500-2000kg, suitable for high-intensity scenarios such as storage shelves and automated equipment.
Material Properties
The mainstream material is 6063-T5 aluminum alloy, with a tensile strength of 160-205MPa and better corrosion resistance than ordinary steel. The surface can be anodized or sandblasted.
In scenarios with high anti-corrosion requirements, it can be equipped with polyurethane coating, which is resistant to salt spray for ≥1000 hours and is suitable for food processing, pharmaceutical cold storage and other environments.
2. Structural design and installation specifications
Components
Technical Requirements
The standard spacing is 1.5 meters, and the cantilever structure needs to be increased to ≤ 1 meter
Warehouse Shelf Design Specifications GB-202511
Beam connection
Wedge-shaped locking nut + hexagon socket bolt, anti-loosening design
ISO 9001 quality management system
Bottom reinforcement
Anchor bolt depth ≥150mm, spacing ≤800mm

3. Application Scenarios and Adaptation Solutions
Industrial warehousing
Heavy-duty configuration: 4040 profile drive-through racking (2m height x 3m span), equipped with anti-slip supports, single-layer load-bearing capacity ≥ 500kg, suitable for full-case storage of aluminum and sheet materials;
Automation upgrade: The integrated AGV robotic handling system increases storage density by 40% and turnover efficiency by 30%.
Commercial Display
Quick-release design: 3030 profile modular rack (1.5m long x 2.3m high), supports modular lighting and side-mounted accessories, and can display 120 small items;
High-end scenarios: Anodized matte surface treatment, paired with LED light strips (color temperature 4000K), enhances brand image.
Home use
Basado en normas
Folding solution: 2020 profile four-layer folding rack (empty thickness 0.3m), with adjustable layer height to adapt to seasonal storage needs;
Column spacing
Safety reinforcement: Anti-dump fasteners are installed at the bottom to increase lateral stability by 50%.
IV. Operation and Maintenance Optimization Strategy
Regular maintenance
Check the vertical deviation of the columns (≤1/1000) and the horizontal error of the beams (＜2mm) every quarter, and use laser calibration tools for adjustment;
The anti-corrosion coating should be reapplied every two years, with special attention paid to checking the corrosion of welds and joints.
Intelligent Management
Deployment of the WMS system increased inventory turnover by 30%, with a mis-delivery rate of <0.03%;
RFID tags track shelf status in real time, and the abnormal vibration alarm response time is ≤ 5 seconds.
