Successful Application of Heavy-Duty Pallet Racks with Steel Decking in the Packaging Industry
An enterprise specializing in flexible packaging and packaging solutions has built a new factory in Thailand. This move aims to expand its overseas production and meet food packaging demand in Southeast Asia and global markets.
To ensure efficient storage of raw materials and finished products, optimize production logistics, and improve warehouse space utilization after the factory starts operation, it needs to purchase heavy-duty racks.
The company requires a solution that can "make full use of all available space and accommodate as many products as possible".
ORION's baseline plan was as follows:
Load-bearing design: Based on the customer's requirement that the maximum weight per cargo location is 1000kgs, the design is made to support a load of 2000kgs per layer.
Height design: In line with the customer's needs for different sites, three height options are designed: 2.25m, 7.5m, and 8.4m.
Width design: According to the maximum size of the goods, the width of each rack location is set to 2.5m or 1.3m. This ensures that a single location can accommodate 1 to 2 standard pallets or full cases of goods, avoiding space waste.
Aisle design: To create more pallet storage locations, a narrow-aisle design is adopted.
Detail Optimization:
Safety Accessories: Safety pins are installed at both ends of each beam to prevent accidental detachment of the beams; Expansion bolts are added at the bottom of the rack columns to firmly fix them to the ground, enhancing overall stability.
Identification Plates: Identification plates are attached to the side of the rack columns, indicating the rack dimensions and load-bearing capacity to prevent overloading.
