Choosing a Warehouse Racking System Jun 22, 2018 Pallet Racking is an essential part of any storage facility including warehouses, distribution centres and manufacturing facilities. A pallet racking system will maximise storage space by making the most of the space by allowing the pallets to be stored horizontally and on multiple levels effectively and safely. For every successful warehouse which operates effectively lies a well thought-out racking system with good initial planning of storage and logistics. If you are thinking about implementing a racking system there are a few things you should first take into consideration: 托盘货架是任何仓储设施的重要组成部分，包括仓库，配送中心和制造设施。托盘货架系统通过允许托盘水平且有效且安全地存储在多个层面上来充分利用空间，从而最大化利用存储空间。对于每个成功运营的仓库而言，都有一个经过深思熟虑的货架系统，具有良好的存储和物流初始规划。如果您正在考虑实施货架系统，您应该首先考虑以下几点：   • Budget – Finding the right solution for your business whilst keeping your budget. 预算 - 在保持预算的同时为您的企业寻找合适的解决方案。 • Space – Utilizing both floor space and vertical space is essential and will prevent restricted conditions, and allow stock to be visible and easy to identify. 空间 - 利用地面空间和垂直空间是必不可少的，可以防止受限条件，并使库存可见且易于识别。 • Weight and Size of Goods – Having the correct load bearing on your racking is crucial for safety. It is also a legal requirement to have load notices on your racking. 货物的重量和尺寸 - 在货架上承受正确的承重对安全至关重要。在货架上标注承载极限标识也是法律要求。 • Automation –An automated system is fast, reliable and accurate and reduces human intervention 自动化 - 自动化系统快速，可靠，准确，减少人为干预 • Fork Lift Truck – Depending on the racking system, there are a wide variety of fork lift trucks available; for example high bay reach trucks, articulated trucks and double deep trucks…… 叉车 - 根据货架系统，有各种各样的叉车可供选择; 例如前移式叉车，铰接式卡车和双深位叉车、窄巷道叉车 Types of Racking Systems货架系统的类型 There are many types of racking systems and it’s important to understand the features and benefits of the systems available as each warehouse has its own unique operational requirements. A system that doesn’t fulfil the entire process of your operations can hinder the overall efficiency of your business. In brief is a list bellow of different racking systems: 有许多类型的货架系统，了解货架系统的功能和优点非常重要，因为每个仓库都有自己独特的操作要求。不能完成整个运营流程的系统可能会影响业务的整体效率。简而言之，下述是不同货架系统的列表： • Standard Pallet Racking – Provides easy access and to stored items and uses wide aisles 标准托盘货架 - 提供方便的存取和存储物品，并使用宽（3.2-3.5米）通道 • Narrow Aisle Racking – Minimises aisle size whilst allowing high density storage, making the most of roof height窄通道货架 - 最小化通道尺寸，同时允许高密度存储，充分利用车顶高度 • Drive-in-Racking – Requires access from only one aisle, operating on a first in, last out (FILO) basis. 驶入式货架 - 仅需要从一个通道进行访问，以先进后出（FILO）为基础进行操作。 • Drive Through Racking – Provides access on either side of the bay, so you can use a first in, first out (FIFO) stock rotation system for limited shelf life items. 通过式货架 - 提供货架两侧的访问，因此您可以使用先进先出（FIFO）库存循环系统，以获得有效的保质期管理。 • Pallet Live Racking – load stock in one aisle and remove it from the next. A first in, first out system (FIFO)托盘实时货架 - 在一个过道中装载库存并从下一个过道中取出。先进先出系统（FIFO） • Powered Mobile Racking – Racking can be moved in sections for easy access. High Density storage, with access to any pallet, but slower than conventional pallet racking动力移动式货架 - 货架可以分段移动，方便使用。高密度存储，可以访问任何托盘，但比传统的托盘货架慢 • Cantilever Racking – For heavy, long or irregular sizes goods eg timber, steel chipboard悬臂式货架 - 适用于重型，长型或不规则尺寸的货物，例如木材，钢刨花板 • Double Deep Racking – Pallets can be stored two deep, halving the number of aisles required双深架 - 托盘可以存放两个深度，将所需通道数量减半 • Shuttle Racking – Carry goods on remote controlled shuttles穿梭货架 - 在遥控穿梭车上运输货物
