中型货架通常被称为 长跨度货架, 通常设计用于 人工拣选操作, 负载能力通常高达约 每层 800 公斤.

选择正确的货架系统不仅会影响存储效率，还会影响仓库安全和长期运营成本。以下是这两种常用存储解决方案的简要比较。.

1 Overview of Medium Duty Racking

Medium-duty racking is designed for storing goods of moderate weight while maintaining flexibility and ease of manual access. It is commonly used in applications where pallet handling equipment is not required.

1.1 装载能力

Medium-duty racking typically supports loads ranging from approximately 200 kg to 800 kg per level, depending on the shelf span, beam specification, and material thickness.

这种容量范围使其适用于存放纸箱、小零件、工具和其他手动处理的物品。.

1.2 结构特点

The columns, beams, and support components of medium-duty racking are generally made from medium-gauge steel. The system is designed to balance structural strength with ease of installation.

Most medium-duty racking systems feature a modular design, using boltless or pin-connected components. Shelf levels can be adjusted according to storage requirements, allowing the system to adapt to changing inventory sizes.

1.3 典型应用

中型货架通常用于：

小型仓库和订单分拣区

零售库房和店后存储

轻工业车间和备件仓库

储存相对较轻材料的实验室或设施

1.4 运行和维护

Medium-duty racking systems are usually operated manually without forklifts or lifting equipment. Maintenance mainly involves periodic checks of beam connections, column alignment, and general structural condition.

2 Overview of Heavy Duty Pallet Racking

Heavy-duty pallet racking is designed for storing palletized goods and heavy loads. It is widely used in industrial warehouses and logistics distribution centers where forklifts are used for material handling.

2.1 装载能力

Heavy-duty pallet racking is typically designed for pallet loads ranging from around 1000 kg to several thousand kilograms per level, depending on the rack configuration and engineering design.

因此，它适用于存储散装货物、工业部件和大量托盘产品。.

2.2 结构特点

Heavy-duty pallet racking systems are manufactured from high-strength structural steel. Upright frames and beams are designed with larger cross-sections to support higher loads.

Additional structural elements such as diagonal bracing and beam connectors ensure overall system stability. In most installations, upright frames are also anchored to the warehouse floor to improve safety.

2.3 典型应用

Heavy-duty pallet racking is widely used in:

生产设施

大型配送中心

物流仓库

处理托盘货物的工业存储环境

2.4 运行和维护

Loading and unloading operations typically require forklifts or other material handling equipment. Regular inspections are recommended to check beam connections, upright conditions, anchors, and potential damage caused by equipment impacts.
