中型貨架，通常稱為 長尺寸貨架, 通常設計用於 人工分揀作業, ，負載能力通常可達約 每層 800 公斤.

選擇正確的貨架系統不僅會影響儲存效率，還會影響倉儲安全和長期營運成本。以下是這兩種常用倉儲解決方案的簡要比較。.

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 負載能力

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.

此容量範圍使其適合儲存紙箱、小型零件、工具和其他手動處理的物品。.

1.2 結構特性

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 典型應用

中型貨架通常用於：

小型倉庫和訂單揀選區

零售庫房和店後儲存

輕工業車間和備件倉庫

儲存較輕材料的實驗室或設施

1.4 運作與維護

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 負載能力

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.

這使得它適合儲存散裝貨物、工業元件和大量棧板產品。.

2.2 結構特性

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 典型應用

Heavy-duty pallet racking is widely used in:

製造設施

大型配送中心

物流倉庫

處理托盤式貨物的工業儲存環境

2.4 運作與維護

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.
