Industrial Shelving System Should Be Reliable

Industrial shelving is the need of the hour for many companies who need to put their goods in place. It leads to following a proper system of storing the industrial goods in an orderly manner so that their retrieval (when needed) can also become easy.

Today there are many types of industrial shelving to choose from. Wire shelving is normally used in the industries today. This type of shelving is modular, durable and flexible. Such a system is strong and study and it can be easily adjusted according to the changing needs. There is lesser dust buildup and the shelving is easy to clean and maintain.

The normal wire shelving system consists of four steel poles that are around 7 to 8 feet apart. The shelves are usually between 18 and 30 inches deep and about 2 to 6 feet wide. There are four holes in the corner of the shelves to insert the poles. The plastic clips are then inserted to keep the poles connected. The shelves are then held with the help of circular grooves that are inserted on the poles. They are kept one inch away from each other so that the individual shelves can be easily moved up or down without taking apart any other unit. There are no special tools required to disassemble or assemble the shelves.


Today the wire shelving method is used in many types of industrial applications. This type of shelving is clean and dust resistant. It does not spoil easily even though the air around is damp. Many home owners have been using such shelving in their home as well. Wire shelving is perfect for environments where there could be a risk of fire. This is because the water of the sprinkler systems can easily pass through the holes instead of solid shelving where the sprinkler systems might not be effective as there is no space for the water to pass.

Industrial shelves come in different weight limits such as 300 to 1,200 pounds. Hence you need to consider the weight of your goods before implanting the shelving. Most of the industrial shelving is rated per shelf capacity of distributed loads. However the definition of the capacity rating might vary form manufacturer to manufacturer. The company should confirm it before the shelving is used.

In today's times, mobile shelving systems are also available. They occupy a bigger space however they allow you to double the facility. The system helps to cut down on the space that is used by traditional shelves and hence time and effort are saved in moving goods from one shelf to another.
