Diamond Hole Uprights Longspan Shelving
Diamond Hole Uprights Longspan Shelving
Diamond Hole Uprights Longspan Shelving is a steel storage system for warehouses, workshops, manufacturing facilities and stockrooms where goods are manually stored and picked. Its long-span shelving layout provides open storage space for cartons, boxes, spare parts, tools, components and other industrial items.
The system combines diamond-hole upright frames with longspan beams and multi-level shelves, providing a practical solution for organized storage and manual picking.
Diamond Hole Upright Longspan Shelving Features
Diamond Hole Upright Design
The upright profiles use a diamond-shaped hole pattern for connecting the shelving beams. The connection positions allow the vertical arrangement of the storage levels to be adjusted according to the application.
Longspan Storage Structure
The longspan design provides a wider shelf span for larger cartons, boxes and components than conventional small-bay shelving. It is particularly useful where goods need to be stored and retrieved directly by warehouse personnel.
Adjustable Shelf Levels
Beam positions can be changed to accommodate products with different heights. This helps reduce unused vertical space and organize inventory according to SKU dimensions.
500 kg per Level
The standard system is designed for a working load of 500 kg per level, providing capacity for medium-duty warehouse and industrial storage applications.
Modular Construction
Individual shelving bays can be combined into longer storage runs, making it easier to organize inventory into different product groups, picking areas or warehouse zones.
Technical Specifications
| Standard Configuration | Dimensions (L × D × H) | Beam Levels | Load Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4-Level | 2000 × 600 × 2000 mm | 4 | 500 kg/level |
| 5-Level | 2000 × 600 × 3000 mm | 5 | 500 kg/level |
Both standard configurations share the same 2000 mm length, 600 mm depth and 500 kg per-level load capacity. They differ in overall height and number of beam levels to suit different storage layouts.
The stated 500 kg/level capacity applies to the specified standard configuration. Actual loading should remain within the rated working capacity of the complete shelving system, and loads should be distributed appropriately across each shelf level.
Applications
Diamond Hole Uprights Longspan Shelving is suitable for goods that require direct access without forklift handling at each storage level.
Warehouse Storage — Suitable for cartons, packaged goods, components and general inventory that needs to be organized by SKU or product category.
Manufacturing and Production Areas — Can be used for production components, work-in-process materials, tools and maintenance supplies.
Workshops — Provide organized storage for tools, spare parts, equipment accessories and frequently used materials.
Spare Parts Storage — Multiple shelf levels make it practical to separate different components and product sizes while keeping items accessible for picking.
Stockrooms and Distribution Areas — Suitable for boxed or packaged inventory that is handled manually during receiving, storage and order preparation.
How to Configure Longspan Shelving
The correct shelving configuration should be selected according to the stored goods, available warehouse space and handling method.
Start by determining the weight and dimensions of the items to be stored. The shelf depth should provide sufficient support without creating excessive unused space, while the overall shelving height should be compatible with the building’s clear height and operating conditions.
The number and position of storage levels should then be considered based on product height and SKU requirements. Frequently picked products can be positioned at convenient working heights, while less frequently accessed inventory can be stored at higher levels.
For larger storage projects, the shelving layout should also consider aisle width, access routes, fire-safety requirements and the relationship between storage areas and picking or production zones.
Diamond Hole vs. Butterfly Hole Shelving
Diamond-hole and butterfly-hole systems use different perforation patterns on their upright profiles. Both can be used to create adjustable shelving configurations, but the actual connection design depends on the specific system.
| Feature | Diamond Hole | Butterfly Hole |
|---|---|---|
| Hole Pattern | Diamond-shaped | Butterfly-shaped |
| Beam Positioning | Adjustable | Adjustable |
| System Configuration | Multi-level shelving | Multi-level shelving |
| Typical Application | Warehouse and industrial storage | Warehouse and general storage |
When replacing or combining components, the upright profile, beam connection and system dimensions should be checked for compatibility rather than selecting components based only on the hole pattern.
