Under what circumstances do longspan shelving in warehouse shelves need three columns

Longspan shelving is a kind of shelf widely used in the warehouse, which can be seen almost everywhere. Common longspan shelves are composed of a two-column frame and cross beam laminate. It seems that such a simple and convenient shelf actually has something that we don’t know much about. For example, there are longspan shelves with three columns. In which cases do longspan shelving need three columns?

First of all, it depends on the depth of the shelf. The common shelf depth is about 0.6m. Generally, if it is less than 0.6, there is no need to use three columns. The common two-column frame is OK. If the bearing capacity is large, three columns can be considered depending on the situation.

If the depth of the storage shelf is about 0.8m or larger and the load is larger (such as 500kg), three columns are needed for support. The deeper the depth is, the harder the load is to be uniform. The middle part may be bent down. Adding a column can make the whole warehouse shelf bear more uniform force and bear more load, and the storage shelf structure will be more stable.

In addition to the storage shelf depth and load-bearing, we also need to pay attention to the height of the shelf. Longspan shelving is mainly used for manual storage and storage of goods. If the height is too high, it needs to use a climbing ladder and other supporting equipment to assist in the storage and storage of goods. There is other equipment in the warehouse that may hit the shelves, so the stability of the shelves is particularly important. Three columns can solve this problem perfectly.

All in all, in the case of large depth and load-bearing, the use of three columns will make the shelf structure more stable.
