What are the advantages and disadvantages of gravity shelves? What kind of product is suitable?
The main feature of gravity shelves is the storage capacity of the unit warehouse area. Gravity rack is a kind of intensive shelves, which can store goods on a large scale, thereby reducing the number of channels, and effectively saving the storage area. From ordinary shelves to gravity shelves, the storage area can be saved by 50%.
Shelf customized gravity rack is a storage system that uses goods' own gravity to store goods in the depth of storage. More widely used in picking system, it is a widely used equipment in modern logistics system. The gravity shelf is similar to the general shelf from the front view, but its depth is much deeper than that of the general shelf, which is similar to many shelves. Often with the flow device and roller table used in conjunction, each layer of the front end of the partition (shipped end) low, back (purchase side) high slope. So that the goods in a certain height of the poor channel, can use the weight, from height to low movement, so as to complete the purchase, storage, delivery of the operation.
The gravity type shelf is developed from pallet type shelf, and adopts roller track or bottom wheel tray. The rail is inclined, and the pallet is automatically slid from the inlet to the other end by using self weight. Gravity shelves belong to FIFO storage.
There are two major applications of gravity shelves: a large rack storage in large quantities, can be a large number of storage, is mainly to store shelves; another important application, namely light small gravity shelves is chosen as shelves generally applied to the distribution center, transport center, warehouse and store selection distribution operation. Can also be used in the production line parts supply line.
