How to Test the Quality of Warehouse Metal Racks
When purchasing goods, a company often looks for multiple suppliers to compare their prices, the quality of goods and the services of suppliers. For most items, we can learn and select suppliers directly or indirectly from the appearance, texture, product description, relevant standards and other ways. Even if the supplier selected at that time is not satisfactory in the process of cooperation, we can re-select the supplier for the next purchase.
This also seems to work for warehouse racks, as the production of metal racking does not seem complicated. But why do so many people still have so many questions about the judgment of their quality?
First of all, the characteristics of the storage racking itself may make the selection process difficult. As most companies do not know much about warehouse metal racking and have little investment in the construction of warehouse racking systems, it is difficult for many companies to accumulate a lot of experience when purchasing storage shelves.
Secondly, the warehouse is an important part of the daily production and operation of an enterprise. Once there are some problems with the storage racking system, it is likely to disrupt the normal production order and cause unnecessary economic losses. Therefore, in order to help companies select metal storage racks with good practical quality, Heda Shelves prepares some suggestions below from three aspects: design, production and installation.
However, for some racking companies without metal racking structure analysis technology, this does not seem to affect their business, because they are willing to believe that clients will not understand the warehouse racks better than them so false and confusing reports can be offered to prove that they are correct. Most purchase staff of enterprises do not know much about the metal racking structure. It is difficult for them to distinguish the report's authenticity and often make wrong judgments when they are not clear. In this regard, the author puts forward the following suggestions to enterprises with shelf purchase plans:
Software is just a tool to facilitate human work, it is still in human control. So as long as people make mistakes, the data output by the software must be wrong. In fact, there is much software that can do racking structure analysis.
In terms of structure, it is suggested that companies turn to some experienced people when purchasing, which will be helpful for the correct selection of warehouse racks.
Therefore, on the contrary, as long as one link is not handled properly, the quality of the racks produced will be greatly affected. If the nonadvanced equipment is an objective problem, then subjectively, the plants reduce the process and shorten the processing time in order to reduce the shelf cost, and the product quality will not be guaranteed.
Taking phosphating as an example, this is to form a layer of phosphating film on the surface of the steel to improve the corrosion resistance of steel, which is equivalent to brushing a layer of antirust primer. By reducing this process, powder spraying can still be completed, and it is difficult to see the problem in the short term. But in the long run, the corrosion resistance of the shelf will be greatly affected, which will obviously affect the service life of the metal racks.
How to avoid the problems above? Heda Shelves suggests below:
Rolled Steel
For the rolled steel, sampling at any time for testing the steel composition and mechanical properties. Generally, the yield strength and tensile strength of materials are good in large steel plants.
At present, the main problems encountered are: the company doesn't know how to judge whether it is good or bad after the racking installation; some problems can only be found after long-term use. Usually, they can not be solved even if the problems are found after long-term use as many construction units are involved. So the following suggestions may be helpful:
1. In the case of multiple units participating in the construction, it is suggested that companies should check metal storage racks before using them. It will facilitate the definition of responsibility once the metal racking is found to have quality problems in the later stage.
2. After the metal racking is installed, it is recommended to inspect in time, carefully check the fastening of racking parts and whether the cross beam is hung normally, and complete the accuracy test of the storage racking that can provide a basis for judging problems in the future. For example, the uneven settlement of the ground will cause a change in the racking accuracy. Once the racking accuracy is abnormal, we can judge whether it is due to the uneven settlement of the ground through the data of the previous test. Therefore, timely testing is a guarantee for the interests of both suppliers and buyers.
Of course, producing high-quality warehouse storage racking is not limited to the above three aspects. The good management and stable team of the enterprise are the necessary conditions for producing excellent products, as, after all, the best equipment is operated by humans, and good products are also inseparable from the advanced concept and management of the enterprise.

Design of Warehouse Storage Racking
The main component of the warehouse racks is steel is the main component of storage racks, which accounts for the majority of the racking cost as a raw material. Therefore, reducing the steel consumption of storage racks is the most direct and effective way to reduce the cost of shelves in a project. However, the reduction of steel consumption may also affect the bearing capacity. How can companies balance the relationship between bearing capacity and reducing steel consumption? It requires detailed structural calculation and analysis of the storage shelves.However, for some racking companies without metal racking structure analysis technology, this does not seem to affect their business, because they are willing to believe that clients will not understand the warehouse racks better than them so false and confusing reports can be offered to prove that they are correct. Most purchase staff of enterprises do not know much about the metal racking structure. It is difficult for them to distinguish the report's authenticity and often make wrong judgments when they are not clear. In this regard, the author puts forward the following suggestions to enterprises with shelf purchase plans:
Don't be superstitious about a certain analysis software
Software is just a tool to facilitate human work, it is still in human control. So as long as people make mistakes, the data output by the software must be wrong. In fact, there is much software that can do racking structure analysis.Using scope of the software
The non-standard characteristics of storage racks are very obvious, and the analysis software is simplified in operation, so its scope of application is often very limited, in which there are many specific contents. This requires companies to ask the supplier for the use scope of the software and check whether the metal racks they need are within the scope because we all know that it is difficult for a fool camera to take photos with good artistic quality. In addition, the analysis software with simple operation integrates the characteristics of many storage racks when designed, and there may be some restrictions in the detail optimization. Therefore, companies need to know whether the model output by the software is consistent with the rack form supplied.
Seek help from professionals
In terms of structure, it is suggested that companies turn to some experienced people when purchasing, which will be helpful for the correct selection of warehouse racks.
Production Of Warehouse Metal Racking
The surface coating of many metal racking begins to peel off and rust in two or three years, which may be caused by a variety of reasons. Click Quality Of Steel For Warehouse Racks to learn more.Powder coating of Warehouse Racks
The warehouse shelf spraying process often needs to go through the following steps: degreasing and derusting, phosphating, water cleaning, drying, electrostatic powder spraying, hot melting, curing, etc. These steps have strict requirements on the treatment time control of each process, the concentration and temperature of phosphating solution and the temperature of the drying room. Therefore, having a set of good spraying equipment will provide great help to the quality of racking production.Therefore, on the contrary, as long as one link is not handled properly, the quality of the racks produced will be greatly affected. If the nonadvanced equipment is an objective problem, then subjectively, the plants reduce the process and shorten the processing time in order to reduce the shelf cost, and the product quality will not be guaranteed.

For the rolled steel, sampling at any time for testing the steel composition and mechanical properties. Generally, the yield strength and tensile strength of materials are good in large steel plants.
Sprayed Surface
There is a simple test using a 2H pencil to scratch on the surface for the sprayed surface. The quality can be proved, if there is no scratch; coins can also be used for the test.Production Equipment
The racking quality counts a lot on the production equipment. Therefore, it is suggested that when selecting a racking supplier, users should pay more attention to the supplier's production site and the main production equipment.Installation of Warehouse Storage Racking
It will bring hidden dangers to normal use in the future if the racking installation is not done well.At present, the main problems encountered are: the company doesn't know how to judge whether it is good or bad after the racking installation; some problems can only be found after long-term use.
