Any enterprise has a warehouse - a technically complex structure, the purpose of which is to receive, place and store all kinds of goods. The warehouse is a key part of the enterprise. The competent organization of warehouse work is the reliability of the entire organization. The utilization factor of industrial warehouse equipment, for example, special equipment and information systems for automating work and accounting in the warehouse, can help.
Starting from the design stage, it is worth considering the choice of storage equipment, so that the utilization rate is much higher. First of all, it is worth taking care of the wise use of the warehouse space, as a result - the movement of goods should be carried out without problems, be fast, reliable and safe, require a minimum of physical strength. The maximum utilization factor can be obtained by using the correct placement of equipment (cabinets, racks, etc.).
Shelving equipment is a multilevel device designed to store all kinds of goods. The types of similar industrial equipment may vary. The following varieties can be distinguished:
- Deep and shelving.
- Frontal (pallet).
- Mobile and console.
However, it should be noted that for the efficient operation of the warehouse, racking equipment alone, even the highest quality, is not enough. In any case, you will need special equipment that can ensure high efficiency of loading and unloading. Basically, all kinds of stackers, forklifts, and carts are used at warehouse terminals.
Stackers are wheel loaders equipped with forks and a lifting mechanism. In warehouses of a small area they are used to work with
pallets. Such equipment is convenient and does not require special training. But physical force will have to be applied. In this regard, it is much more rational to use electric self-propelled stackers.
For raising and lowering, special platforms are used. The leader of such equipment is not without exaggeration. For bulk cargo, frontal loaders that have a bucket are best suited. For work in the premises, electric loaders are mainly chosen. In this case, the maximum utilization rate will be achieved.
When choosing warehouse equipment, it is worth taking into account all the technical characteristics in order to keep under control any situation that may arise during the operation of the warehouse. If the warehouse meets all modern requirements, the utilization rate of the equipment is normal, and when working, a minimum of physical labor will be required.
The right approach to the selection of equipment is the key to the effective operation of the enterprise as a whole. In any case, the utilization of production capacity is important .
