Self Support Racking

Self Support Racking means racking system which combine the warehouse. It’s also called integrated warehouse. In this case, the warehouse don’t need to build pillar to support it. The racking post will be the pillar to support warehouse.

Self support racking warehouse systems usually includes high level racking system, material handling equipment, control and management system and warehouse structure. The structure don’t only support the pallet with cargo, but also support the warehouse building.

When we design the self support racking system, we should not only consider the racking specification and calculation. There are more factors need to be considered like lighting, electricity,  fire fighting…etc. We should not only consider the loading function but also consider wind load, snow/rain load and earthquake load…etc.

Advantage of self support racking:

1. The space use rate is very high, steel structure is integrated with racking system.

2. Save power: it can save power by 80% compare with normal warehouse racking. The temperature is even and stable.

3. The life use time is longer

4. It can be automatically operated and save investment cost.
