Choose high-quality shelf materials: the shelf materials should be durable and have sufficient bearing capacity. The common shelf materials include metal, wood and plastic, and suitable shelf materials can be selected according to needs. At the same time, the materials of the shelves should also be waterproof, moisture-proof, fireproof and other characteristics to prevent damage caused by accidental disasters.
Reasonably design the rack structure: the rack structure design should be reasonable and stable under different weights and sizes. The height, number of layers and spacing of shelves shall be calculated and tested to ensure that they can bear the load and maintain balance. The connection mode between the shelf and the wall and the ground should also be considered in the design, and appropriate fixing bolts and safety screws should be selected to increase the stability of the shelf.
Regular inspection and maintenance: The shelves will be worn and loose during use, so they need regular inspection and maintenance. It is recommended to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the shelves every quarter or half a year, including the inspection of structures and connectors, to ensure the stability and safety of the shelves. Timely repair or replace any problems found.
Reasonably plan the shelf layout: the shelf layout should be reasonably planned according to different types of goods to ensure the load balance of the shelves. Heavier goods should be placed at the bottom, while lighter goods can be placed at the top. The spacing between shelves should also leave enough space for customers and employees to safely access the shelf area.
Pay attention to the use limit of the shelf: the shelf shall be used according to the designed load bearing limit and shall not exceed its load capacity. In addition, load limits and precautions for use shall be marked on the shelves to remind employees and customers to pay attention to safety.
Training staff: in order to ensure the safe use of shelves, the store should provide relevant training to staff, including the installation, maintenance and use of shelves. Employees should be taught how to place goods correctly, how to use guardrails and fixtures, and how to identify shelf problems and report them in a timely manner.
Installation protection measures: In order to increase the safety of the shelf, some protection measures can be installed, such as guardrails, fixtures, and earthquake proof supports. These measures can be added around or at the bottom of the shelf to provide additional support and stability and reduce the risk of shelf collapse.
Rational use of shelf space: the efficiency of shelf use is also related to safety. Reasonable use of shelf space can reduce clutter and instability. Transparent storage boxes, partition boards, etc. can be used to sort, classify and fix goods to ensure that the shelves are clean, stable and safe.
