Warehouse shelving is essential equipment for storing goods, designed to enhance storage capacity and optimize warehouse utilization. Various types of shelving systems offer different storage efficiencies, with most businesses prioritizing maximum storage capacity and space utilization.
Drive-in racking systems can achieve space utilization rates exceeding 90% within storage slots. However, since forklifts need to enter the interior of storage lanes to access goods, not all slots can be occupied simultaneously. The overall warehouse space utilization typically reaches over 70% due to necessary forklift aisles and space reserved for structural elements and safety equipment.
Dense storage systems represent the pinnacle of warehouse shelving capacity, achieving utilization rates of approximately 70% or higher. These systems employ compact storage methodologies with closely spaced storage locations.
These high-density shelving configurations feature exceptional storage density and are widely implemented in both ambient temperature warehouses and cold storage facilities, providing maximum storage efficiency for diverse industrial applications.
