Choosing The Right Shelving For You

Choosing the ‘right’ shelving for your home or office can be a daunting task. There are lots of factors to consider before making a decision. We understand the problems that are faced by our customers and so we have compiled a list of factors that one should consider before making a purchase.

1. Measure Exactly How Much Space You Have:

Planning for the necessary storage space is critical. Floor space is at a premium in warehouses, and space optimization is the primary reason for purchasing shelving systems. When planning to install shelving systems, it’s critical that you plan the quantity, dimensions, and weight of the inventory that these shelving units will have to support. This allows you to determine how many shelving units you will need, how many units your warehouse floor space can permit, and the type.

1. Select the Right Material:

Whatever Shelving system you choose, the material you select should be appropriate to the environment. If your shelving units will be supporting heavy machine parts, castings, and dies, you need to be aware of weight limits.

If your shelving will be housed in high-humidity or cold environments, it’s worth seeking a proper level of corrosion resistance.

1. What Is The Weight Of The Items Being Stored?

It’s not good enough to be aware of the weight limits you’ll need when ordering shelving. You should also ensure that your staff is adequately trained and understand proper loading procedures.

Overloading a shelving system, either regarding weight or volume, can cause damage to the system and, potentially, collapse.

1. Choose The Right Accessories:

Don’t pass on our Storeway accessories. While Storeway Racking and Shelvings ensure you’re using your space efficiently, it’s the accessories that promote efficiency within your operation. Here are a few of our most popular accessories:

• Shelf Rails: Keep your friends close and your storage items closer. Our Shelf Rails decrease the chances of spills, breakage and items falling off the sides or back or your shelving. This accessory is especially encouraged on any mobile or High Density Storage System.
• Shelf Dividers: Keep small items like condiments from wobbling or falling over by adding our Shelf Dividers. This accessory is also a great solution for maintaining a hygienic environment and preventing cross-contamination.
• Divider Bars: Your Shelving can be anything you want it to be. Divider Bars allow you to create a custom storage unit with storage boxes, food pans on either stationary or mobile shelving. The resulting custom unit can be used as a station for to-go, drying, storage and more. This accessory is also ideal for removing produce from the corrugated packaging into proper storage boxes and transporting from the receiving area to the walk-in.
• ID Tags: Make it easy for employees to know where items are stored—and keep it that way— with our ID Tags. Available in 3” (7.6 cm) and 6” (15.2 cm), ID Tags clip onto traverses without taking up any extra space.
