Shelving and Racking Q & A
Q: What's the difference between racking and shelving?
A: Racking systems are built to handle heavier loads, featuring upright frames and horizontal beams. On the other hand, shelving is better suited for lighter items and smaller loads. At Parrs, our selection offers various options for both shelving and racking needs, including budget shelving, industrial shelving & racking, pallet racking, archive shelving, catering shelving, shelving with small parts boxes, cantilever sheet & bar racks, and postal shelving.
Q: What is racking in a warehouse?
A: Warehouse racking systems consist of industrial shelving units made of metal, designed to store boxes or pallets in multiple levels of horizontal rows.
Q: How do you calculate racking?
A: To calculate pallet rack load capacity, estimate the maximum load weight for each beam level and multiply it by the number of levels in the racking section.
Q: Which is the safest level to place heavy items on shelving?
A: Heavy items should be placed at the bottom level of shelving to reduce injuries and ensure workplace safety.
Q: What is rivet shelving?
A: Rivet shelving, also referred to as boltless shelving, is constructed by inserting the riveted ends of the horizontal beams into keyhole-shaped slots on the vertical posts. This creates interlocking units that can be configured in various arrangements without the need for bolts or screws.
Q: Is a Euro pallet the same as a pallet UK?
A: Euro pallets are slightly smaller than standard UK pallets, measuring 1200x800mm instead of the 1200x1000mm dimensions commonly used in the UK. At Parrs, we offer pallet racking designed to accommodate both EURO pallets and UK pallets, providing versatile storage solutions for various needs.
