High-Density Drive In Pallet Racking with Guide Rails for Forklift Safe Operation in Logistics Centers

- Material: High-strength Q235/Q345 steel (columns: 80×60×2.5mm rectangular tube; beams: 100×50×2.0mm channel steel; guide rails: 50×30×2.0mm steel bar)

- Load-Bearing Capacity: 1200-2500kg per level (evenly distributed load); maximum total load per rack row: 15000-30000kg

- Storage Density: 6-12 pallet positions per row (customizable); aisle width: 2.8-3.2m (fits 2.5-5 ton standard forklifts)

- Guide Rail Specifications: Length equal to rack row length; height: 100mm (above beam surface); spacing from rack columns: 50mm (ensures forklift fork alignment)

- Surface Treatment: Electrostatic powder coating (epoxy resin, thickness ≥ 70μm) or hot-dip galvanizing (zinc layer ≥ 80μm); salt spray test resistance: ≥ 300 hours (powder coating) / ≥ 500 hours (galvanizing)

- Standard Height: 4-8m (2-5 levels); customizable up to 12m for high-ceiling logistics centers

1. Maximized Storage Density: Eliminates 50-70% of traditional aisles—1000㎡ logistics space can store 200+ pallets (vs. 120+ for selective racking), directly reducing warehouse rental costs by 30-40%.

2. Forklift Safety Guarantee: High-precision guide rails (installation error ≤ 2mm) guide forklift movement, preventing fork collision with rack columns; guide rail surface is polished and oiled, reducing friction between fork and rail (extending forklift service life by 15%).

3. Dual Inventory Modes: Supports both FIFO (First-In-First-Out) and FILO (First-In-Last-Out) management—suitable for fast-turnover goods (FIFO, e.g., food, daily necessities) and seasonal stock (FILO, e.g., holiday gifts).

4. Sturdy & Durable Structure: Q345 steel columns with reinforced base plates (thickness: 10mm) enhance stability; beam-column connections use high-strength locking pins (shear strength ≥ 500MPa) to avoid disengagement under heavy load; withstands 1000+ daily forklift access cycles.

5. Easy Operation & Maintenance: Guide rails have built-in position markers (every 1.2m) to help forklift operators align pallets quickly; detachable components (beams, guide rails) allow easy replacement if damaged; powder-coated surface is oil-resistant and easy to clean (wiped with a damp cloth).

1. Steel Cutting & Forming: CNC flame cutting machine (accuracy ≤ 1mm) cuts Q235/Q345 steel into columns, beams, and guide rails; hydraulic bending machine shapes columns into rectangular tubes and beams into channel steel (angle error ≤ 0.5°).

2. Precision Drilling: CNC drilling machine processes holes on columns (for beam installation) and guide rails (for fixing) with positioning error ≤ 0.3mm, ensuring assembly accuracy.

3. Surface Treatment: - Powder Coating: 4-stage pretreatment (degreasing → pickling → phosphating → passivation) removes impurities; electrostatic spraying of epoxy resin powder, followed by 180-200℃ baking for 25 minutes (forming a smooth, scratch-resistant coating). - Hot-Dip Galvanizing: Entire components immersed in 450℃ molten zinc for 5-8 minutes, forming a uniform anti-corrosion layer; post-treatment removes excess zinc (ensuring no zinc nodules).

4. Assembly & Calibration: Assemble columns, beams, and guide rails on-site; use laser levelers to calibrate guide rail straightness (error ≤ 2mm/10m); test forklift access (100 times) to verify guide rail smoothness.

5. Quality Testing: - Load Test: 1.2× rated load applied to each level for 48 hours (no permanent deformation). - Impact Test: Simulate forklift accidental impact (500kg force) on guide rails (no rail bending or column damage). - Corrosion Test: Sampling for salt spray test (meets ≥ 300/500 hours resistance standard).

1. E-Commerce Fulfillment Centers: Storage of bulk fast-moving consumer goods (e.g., toiletries, clothing); high density meets peak season (Double 11, Black Friday) storage needs; FIFO mode ensures timely order fulfillment.

2. Food & Beverage Distribution Centers: Storage of palleted food (e.g., canned goods, bottled drinks); powder-coated surface complies with food safety standards (FDA certified); FIFO prevents expiration.

3. Industrial Parts Logistics Hubs: Storage of medium-heavy industrial parts (e.g., auto components, electrical appliances); FILO mode suits slow-turnover stock; guide rails reduce collision risks for high-value parts.

4. Third-Party Logistics (3PL) Centers: Multi-client cargo storage (e.g., retail goods, industrial raw materials); customizable row length (6-12 pallet positions) adapts to different client needs; high density optimizes space for multi-tenant use.

5. Cold Chain Logistics Centers: Hot-dip galvanized version (anti-corrosion) for refrigerated/frozen goods (e.g., frozen meat, dairy); guide rails work normally at -30℃ (no brittleness); high density reduces cold storage energy consumption.

1. Size & Load Customization:

- Row Length: Adjust number of pallet positions per row (4-15 positions) based on logistics center space—e.g., 4 positions for narrow areas, 15 positions for open warehouses.

- Load Upgrade: Reinforce beams (use Q460 steel) and columns (thicken to 3.0mm) to increase per-level load to 3000-4000kg for heavy cargo (e.g., mechanical parts, metal ingots).

- Height Adjustment: Custom rack height (3-12m) to match warehouse ceiling height—e.g., 3m for low-ceiling workshops, 12m for high-bay logistics centers (with forklift height adaptation).

2. Function Customization:

- Anti-Collision Upgrade: Add rubber anti-collision pads (thickness: 50mm) at guide rail entrances/ends to absorb impact from forklift entry/exit.

- Inventory Monitoring: Install RFID tags or barcode scanners on guide rail position markers for real-time pallet inventory tracking (compatible with WMS systems).

- Cold-Resistant Design: Use cold-resistant powder coating (works at -40℃) and anti-freeze guide rail oil for ultra-low temperature cold chain centers.

3. Appearance & Identification Customization:

- Color Matching: Custom powder coating colors (e.g., logistics center brand color, safety colors like yellow/red) to fit visual management standards.

- Labeling: Print row/level numbers on columns and guide rails (laser engraving, wear-resistant) for easy cargo positioning.

4. MOQ & Lead Time: Minimum order quantity for customization: 2 rows (≈12-24 pallet positions); design plan confirmation: 2-3 working days; production + on-site installation lead time: 10-15 working days (for standard height 4-8m).

1. Logistics-Specific R&D Expertise: We have 15+ years of experience in drive-in racking design, with a R&D team of 12 engineers specializing in logistics storage optimization. Our guide rails use a "arc transition" design (vs. sharp edges of competitors) to reduce fork wear by 20% and avoid cargo scraping.

2. Strict Quality & Safety Standards: All products comply with ISO 9001, EN 15512 (European racking standard), and GB/T 27924-2011 (Chinese heavy-duty rack standard); each rack undergoes 100% load and impact testing before delivery. We are certified by SGS for forklift safety compatibility (meets CE/UL standards for global logistics centers).

3. One-Stop Logistics Solution: Beyond rack customization, we provide free on-site measurement (covering 350+ cities worldwide), 3D warehouse layout simulation (using professional software like AutoCAD), and forklift operator training (on guide rail operation) to ensure smooth post-installation use.

4. Reliable After-Sales Support:
