Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the primary application of Long Span Shelving?
Long span shelving (also known as medium-duty racking) is engineered specifically for manual loading and order-picking storage systems. It is ideal for storing small boxes, cartons, plastic bins, and loose inventory without requiring expensive auxiliary handling equipment like forklifts.
2. Do long span shelves require forklifts for daily operation?
No. The system is designed entirely for the “man-to-product” manual picking principle. Items are deposited and removed by hand, which significantly reduces overall equipment acquisition costs and speeds up small-SKU order retrieval.
3. Can the shelf levels and configurations be adjusted easily?
Evet, absolutely. Featuring tool-free snap-connections between beams and uprights alongside standardized modular panels, users can effortlessly adjust storage heights and reconfigure shelf configurations as inventory requirements change over time.
4. Where can Long Span Shelving systems be installed?
These versatile systems are equally suited for warehouses, distribution centers, and office environments. They can be configured for a wide variety of applications ranging from low-level hand-loaded shelving up to high-rise multi-tier gangway systems.
