Reasonable warehouse rack layout is one of the core factors affecting the overall operation efficiency of storage links. Many warehouse operators tend to focus on the number of storage positions in the initial planning stage, while ignoring the matching relationship between layout parameters and the dimensions of the commonly used electric forklifts, which will lead to problems such as narrow passages that cannot support normal turning of forklifts, and unreasonable reserved heights of shelves that affect normal loading and unloading operations.
When carrying out rack layout planning, the first step is to clarify the standard dimension parameters of the selected electric forklift, including the overall width of the vehicle, the minimum right-angle turning radius, the reserved safety distance required for the vehicle to carry the goods through the passage, and the maximum lifting height of the gantry. The width of the main operation passage for stacking shall be set according to the actual operation habit of the operator, and sufficient safety margin shall be reserved on the basis of meeting the free passing of the forklift, so as to avoid potential safety hazards such as scratching the shelf frame and colliding with goods during long-term high-frequency operation.
For the shelf area close to the wall, the reserved distance between the bottom of the shelf and the metope should also match the forward extension distance of the forklift fork when taking and placing goods, so as to avoid the dead corner of access that cannot be operated. After the layout is completed, simulated operation test can be carried out according to the standard parameters of the electric forklift, to adjust the unreasonable part of the plan in time, which can effectively improve the utilization rate of warehouse space, reduce the workload of operators, and create more practical value for the daily storage operation.
