The difference between lightweight shelves and medium-sized shelves

　　As we all know, storage shelves are composed of main components such as columns, beams, cross beams, cross braces, slant support, and accessories such as crash barriers. There are many types of storage shelves, which can be divided into heavy-duty shelves, medium-sized shelves, and light-duty shelves according to their load-bearing capacity. Below, the editor will explain the difference between lightweight shelves and medium-sized shelves.

　　1、 Introduction to Lightweight Shelves

　　1. Lightweight shelves belong to shelf type shelves, which can be freely combined and adjusted up and down on each layer. The load-bearing capacity ranges from 100kg to 300kg per layer. It can be paired with parts boxes or cardboard boxes to store a variety of small items, widely used in the electronics industry and small parts warehouses.

　　2. Lightweight shelves have a relatively small load capacity, but they are easy to use, have a low price, and are safe and stable. Lightweight shelves use a plug-in combination structure, with standard plug-in components that do not require a single connecting bolt, making disassembly and assembly efficient and fast. The super strong closed steel layer structure allows for adjustable floor heights of every 50mm, with a maximum load capacity of 150-250kg per layer.

　　2、 Introduction to Medium sized Shelves

　　1. Medium sized shelves also belong to shelf type shelves, and the difference from lightweight shelves is that they have stronger load-bearing capacity, with load-bearing capacities ranging from 300kg to 500kg on each level. Medium sized shelves can be arranged in combination, and a row of shelves is generally composed of a main shelf and a secondary shelf. The secondary shelf can be combined in multiple ways to reduce costs and improve load-bearing capacity.

　　2. Medium sized shelves have a simple structure, easy assembly and disassembly, with a floor height of 75mm that can be adjusted freely. They do not require screws for assembly and are sturdy and stable, with a high load-bearing capacity. They are widely used in warehouses across various industries. Medium sized shelves use a combination of crossbeams and shelves, with a load-bearing capacity of 300-500kg. The crossbeams have various specifications of cross-sections, and the structural components can be installed and removed freely. The floor height can be adjusted, with a spacing of 50mm.
