6. Adding facilities

For the convenience and flexibility of goods storage, like some bulk and not only bulky goods, you can add steel plates or wooden boards or mesh on the cantilever arm, so that the cantilever racks with increased facilities are also more suitable for warehouses with low floors and small spaces.

7. Racking unit

Cantilever racking is a row of racks formed by connecting multiple columns, not individual racks, and each of its racking units can sort and store different types of goods, and can effectively store pipes, wood, strips and other similar goods.

8. Cantilever length

The length of cantilever racks can be freely combined and adjusted according to the actual site conditions.

9. Labor saving

Cantilever racking can reduce labor intensity and improve labor conditions, and can also improve the mechanization of material circulation.

10. Anti-corrosion racks

Anmei cantilever racks belong to anti-corrosion racks, with high corrosion resistance racks, it adds Al, Mg, Ni, Cr and other alloys of special steel, and a certain range of Al, Mg, Ni, Cr content increases so that the steel plate than the general plate corrosion resistance increased by several times to more than ten times. Furthermore, the surface treatment of anti-corrosion racks plays a pivotal role in the whole production process, Anmei anti-corrosion racks in the pre-processing treatment, processing equipment debugging, post-processing treatment, surface passivation treatment, coating methods are through layers of strict control to ensure the anti-corrosion performance of the racks, and for the problem of sealing the coating, but also the use of high corrosion-resistant coating secondary coating process, which greatly improves The sealing of the coating.

Cantilever racking disadvantages:

1. only able to store long materials.

2. Relatively high input cost.

3. High requirements for construction site ground.

4. High requirements for workers’ safety operation.

Cantilever racking production materials:

Cantilever racks are generally made of two materials, namely:

1. C-steel production: cantilever racks according to the corresponding cantilever layer load requirements, first selected c-steel specifications, selected after the two pieces of c-steel butt welding, welding in one end after welding anti-slip shield, the other end welding connection u-column connectors.

2. Square tube production: according to the corresponding cantilever layer load requirements, cantilever racks first select the square tube that meets the layer load requirements, cut it into the required size, weld the anti-slip guard at one end, and weld the u-shaped column connection at the other end.

Anmei light cantilever racking production process.

One. PLC control

The cutting error of Anmei’s production material is generally within 0.2mm, which is much smaller than the national standard of 1mm.

Second, cold-forming machine

The structure of the laminate is one piece of eight bends, and the back plate is one piece of four bends and once formed, while the bending part does not need welding at all.

Three, stamping equipment

Stamping equipment, it includes bracket arm, R angle, column punching, etc., are independent punching machine to complete, and no need to change the mold, so it is a good guarantee of the rack and its equipment accuracy and production efficiency.

Four, double seam automatic welding

Anmei adopts multi-directional fixed and automatic welding, so that the welding efficiency is more efficient and the welding seam is flat and even.

Five. Primary processing process

Anmei’s primary processing process generally adopts high-quality steel forming and processing equipment, which is customized from the leading domestic mold manufacturer according to the customer’s requirements. The production process includes primary processing, precision rolling, automatic welding and forming, removal of appearance defects, inspection, etc.

Sixth, raw materials

The raw materials used in Anmei racks and equipment are all cold-rolled steel coils from large domestic steel enterprises, and each batch of steel has a strict test certificate, which guarantees the high quality of racks and equipment from the source.

Seven, rust removal process: water washing to remove surface dust – neutral de-oiling – vitrified – passivation

Anmei adopts the more energy-saving and environmentally friendly vitrified process instead of the traditional phosphate surface treatment process, and has invested a lot of money to build its own sewage harmless treatment facilities (water washing to remove surface dust), thus ensuring that the whole rust removal process is more environmentally friendly (neutral degreasing, vitrified, passivation), and at the same time guaranteeing the higher functional characteristics of the racks and equipment.

Eight, spraying equipment

Anmei adopts automatic spraying equipment, electrostatic spraying, so as to ensure the quality of the surface paint film, as well as to ensure that the surface paint film brightness and thickness of the racks and equipment can reach uniformity.
