Rack Shelf FAQs
What is the difference between a rack and a shelf?
Racking systems generally offer higher load capacities compared to shelving. Racks are designed to store heavy items, using upright frames and horizontal beams to support increased weight. Shelving is more suitable for lighter loads and smaller items.
What are the three types of racks?
Some of the most common types of racks are:
- Selective Racking: Permits only one-unit-deep pallet loads to be stored side-by-side.
- Drive-in Rack: Allows pallets to be stored one behind the other, maximizing storage density.
- Carton Flow Rack: Designed for efficient handling of small, loose items.
- Mobile Rack: Features movable racks on rails, allowing for increased storage capacity in a compact footprint.
Is it cheaper to build or buy storage shelves?
Buying pre-made shelves is generally more expensive than building them yourself, but it offers increased durability and strength, especially for long-term use or heavy loads. DIY shelves can be a cost-effective option for lighter-duty applications.
What can I use instead of shelves?
Bookcases can be a versatile alternative for shelving. They often feature shelves but also offer additional storage options like cubbies, doors, and drawers.
Where do you store heavy items on a rack of shelves?
For safety and stability, always place heavier loads on lower or middle levels of heavy-duty storage shelves. Store long and heavy items on their side to prevent tipping. Label heavy items for easy identification and proper handling during retrieval and transportation.
What is the most common rack size?
The most common server rack size is 42U height and 19-inch width. These standard rack dimensions are cost-effective due to mass production for data center use.
How do I choose a rack?
When choosing a rack, start by considering what equipment you need to store. This will help determine if you need a wallmount or floor-mount model, and whether a 2-post or larger 4-post rack is required. Consider the size, weight, and airflow needs of your devices to select the appropriate rack.
