Gratings and perforated metal planks are ideal for use as shelves in all types of racking systems. There are numerous individual options in terms of grating design and different surface textures in the perforated metal planks area.
Optimum height utilization in pallet racks thanks to inlaid gratings, bridging of large spans in cantilever rackings, sprinkler suitability and increased fire protection are just some of the advantages of our shelf gratings.
Gratings are not only used in the construction of buildings. They are also extremely practical to use as shelving in various logistics systems. They offer significant advantages over other types of shelving and can be used for a wide variety of purposes thanks to their different designs.
Gratings are mainly used in industrial and commercial racking systems. They offer decisive advantages over other types of shelving such as wooden or solid metal shelves. One of the biggest is that shelf gratings not only have an extremely bearing capacity, but are also light and water permeable.
These points are particularly crucial in large high-bay systems, such as those frequently found in large logistics centers, industry or wholesale. Thanks to the translucent design, the occupancy of the racks can also be seen from below.
At the same time, the water permeability serves safety, as the use of sprinkler systems is not hindered in the event of a fire. The material is also not susceptible to moisture and corrosion.
In addition, shelf gratings are extremely stable and have a bearing capacity, while at the same time having a low dead weight. Due to the flexibility in the production of these shelves, optimum height utilization can be achieved so that the grating can be inserted into the shelving system, meaning there are no height differences and, ideally, no additional fixing material is required.
This makes shelf gratings the ideal shelves for pallet racks. Thanks to their design, they ensure optimum load distribution in the rack. One of their greatest advantages is their versatility, which makes it possible to implement individually tailored logistics solutions for each customer as required thanks to quick and easy assembly.
Shelf gratings can be manufactured in a wide variety of designs. Due to their design, they can also be produced individually with little effort. There are basically two different types of shelf gratings:
– Shelf gratings with Gratings
– Shelf gratings with perforated metal planks
A distinction is made between inlaid and surface-mounted Gratings. Depending on the application, with a corresponding sliding or locking mechanism. While perforated metal planks are used in particular in conjunction with cantilever rackings, the different types of grating offer a wide selection and variability for almost any installation situation.
Perforated metal planks can bridge enormous free spans thanks to the combination of profile width, thickness and height, depending on the intended shelf load in the rack. The possible production lengths range up to 10 meters, which also allows savings to be made in the rest of the shelving structure. Like all grating shelves, they are light and water permeable and therefore also sprinkler suitability. Different surface finishes and quick assembly make them an ideal floor for racks of all kinds.
Racks with Gratings are particularly impressive due to their high degree of flexibility in product planning, which allows the right answer to every installation situation. As a rule, no additional fixing material is required, as they are fixed directly to the grating. In addition to optimum height utilization, shelf gratings with grating are particularly impressive due to their light and water permeability, which also makes them sprinkler suitability.
Thanks to their high stability and variety, shelf gratings offer numerous possible applications. These include in particular
– Industrial shelving
– Heavy duty shelving
– High racks
– Racks in the warehouse and logistics area
– Pallet racks
– Cantilever rackings
Thanks to their nature, grating shelves are suitable for storing almost all conceivable goods and products. From preliminary products and components to finished machines and products for the end consumer to foodstuffs or even hazardous goods, Gratings are ideal for use as shelving.
