What is Cold Storage Pallet Racking?

Cold storage pallet racking is a racking system specifically designed for cold storage, typically storing goods in pallet units. It is a crucial component of cold chain logistics, used for efficient storage of palletized goods and supporting barcode management.

The cold chain is an extremely important link in warehousing operations. In the food, medical, and chemical industries, maintaining low temperatures is paramount, affecting product safety and optimal condition. If products need to be stored within a specific temperature range, that temperature must be maintained at every stage from production to consumption.

Suitable Cold Storage Pallet Racking Materials

1. Structural Steel: Roll-formed steel is cheaper, but cannot withstand extreme cold storage temperatures. Some cold storage temperatures drop below zero. Under extreme temperatures, roll-formed steel becomes brittle. Structural steel has strong load-bearing capacity and stability, making it the best choice for cold storage.

2. Galvanized steel: Galvanized steel is applied to the surface of ordinary steel, which increases its rust resistance.

Industry Applications of Cold Storage Pallet Racking

1. Food Industry

Primarily used for storing various fresh, frozen, and aquatic products, whether refrigerated or frozen.

2. Pharmaceutical Industry

Primarily used for storing medicines and vaccines requiring strict temperature control.

3. Chemical Industry

Mostly used for storing chemical reagents and materials requiring low-temperature storage.

4. Other Industries

Suitable for manufacturing and logistics industries requiring low-temperature storage.

Cold Storage Pallet Racking System Types

1. Semi Automatic Shuttle Racking System

Manual staff place pallets of goods at the front of the track, and a shuttle automatically transports the pallets to the designated storage location.

2. Automated Four Way Shuttle Racking System

Products are transported to designated channels via a conveyor line, and then shuttles transport the pallets to the storage location.
