Through type shelving is a high-density storage rack that allows forklifts to directly enter the shelving channel to access goods. The core is to eliminate the independent spacing of traditional shelves, allowing goods to be stored continuously along the depth direction of the channel. It focuses on "maximizing the use of warehouse space" and is the preferred solution for storing bulk and few category goods.
Its core advantages are threefold: firstly, it has extremely high storage density, with integrated shelf channels and storage areas. Compared to beam shelves, it reduces channel space by more than 50%, and warehouse storage capacity can be increased by 60% -80%, especially suitable for large-scale warehousing scenarios with tight land resources; Secondly, it is suitable for batch storage, where goods of the same SKU can be stacked continuously along the depth of the channel, making it suitable for bulk goods such as food, building materials, and chemicals that require "whole in and whole out" operations, reducing the cost of dispersed storage management; The third advantage is high cost-effectiveness, relatively simple structure, no need for complex accessories, initial investment is more than 70% lower than that of automated three-dimensional warehouses, and maintenance is simple, only requiring regular checks on the stability of guide rails and columns.
It should be noted that its access mode is mostly "last in, first out" (LIFO). If "first in, first out" (FIFO) is required, a through type shelf with dual entry and exit (also known as a corridor shelf) should be selected; And it needs to be operated with a forklift with guide wheels to avoid collisions with the shelves. Widely used in cold storage, food storage, raw material storage and other scenarios, it is not suitable for the needs of multiple SKUs and high-frequency picking.
