Cargo stacking height
Thread Content
May I ask, what is the approximate height of the drums we use when lifting them with a forklift? How many layers do shelves usually have?
The main factors to consider are ground endurance, the inherent load-bearing capacity of the item, and stability. These factors may pose a risk of collapse. There are also relevant special regulations (regulations regarding the management of hazardous substances) available for reference.
There are no specific requirements for the shelf layers; it depends on your warehousing management and the type of containers used. I’m not quite sure what the task of using a forklift to lift barrels entails; generally, forklifts are managed based on their lifting height, and there are eight rules regarding when they should not be used. If it is a barrel-shaped item, it must be secured to prevent it from tipping over during lifting.
The normal height of the fork load capacity indicator for a forklift is 3 layers; the exact height depends on the forklift’s load capacity； However, typically chemical raw materials are allowed to be stacked in a maximum of two layers ； The stacking on shelves is determined by the strength of those shelves; there is no specified maximum number of layers allowed, but the strength requirements as well as the requirements regarding the distances between various elements must be met!
