Multi-level pick tower
stowshelf® is a modular and versatile shelving solution developed for hand-loaded light to medium-duty storage, up to 250 kg/shelf. Multi-tier installations are also available as the frame can take loads of up to 5500 kg.
The frame comprises two shelving uprights and a frame bracing system. The rectangular side holes in the uprights allow mounting of the shelf clips at a pitch of 25 mm. The round holes are for bolting or riveting of the various kinds of bracing systems.
The shelves: a unique design
- The length of the shelf corresponds with most types of cartons and plastic containers.
- The box-shaped edge will not twist under load.
- The front profile is ideal for fixing labels.
- The short side of the shelf is triple folded.
- The double folded corners, which are clinched, give a high rigidity and high resistance against impact loads.
- The edges are not sharp, avoiding injuries.
- The shelves are perforated every 53mm, allowing shelf dividers to be mounted.
The frames
The frame comprises two shelving uprights and a frame bracing system.
Three types of frames are available: the open frame, the closed frame and the braced frame.
Multitier flooring systems
Both, stowshelf® and Minirack® can be equipped with floors and stairs to create multi-tier applications. Two types of flooring systems are commonly used: either intermediate walkways, floor-over systems or a combination of both. For normal walkways a uniformly distributed load of 350 kg/m² is generally used. For hand- operated trucks or for storage of goods other load capacities may be specified (500 to 1000 kg/m²).
Floor decking
In general a wooden decking or a grating floor is applied. The wooden decking is a high-density chipboard, with a white finish at the underside and optionally an anti-slip coating at the upperside.
