"Pallet Rack Roll Forming Machine is design for produce storage shelf pallet rack. It produces pallet rack of different specifications by uncoiling, leveling, punching, roll forming and cutting cold-rolled steel plates, galvanized steel plates and other metal plates. Metal shelf column making machine can ensure that the produced columns have high precision, high strength and good load-bearing capacity.

 

The pallet rack equipment is mainly used to produce metal structural support parts such as storage shelves, supermarket shelves, industrial shelves, logistics shelves, etc., and is widely used in logistics, manufacturing, retail and e-commerce warehousing industries.

 

Generally speaking, pallet rack roll forming machine are divided into light duty storage pallet rack and heavy duty shelf columns, which have different load-bearing capacities and are suitable for storage needs in different industries. As a manufacturer of metal shelf columns, when purchasing metal shelf column forming machines, there is usually a question of "why the price of this equipment is so expensive".

 

KINGREAL ROLL FORMR will briefly explain the reasons that affect the price of pallet rack making machine through this article.

 

 

1/Light Gauge Pallet Rack Making Machine And Heavy Duty Pallet Rack Machine

 

Light-duty warehouse pallet rack machine usually process cold-rolled steel plates or C-shaped steels with a thickness of 1.0-1.5mm to reduce costs and meet light load requirements. The pallet rack are mostly designed with equilateral angle steel or C-shaped grooves, with a punching spacing of 50mm, which is convenient for flexible adjustment of the layer height and lightweight overall structure. Suitable for scenes with a single-layer load of ≤150kg and relying on manual handling.

 

Heavy-duty warehouse pallet rack machine are used to process steel with a thickness of more than 2.0mm to meet high load requirements. The shelf columns are formed by multi-angle bending of hot-rolled plates, reinforced with horizontal and diagonal braces, and designed with safety pins to lock the crossbeams to prevent falling off. The single-layer load can reach 500-3000kg, and it needs to be used with forklifts or stack. It is often used in logistics warehousing and large-scale industrial scenes.

 

Due to the difference in the thickness of the processed raw materials and the design of the shelf columns, the price of light-duty shelf column machines is generally lower than that of heavy-duty shelf column machines. Light-duty shelf column equipment pursues economy and flexibility, while heavy-duty shelf column equipment focuses on high strength and industrial adaptability.

2/Pallet Rack Making Machine Performance

From the analysis of a single warehouse pallet rack machine, the factors affecting the price are usually related to the configuration of the machine equipment.

1. Combine Decoiler And Straightener

The two-in-one decoiling of metal shelf columns refers to a device that combines decoiling and straightening, which is mainly used for the production and processing of metal shelf columns. Traditional production lines usually use separate decoiling machines and straightening machines, while the two-in-one decoiling machine integrates these two functions, optimizes the production process and improves efficiency.

2. Punch Machine

The thickness of the coil, the accuracy of the punching and the hole spacing determine the configuration of the punching machine equipment. The punching machine for metal shelf columns is a device used to punch holes on the shelf columns, usually a high-precision mechanical punching machine or a hydraulic punching machine. The main function of the punching machine is to punch out installation holes on the metal sheet according to the predetermined specifications and spacing, so as to facilitate the insertion of beams or other structural parts.

3. Roll Forming Machine

The cold roll forming machine of the warehouse pallet rack machine is divided into different types such as quick-change unit type and automatic change type. The configuration difference directly affects the price. For example, the equipment with integrated automatic control system has higher cost, but it can improve the forming accuracy and efficiency.

The higher the forming meters per minute, the higher the price of the metal rack column equipment is usually (such as high-speed models are suitable for mass production). The thickness, width and material strength grade of the metal sheet that the metal rack column equipment can handle directly affect the equipment structure design and power requirements.

4. Cutting Station

The cutting device of the metal rack column is a device used to cut the cold-rolled rack column into a specified length, usually located in the last process of the rack column production line. Its function is to accurately and efficiently cut the continuously produced rack columns into single finished products according to the set size to meet the installation requirements of different rack systems.

According to the actual production needs of customers, KINGREAL ROLL FORMER can provide different configuration options such as hydraulic cutting, mechanical punching and sawing.

3/Service system

Suppliers usually have professional teams to provide one-stop services from design, production to commissioning. And provide customers with after-sales warranty services and quick response mechanisms. This part of the service cost may be added to the cost of the metal shelf column equipment to better ensure the customer's use needs.

Other influencing factors:

1. Cross-regional transportation or complex installation will increase the overall quotation.

2. Develop non-standard molds or adjust the molding process according to customer needs, which requires additional R&D costs
