Common materials of metal shelves include steel, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, titanium alloy and wood. Iron and steel: Iron and steel is one of the most commonly used materials in metal shelves, with excellent load-bearing capacity and stability. Steel shelves can withstand a large weight, and is not easy to deform, suitable for the storage of heavy objects or large equipment. However, steel materials are prone to rust and corrosion and require regular maintenance .
Aluminum alloy: aluminum alloy material of light and good corrosion resistance, suitable for storage of light items or need to frequent movement of the scene. Aluminum alloy shelves are light in weight, high in strength, easy to process and install, but the bearing capacity is relatively weak, not suitable for the storage of heavy items .
Stainless steel: Stainless steel shelves have excellent corrosion resistance and aesthetics, can be used in wet or corrosive environment without damage. The stainless steel shelf cleaning and maintenance is also relatively simple, but the production cost is higher, more expensive.
Titanium alloy: Titanium alloy shelf is a kind of high-grade display shelf, mainly used for high-end display scene. Its main frame is made of titanium alloy, which can be decorated with glass or wood, excellent display effect.
Wood: Wood shelves are also common in many warehouses, especially for storing light goods. Wood shelves are environmentally friendly and beautiful, usually made from hard wood, such as oak and walnut, which have high strength and durability. Wood shelves are suitable for occasions with certain requirements for aesthetics, such as retail commodity display area . Advantages and disadvantages of different materials: steel: advantages are strong bearing capacity, good stability; disadvantages are easy to rust, need maintenance. Aluminum alloy: advantage is light and corrosion resistant; disadvantage is limited load-bearing capacity. Stainless steel: the advantage is strong corrosion resistance, beautiful; the disadvantage is high cost. Titanium alloy: the advantage is high strength, beauty; the disadvantage is high cost. Wood: the advantage is environmental protection, beautiful; the disadvantage is limited bearing capacity.
