Choosing your shelving for spare parts storage
Every store, workshop and administration has specific needs when it comes to parts storage. To meet these needs, Provost, designer and manufacturer of shelving systems, offers scalable solutions adapted to all trades: find out which is best suited to your activity and your premises.
Types of parts and loads to be stored
Your choice of shelving system will depend first and foremost on the type and load of the parts you need to store, and the type of premises you need to store them in.
In-store storage and display
If you want to display your spare parts in-store, you can opt for a gondola solution like the Promag 3, which will enable you to showcase your products and the offers associated with them. In particular, Promag 3 shelves can be divided using dividers and bins specifically adapted to bulk parts.
In-store storage
If you need to store your parts within a reserve, shop shelving will be specifically adapted to your need. For parts with light loads, Prospace+ is available in numerous dimensions to suit your specific layout requirements. Also available with sheet metal or tubular shelves, Prospace+ shelving can support from 125 to 225 kg and from 50 kg to 250 kg per level respectively, depending on the chosen length, height and depth of the shelving. Prospace+ accessories also enable you to adapt your racking to the products stored, with, for example, solid or grid bottoms, doors and sides to secure your products, or dividers to best organize your different part numbers. If the parts you store are heavier, Prorack+ shelving will enable you to store up to 400 kg per level, while retaining a high degree of modularity. Combined with a mezzanine platform for floor extension, Prospace+ and Prorack+ can also be used for high-bay storage with circulation aisles.
Environment and part rotation frequency
The layout and layout of your storeroom or workshop is another factor to be taken into account when choosing your spare parts storage solution. Depending on whether you handle your products manually, with a forklift or motorized equipment, you'll need to define different circulation aisles adapted to your needs. You should also check that your floor is level, especially if your shelving is so high that it needs to be anchored to the ground.
To gain storage space, you can also opt for a multi-level solution using a mezzanine platform, which will enable you to multiply your storage space without losing floor space.
