Shelves are everywhere in our lives, such as supermarkets, clothing stores, warehouses, etc. Generally, shelves are composed of columns, beams, and laminates, in order to achieve the purpose of supporting loads. In addition to supporting loads, the laminate also plays the role of transporting goods, being an indispensable part of the shelf. So, what kind of laminate should be used as a shelf laminate?

Let's take medium-sized warehouse shelves as an example. Those who know warehouse shelves know that the goods that can be stored on medium shelves are not particularly heavy, but are accessed manually. We usually plan a load of 200 kg to 500 kg per level. If the load is so heavy, if we use steel sheets as laminate, will it be easy to deform?
Steel sheet is a thin layer. We all know that if you place something heavy on a very thin piece of wood, it will deform or break. Replacing it with wood laminate, which is 15 mm thick, this does not happen, and the heavy load does not easily deform or break. The boards are made of many thin boards compressed into thick wooden planks. We could say that the steel plate should be thicker, but let's think, if the steel plate is thicker, how much would it cost? How much will it cost? On the shelf, a set of medium shelves has three levels, so how big is the medium shelf? If you want to change the shelf, you can't move it. Is it inconvenient to use? In this way, wood laminate is better, it can meet the delivery of goods without deforming, without breaking, and saves money. It also makes the shelves a bit lighter and easier to move. Steel mesh laminate deforms more easily than steel sheet, so wood is a suitable choice for warehouse shelves according to the above comparison.
