Storage Guide

Over the next few months till Feb 2022, there will be price increases in our METALSISTEM products. The price increase is introduced to combat the rising cost of both steel and powder-coating raw material. Current market trends, evolved over the past 8 months, are a direct consequence of international dynamics, which have brought a doubling in steel prices.

A storage rack or racking is a structure that consists of at least two upright (vertical) frames, horizontal beams, and some form of decking (bars, panels, meshes or none) in order to store goods and materials.

In this guide, we at SWL help you understand the various types of storage racks and identify which is the one you truly need for your storage space.

The exclusive development of our Galvanized Boltless Racks is proven to minimize welding and coating/painting processes - which reduces our ecological footprint in both air emissions and gas consumption.

That's why we actively recommend using our galvanized products. And we strongly encourage you to join us in playing a part to protect our environment.

The L-Shape Rack only comes in Galvanized Silver as the Colored versions are powder coated, causing the Shelf Beams to be thicker than usual. This prevents the L-Shape Connector Bracket from clipping onto the Shelf Beams properly, without damaging the powder coat.

Storing large amounts of inventory on these Boltless Racks become common and yet, Storage Rack Safety is often taken for granted. So what can you do to store safely? We have 4 Golden Rules to Storage Rack Safety that you should know of!

In this guide, we will talk about the key factors that ultimately influence the storage rack layout in your storeroom and how to maximize storage space, so that whatever you buy from Amazon Prime, AliExpress, Ezbuy or Taobao, will not be scattered all over your home.

Hot-dip galvanizing involves the immersion of steel work-pieces into a bath of molten zinc heated to a temperature of approximately 840 F. The zinc alloys with the surface of the base metal to form a protective finish. The zinc reacts with the oxygen in the atmosphere to form zinc oxide. The most important benefit of hot-dip galvanization is enhanced protection against corrosion.

Spangle is the appearance of tiny triangular or flower-shaped crystallization pattern on the outer surface of the galvanized coating. This coating phenomenon is a combined product of multiple variables.

Your new home is ready and you are eager to move in. With much enthusiasm, you arranged for your furniture and items to be transported. All of a sudden, the entire home is in a mess - there is no effective way to stay organized and everyone is frustrated.
