In the wave of industry and intelligent warehousing, tool racks, as the core storage equipment for hardware stores, workshops, warehouses, etc., are transforming from "simple placement" to "efficient management". Whether it's small screwdrivers, wrenches and other accessories, or large drills, molds and other heavy tools, a suitable tool holder can shorten the time of "finding tools" from 10 minutes to 10 seconds. So, how can we create a "tool storage and display system" that suits our own needs from three dimensions: selection logic, material selection, and size design?
一 , Selection logic: First clarify the requirements, then match the solution
The selection of hardware tool racks is based on the precise matching of "tool attributes" and "usage scenarios".
Tool type: Is it a small scattered accessory, a medium-sized handheld tool, or a heavy-duty mold?
Usage scenario: Is it a hardware store, long-term storage in a warehouse, maintenance site, or next to a workshop production line?
Core requirement: Should we prioritize saving space, efficiency, or load-bearing capacity?
Taking the workshop production line as an example, high-frequency tools such as drills and wrenches are suitable for choosing hanging plate tool racks with hooks and partition areas, which can visually display the tools and allow workers to turn around to access them; When storing heavy molds in the warehouse, drawer style mold racks should be selected to save space and avoid mold collision and damage through the drawer style structure.
二, Material and Material: Upgraded from "Durability" to "Adaptability"
The material is the "skeleton" of the tool rack, which directly determines its service life and load-bearing capacity. The common materials and applicable scenarios in the current market are as follows:
Material type, core characteristics, applicable scenarios
Cold rolled steel with high strength, corrosion resistance, and moderate cost, heavy-duty tool racks (such as mold racks and drill racks), hardware displays, and high-frequency equipment used in workshops
Stainless steel has strong corrosion resistance and is easy to clean. It is suitable for cleaning tool racks in food/pharmaceutical workshops and damp environment warehouses
Aluminum alloy lightweight, aesthetically pleasing lightweight tool racks (such as parts box racks, mobile material racks), suitable for scenarios that require frequent movement
三, Dimensional design: flexible adjustment from "standardization" to "customization"
The core of size design is the balance between tool size and spatial size. Enterprises need to avoid the misconception of "buying too big wastes space, buying too small cannot fit", and can adjust from the following three dimensions:
1. Basic dimensions: matching tools and space
Length: Determine according to the number of tools. For example, small accessory racks can choose 1200mm, and heavy-duty mold racks can be extended up to 3400mm.
Depth: Adjust according to the depth of the tool. For example, the depth of the handheld drill is about 200mm, and the depth of the tool holder can be set to 400mm.
Height: It is determined based on the net height of the warehouse and the storage method. For example, the recommended height for manually stored shelves is ≤ 2000mm, while for mechanical storage shelves, the height can reach 4000mm.
2. Layer spacing: adjustability is key
The spacing between layers should be adapted to the height of the tool, for example, a screwdriver can be set to a spacing of 200mm, and an electric drill can be set to a spacing of 350mm. At present, mainstream tool racks adopt 50mm incremental adjustment, which adjusts the height of the shelves through the holes on the columns to meet the storage needs of different tools.
3. Customized design: solving special needs
For irregular tools, a cantilever design can be used to suspend the tool on the cantilever to avoid occupying the space of the laminated board; For tool racks that need to be moved, a mute wheel can be added for easy adjustment of position at any time.
The choice of hardware tool rack is never about "buying the most expensive", but about "buying the right one". Starting from the requirements, matching materials, sizes, and designs is necessary to upgrade the tool rack from a "storage device" to an "efficiency engine". As a professional shelving factory, we can provide one-stop customized solutions based on the types of tools, space dimensions, and usage scenarios required by customers - from heavy-duty cold-rolled steel mold racks to aluminum alloy mobile tool carts, from hanging plate workshop racks to intelligent storage racks, ensuring that every tool has a "dedicated location" and every access is "efficient and convenient".
