Selective racking installation service in Vietnam - DML Viet Nam

Selective racking system has been widely used in Vietnam. It helps factories optimize their warehouse space and manage goods more effectively. DML Vietnam, the leading contractor of Selective racking, would like to introduce our services in this article.

Selective Racking Installation Steps

Site Preparation

• Measure the space to ensure dimensions match the racking layout.
• Clean and level the floor.
• Check for floor load-bearing capacity and obstructions (sprinklers, lights, etc.).

Layout Marking

• Use chalk lines or laser levels to mark the racking positions according to your layout plan.
• Mark anchor points for uprights to ensure alignment.

Assemble Uprights (Frames)

• If not pre-assembled, bolt together the vertical beams and horizontal/diagonal braces.
• Ensure the frames are square and upright.

Place Uprights

• Stand the first pair of uprights.
• Use temporary bracing to keep them stable and upright.

Install Beams

• Insert horizontal load beams into the slots or bolt them to the uprights at desired levels.
• Ensure beams are level.
• Secure beams with safety clips or locks (to prevent beam dislodgement).

Level and Square the System

• Use a level and tape measure to ensure everything is aligned and square.
• Adjust as necessary before anchoring.

Anchor the Uprights

• Drill anchor holes into the concrete floor.
• Install floor anchors as per manufacturer guidelines (usually 2 anchors per upright).

Repeat Installation for Other Bays

• Continue adding bays as per the layout.
• Use beams to connect subsequent upright pairs.
• Ensure consistent spacing and alignment throughout.

Install Safety Accessories

• Add row spacers (if back-to-back).
• Install column protectors, guard rails, and end-of-row protection.
• Add load signage and labeling.

Final Inspection

• Check for alignment, anchor security, and proper locking of beams.
• Ensure all components are installed per design.
• Verify load capacities are clearly marked.

The amazing benefits of Selective racking

Direct Access to Every Pallet

Selective racking allows each pallet to be accessed without moving others. This is crucial in operations where:

• Inventory turnover is high
• A wide variety of SKUs are stored
• Items need to be picked frequently and quickly

Flexibility and Versatility

It can store many types and sizes of products and can be used with different material-handling equipment (like forklifts). Great for:

• Mixed product warehouses
• Third-party logistics (3PL) providers

Cost-Effective

Compared to other systems (like drive-in or push-back racking), selective racking is:

• Less expensive to install
• Easier to maintain
• Scalable as business grows

FIFO Inventory Management

It supports First-In-First-Out (FIFO) inventory flow, which is important for:

• Perishable goods
• Time-sensitive products

Increased Visibility and Control

Since each pallet is visible and accessible, it’s easier to:

• Manage stock levels
• Conduct inventory checks
• Reduce the risk of misplaced goods

Selective racking construction costs

The cost of a selective racking installation typically includes several components, which can vary depending on the scale of the project, location, and vendor. Here's a breakdown of what is usually included:

Materials

• Racking components: Uprights, beams, wire decks, safety bars, row spacers, anchors, etc.
• Accessories: Safety guards, labels, end-of-aisle protectors.

Labor/Installation

• On-site installation: Labor to assemble and secure the racking system.
• Anchoring and leveling: Ensuring everything is installed per code and safety standards.
• Project management: Some vendors include supervision and coordination costs.

Engineering & Permits (if applicable)

• Seismic calculations: Especially important in certain regions.
• Permit drawings/submittals: For building or fire code approval.
• Inspection coordination: Some vendors help coordinate with local inspectors.

Freight/Delivery

• Shipping costs: Transporting the racking materials to your site.
• May also include offloading and staging the materials.

Optional Add-ons

• Design/layout services: CAD drawings and space optimization consulting.
• Training: On how to properly use and maintain the system.
• Dismantling/removal: If replacing old racking.
