1. high requirements for handling quality.As the storage machinery and equipment are mainly used for the movement and lifting of goods, which are generally used within the enterprise, its scope of operation is relatively small, and the requirements for the handling quality of goods are high. Necessary protective measures should be taken for the goods to reduce the damage of goods, while the requirements for the handling speed are relatively low.

2.The handling line is relatively fixed.The location of storage operation is relatively centralized, and the layout of transportation lines is more limited by the facilities of the operation site, especially the warehousing operation such as in and out operation, so the cargo operation lines are relatively fixed.

3.High degree of specialization.The storage operation consists of a series of operation links or processes that realize specific functions, such as loading and unloading, handling, stacking, etc. the function of a single process is relatively single, and the function differences between processes are generally large, so it is difficult to meet the operation requirements by using general machinery. In order to improve the working efficiency, the specialization degree of storage machinery and equipment is higher and higher, which also leads to the types of storage shelf equipment.There are many kinds of specifications, which make it difficult to design storage system and select storage equipment.

4.High degree of standardization.Each link of commodity circulation puts forward standardization requirements for the appearance and packaging of commodities. The standardization of commodity packaging also promotes the standardization process of logistics equipment, including warehousing machinery and equipment.At the same time, the high repeatability and professionalism of the mechanical movement in the storage operation has brought convenience to the standardization of the storage shelf equipment. The use of standardized design can realize the seamless connection of various operation links and improve the operation efficiency.

5.High degree of mechanization and automation.With the wide application of bar code technology, optical character recognition technology, magnetic code recognition technology, radio frequency recognition technology, automatic address recognition technology, automatic weighing technology and counting technology, the automation degree of modern storage equipment has been greatly improved.Storage operation has gradually eliminated manual operation, and replaced by large-scale, high-efficiency automatic storage equipment.

6.High requirements for energy conservation and economy.As an essential link in the field of circulation or enterprise logistics, warehousing process plays an extremely important role in realizing the value of commodities, which is often considered as a part of commodity cost. Therefore, in order to control warehousing cost, energy conservation and economy must be considered in the design and selection of warehousing machinery and equipment.

7.High environmental protection requirements.Due to the high requirements of warehouse cleanliness, it is necessary to strictly control the environmental pollution of storage machinery, such as the control of noise and exhaust emissions.

8.High safety requirements.In the process of storage operation, it is necessary to ensure the safety of personnel, equipment and goods in the complex environment and available space, which requires high safety performance of storage rack equipment.
