A-Frames
Ideal for warehouses, distribution hubs, factories and other inventory storage environments, A-frames are strong, flexible material handling solutions that offer a multitude of benefits.
What is an A-frame?
Named for its shape in profile, an A-frame is an invaluable item of equipment with a sturdy structure employed to store, dispense or transport goods. Its strength and shape mean it is excellent for holding and moving large, heavy or fragile items that are flat.
Benefits of using A-frames
Hardwearing A-frames are built to last and are excellent for keeping materials stored securely. Their upright design can help warehouse owners maximise available vertical space, but it also makes accessing goods safely easier and mobile options can streamline handling processes. A-frames promote workplace health and safety and prevent damage to goods both in storage and transit.
Types of A-frames
There are a wide range of A-frames available to select from. Static A-frames are excellent as designated storage points that offer easy access to goods they hold. As their name suggests, mobile A-frames (sometimes called A-frame carts) are engineered to double up, serving as storage and transport and making it simple and swift to take heavy, cumbersome and fragile items safely and securely from A to B. Heavy-duty A-frames are also offered that can carry items of considerable weight. Static A-frames can typically hold heavier items than mobile options.
Common uses for A-frames
Often utilised to hold large, flat and fragile materials like doors, glass panes, metal panels and large stone tiles, A-frames can serve as heavy-duty manual mobile carts or stationery stillages. They are also commonly used in warehouses as part of high-speed automated picking systems.
