If shelves need to be installed in the warehouse , that , The first is based on the amount of data stored every day , And the nature of the goods 、 Turnover times, etc , Design the type of shelf required , then , Calculate the number of plates corresponding to each shelf .

Tray words , Lease can be used , You can also buy it yourself . Rented pallets , Just refer to the quotation given by the leasing company , If you buy your own tray , It also needs to be divided by the depreciation period , then , Spread it out every month , Then we can get the monthly cost of pallets .
