For merchants who purchase Supermarket roller shelves glides for the first time, the most confusing problem is "how to measure the size". If the size is measured incorrectly, it will lead to roller shelf being too long, too short, too wide or too narrow, which cannot be installed or used normally, and even cause the waste of purchase cost. Today, this step-by-step guide will teach you how to accurately measure the size of self-weight slides, whether it is a shelf or a refrigerated cabinet, you can measure it correctly at one time.

First, prepare the measuring tools: a tape measure (preferably a steel tape measure, which is more accurate), a pen and a notebook (used to record data). Then, according to the type of equipment (shelf or refrigerated cabinet), measure step by step. The specific steps are as follows:

Step 1: Confirm the Measuring Object (Shelf / Refrigerated Cabinet)

First, clarify which equipment roller shelf is to be installed on, because the measuring methods of shelves and refrigerated cabinets are slightly different. For shelves, focus on measuring the length and width of the layer board; for refrigerated cabinets, focus on measuring the length and depth of the storage layer, and pay attention to avoiding the partition of the refrigerated cabinet.

Step 2: Measure the Length (Core Dimension)

The length of Vending machines small shelf rack is consistent with the length of the equipment layer (shelf layer board / refrigerated cabinet storage layer), which is the core dimension. The measuring method is as follows:

1. For shelves: Stretch the tape measure, align one end with the left inner edge of the shelf layer board, and pull it to the right inner edge. The measured data is the length of the self-weight slide. Note: Do not measure the outer edge of the shelf, otherwise roller shelf will be too long and cannot be installed.

2. For refrigerated cabinets: Open the refrigerated cabinet door, stretch the tape measure, align one end with the left inner wall of the refrigerated cabinet storage layer, and pull it to the right inner wall. The measured data is the length of roller shelf. Note: Avoid the partition of the refrigerated cabinet, and measure the length of each storage layer separately if there are multiple partitions.

Key reminder: When measuring, keep the tape measure straight, do not bend or pull too tight, and accurate to the millimeter (mm) to avoid errors. If the length of the equipment layer is irregular (such as trapezoid), measure the length of the left, middle and right three points, take the average value, and ensure that roller shelf can fit perfectly.

Step 3: Measure the Width (Determine the Number of Rows)

The width of the self-weight slide refers to the width of a single slide, which is determined according to the size of the displayed products and the width of the equipment layer. The measuring method is as follows:

1. First, measure the total width of the equipment layer (shelf layer board / refrigerated cabinet storage layer): the method is the same as measuring the length, align the tape measure with the front inner edge of the layer, pull it to the rear inner edge, and record the data.

2. Determine the width of a single roller shelf according to the product size: the width of the slide should be 1-2cm larger than the diameter of the product (for cylindrical products such as beverages) or the width of the product (for square products such as snacks), so as to ensure that the product can slide smoothly without getting stuck.

3. Calculate the number of rows: divide the total width of the equipment layer by the width of a single self-weight slide, and take the integer (if there is a remainder, adjust the width of the slide appropriately to ensure that all slides can be installed). For example, if the total width of the equipment layer is 60cm, and the width of a single slide is 10cm, then 6 rows of slides can be installed.

Step 4: Measure the Height (Auxiliary Dimension)

The height of roller shelf is an auxiliary dimension, which mainly affects the installation space and the number of products that can be placed. The measuring method is as follows:

1. For shelves: Measure the height between the current layer board and the upper layer board, which is the maximum height of gravity roller shelf. The height of the slide should be less than this data to avoid affecting the placement of products on the upper layer.

2. For refrigerated cabinets: Measure the height of the storage layer (from the bottom of the layer to the top of the partition), and the height of the slide should be adapted to this data to ensure that the products can be placed normally and slide smoothly.

Step 5: Record and Confirm Data

After measuring all dimensions, record the data in the notebook in detail, including the type of equipment, length, total width, single slide width, number of rows and height. Then, communicate with the supplier in detail, provide the measured data, and ask the supplier to confirm whether the size is appropriate, and whether it is necessary to adjust according to the product specifications.

Key reminder: If you are not sure about the measurement method, you can take photos of the equipment (shelf / refrigerated cabinet) and the displayed products, send them to the supplier, and ask the supplier to help calculate the size. This can avoid measurement errors and ensure that the purchased roller shelf are fully compatible.
