How to install warehouse signs
Location signs in your warehouse can be installed in a number of ways, depending on the location itself. For example, you can attach warehouse signs for busy locations such as bulk locations, staging areas and zones to the ceiling, as follows:
- With powerful magnets either with or without the use of chains.
- suspension from steel wire rope.
- suspension from ID-RAIL.
- Use nuts, bolts and screws, cable ties, magnets, C-hooks or double-sided foam tape.
Installation using magnets and chains
If your ceiling is made up of corrugated iron, metal or steel beams, you can install location signs with chains, hooks and powerful pot magnets. This is an easy solution for installing warehouse location signs if the ceiling is not too high and the bulk locations are not stacked too high. Each pot magnet can support 10 kg, so you can be sure that the signs will not move unless you move them yourself.
Installation using pot magnets
In refrigerated and cold storage warehouses, using standard installation materials is not always an option. In cases like these, pot magnets can also be an effective solution. Our designers mount powerful screw magnets to the signs, allowing you to attach them directly to the ceiling for quick identification of specific warehouse areas or storage locations.
Installation using steel wire rope
Depending on the type of signage you use, you can choose to suspend our clip-on signs from a steel wire rope that’s hung right above your bulk storage locations. You can be easily hook the sign onto the steel wire rope making it easy to move or replace signs when storage locations are changed, added or cancelled.
Installation using ID-RAIL
If your storage locations are in close proximity to one another, our ID-RAIL system has proven to be a simple yet effective solution. This system is made up of horizontal narrow pipes that are interconnected by joints, suspended from steel wire rope. The sturdy construction of the ID-RAIL system ensures stability, making the signs resistant to e.g. gusts of wind.
Additional mounting options
Other options for mounting warehouse signs include the use of screw eyes or screw-in hooks to which you can attach the chains, if the ceiling is made of wood.
When mounting signs onto pallet racking, cable ties, magnetic backing, C-hooks or double-sided foam tape are a low-cost but effective solution. You can order these, and other tools from our customer service department.
Advice on installing warehouse signs
Whether they are working on the floor, inside a forklift or a man-up truck, it’s imperative for your warehouse operators to be able to identify and scan your storage locations quickly and easily. This ensures a fast and effective flow of goods on a daily basis.
