Platform is also called steel structure platform. Modern platforms have many structures and complete functions. The major structural characteristic of platform is fully assembled structure with flexible design, so that individualized platforms can be designed and produced according to site requirements, function requirements and logistic requirements. Platforms are widely used in modern storage.

Generally, platforms use square steel, steel pipe or H-shaped steel as upright, H-shaped steel or C-shaped beam as floor bearing layer, special floor board or grating as floor surface layer, and high-strength bolts and special fasteners as connectors. The design bearing capacity of platform is generally less than 1,000kg/m². It can be used together with lifting platform, goods elevator and forklift, and two-tier or multi- tier structures may be designed in consideration of warehouse height and use requirements.
