02Free 3D & CAD Design
CAD floor plans, 3D renderings and load calculations you can share with your local engineer before ordering.
03Safe, Durable Components
Pickling, phosphating and electrostatic powder coating protect steel against tropical humidity.
04Fully Customized Solutions
Sizes, colours, load ratings and accessories matched to your pallets, products and building.
Central America Project Planning
Engineered for Local Conditions, Delivered to Your Nearest Port
Warehouses from Guatemala City to Panama's Colón Free Zone face the same three challenges: seismic activity, high humidity and long supply lines. Here is how we plan for each.
Seismic-Aware Structural Design
Central America lies on the Pacific Ring of Fire. We size uprights, bracing, base plates and anchors using the seismic parameters and slab data supplied by your local engineer or building code.
Finishes for Heat & Humidity
Standard powder coating suits most dry warehouses; hot-dip galvanizing is recommended for cold rooms, coastal sites near Caribbean or Pacific ports, and agrochemical storage.
Container-Optimized Packing
Components are bundled, labelled by position and listed per container, making customs clearance and site sorting faster.
Remote & On-Site Installation
Installation drawings and video guidance come with every order; supervisors can travel for larger projects.

Applications & Industries
Storage Solutions for Central America's Key Industries
From coffee and sugar exporters to auto-parts distributors, each sector needs a different balance of density, access and stock rotation.
Challenge: bulky sacks, seasonal peaks, slow dispatch
Agriculture & Agro-Export
Racking for coffee, cocoa, sugar, grain, seed, feed and fertilizer warehouses — built to handle harvest-season peaks without floor stacking.
- Selective racking for mixed lots and quality grades
- Drive-in racking for bagged bulk products
- Wire decking for sacks and big bags
Challenge: thousands of SKUs, lost parts, slow picking
Auto Parts Distribution
From tyres and bumpers to clips and filters, we combine shelving, racking and mezzanines so every part has a fixed, findable location.
- Longspan shelving for small and medium parts
- Tyre racks and pallet racking for bulk stock
- Multi-level mezzanine to double picking area
Challenge: long, heavy and fragile materials
Building Supplies & Hardware
Ferreterías and builders' merchants store rebar, pipes, profiles, tiles and cement efficiently with the right mix of systems.
- Cantilever racking for steel and PVC pipe
- Heavy pallet racking for tiles and cement
- Mezzanine for showroom-style retail picking
Challenge: crushed stacks, expiry control (FIFO)
Food & Beverage
For bottlers, food processors and wholesale distributors that move high volumes of a limited number of SKUs.
- Gravity flow racking for strict FIFO rotation
- Drive-in and shuttle racking for beverages
- Carton flow racking for order picking
Challenge: expensive refrigerated space, slow stock checks
Cold Storage
Every cubic metre of a cold room costs energy. High-density racking for seafood, dairy, fruit and frozen-food exporters reduces the space you need to cool.
- Radio shuttle racking — forklifts stay out of lanes
- Galvanized finish options for low temperature
- Drive-in racking for single-SKU blast freezers
Challenge: unstable drums, mixed-storage risk
Chemical & Agrochemical Storage
Racking for agrochemical, lubricant, paint and industrial chemical distributors where stability and segregation matter.
- Drum supports and pallet safety bars
- Corrosion-resistant coating options
- Column guards and end-of-aisle protection

FAQ
Questions from Central American Buyers
Answers to what importers in Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Belize ask us most before ordering.
More FAQsYes. We export to all seven Central American countries through main ports such as Puerto Quetzal, Santo Tomás de Castilla, Puerto Cortés, Acajutla, Corinto, Puerto Caldera, Moín, Balboa, Colón and Belize City. Shipments are usually quoted FOB or CIF, and each container is packed with a labelled loading list to speed up customs clearance.
Yes. Most of Central America sits on an active seismic belt. Our engineers prepare structural calculations using your load data, floor slab details and the seismic parameters required by your local engineer or building code, then specify upright sections, bracing, base plates and anchors accordingly.
Standard components are pickled, phosphated and electrostatically powder coated for corrosion resistance in tropical humidity. For cold rooms, coastal sites or chemical storage we recommend hot-dip galvanized or enhanced coating options, confirmed during design.
Every order includes installation drawings and component lists. Our team provides remote guidance by video, and on-site installation supervision can be arranged for larger projects.
Send your building length, width and clear height, column positions, pallet size and weight, forklift type and lift height, number of SKUs and expected throughput. With this data we prepare a free CAD layout and 3D rendering.
CE certification No. 2435-CPR-8605159, ISO 9001:2015 certification No. 18624Q00169R0M (valid until June 2027) and RoHS certification.
