Explore our certified cold-formed steel racking systems and safety hardware manufactured to comply with FEM 10.2.02, EN 15512, and ANSI MH16.1 specifications for modern distribution centers.
Utilizes nested telescoping carts moving on inclined structural steel rails. Delivers high density with 2 to 6 pallet positions deep per lane operating under LIFO rotation rules.
Engineered for unhindered horizontal handling of elongated stock such as structural tubing, steel profiles, rebar, timber packs, and composite extrusions up to 3,000 kg per arm.
Rack-supported industrial mezzanine structures that multiply floor space verticality. Integrated staircase modules, safety handrails, and pallet drop gates rated up to 1,000 kg/m².
Solid hot-rolled steel impact deflector. Anchored directly into concrete footings to absorb dynamic impacts from forklifts and counterbalances, preventing costly upright buckling.
Heavy-duty stamped steel base cups providing interlocking stacking security for modular stillages, mobile post pallets, and transport steel bins across active yard environments.
Portable, demountable pallet frames engineered for dynamic warehouse configurations, bulk bulk-bag storage, and seasonal stockpiling without permanent floor drilling.
Precision spring-loaded face-out merchandiser tracks and clear polymer dividers designed for pick-face cartoning, fast inventory fronting, and high-velocity retail picking stations.
Continuous bay channels eliminate handling aisles to achieve up to 80% spatial cube density. Ideal for massive batches of identical SKUs, cold rooms, and raw ingredient staging.
Selective pallet racking represents the architectural backbone of international logistics. Providing 100% immediate accessibility to every stored unit load without shifting neighboring pallets, it is the globally accepted standard for FMCG distributors, third-party logistics providers (3PLs), and industrial spare-parts hubs.
Roll-formed through 20+ progressive stations into an optimized 11-fold closed-profile Omega configuration. Precision perforated at 50mm or 75mm pitches, uprights exhibit outstanding axial compressive strength and torsion resistance under full seismic load combinations.
Constructed with dual C-profiles continuously seam-welded to create hollow rectangular sections. Welded to heavy-gauge 3, 4, or 5-prong cold-stamped connector brackets featuring automatic spring-action safety locking pins to avoid accidental dislodgement from lift trucks.
Oversized footplates laser cut from structural grade steel plates. Engineered to transfer moment stresses cleanly into industrial slab foundations via dual M12/M16 chemical or mechanical wedge anchors calculated against site-specific earthquake acceleration factors.

The global warehousing landscape is undergoing rapid technological transformation. Forward-looking procurement directors must anticipate shifting mechanical and operational paradigms.
Conventional selective layouts are increasingly adapted to host autonomous reach trucks and floor-level AMRs. This necessitates floor-level guided tracks, tighter manufacturing tolerances on beam deflections (≤ L/200), and integrated optical barcode target plates on load levels.
Rising ESG standards and sea freight costs have accelerated the shift toward micro-alloyed HSLA steels. Thinner gauge materials engineered with higher yield strengths achieve equal or superior load ratings while cutting tare weight by 12%–18%, significantly lowering carbon footprint.
Industrial real estate acquisition costs have surged globally. Procurement teams are heavily favoring hybrid installations where selective pallet racking frameworks serve simultaneously as structural supports for overhead picking mezzanines and catwalk runways.
Standard static calculations are no longer adequate for regulatory sign-offs. Modern supply chain operations mandate rigorous Non-Linear Time-History (NLTH) finite element simulations to ensure rack structures remain serviceable without brittle collapse during high-intensity earthquakes.
Cold storage facilities and tropical coastal logistics centers demand extreme corrosion resistance. The market is shifting from conventional paint toward pre-galvanized upright frames paired with zinc-rich powder-coated beams to eliminate atmospheric blister rust and chemical degradation.
To guard against supply disruptions, global enterprises demand standardized tear-drop or 50mm pitch punchings that allow simple re-profiling, beam elevation adjustments, and cross-compatibility with secondary storage modules and warehouse accessories.
Technical answers prepared by our senior structural engineers to simplify your tender documentation, spatial calculations, and import compliance.
Beam capacities conform to EN 15512 and ANSI MH16.1 guidelines based on uniformly distributed loads (UDL). The deflection limit must not exceed L/200 (span length divided by 200). A safety factor of at least 1.5 is standard to prevent plastic deformation under maximum operational weight.
Our engineering desk needs clear warehouse dimensions (length, width, clear eaves height), concrete slab compressive strength, column grid locations, pallet footprint (W x D x H including overhang), maximum gross pallet weight, and the turning radius/lift reach of your forklifts.
HEDA Shelves runs finite element structural modeling incorporating local seismic site class, spectral response accelerations (Ss and S1), and building hazard category. We size footplates, brace geometry, and anchor embedment depths to ensure seismic compliance.
For standard ambient warehouses, our multi-stage phosphated electrostatic powder coating provides 500+ hours of salt-spray endurance. For harsh freeze-thaw cycles or coastal shipping hubs, hot-dip galvanized steel components provide superior, lifetime barrier defense against rust.
Standard production runs for 1 to 5 container loads typically range between 15 and 25 calendar days. Ocean transit times vary depending on the destination port (e.g., 20–35 days for the Americas or Europe). Containers are systematically bundled and labeled to ensure fast customs clearance.
Every shipment is accompanied by detailed CAD erection drawings, 3D exploded assembly diagrams, piece-by-piece packing lists, and step-by-step video manuals. For complex or multi-tier installations, certified site supervisors can be dispatched on-demand.
Forklift impact is the leading cause of racking collapse. Heavy-duty U-shaped or wrap-around column protectors absorb and deflect low-level impacts, shielding thin-walled upright sections from irreversible sectional deformation and eliminating costly pallet unloading repairs.
Yes. By integrating galvanized wire mesh decking, drop-in steel panels, or cross-pallet support bars, selective systems comfortably support unpalletized cartons, odd-sized skids, and heavy tote boxes while meeting NFPA fire-sprinkler drainage requirements.
