Manufactured with high-yield Q235B/Q355B structural steel under ISO 9001:2015 and CE standards. Specifically configured for Philippine logistics conditions, seismic zone parameters, and vertical space optimization.
Procuring metal pallet racking from China for enterprise logistics facilities in the Philippines demands more than low pricing—it requires strict adherence to structural engineering codes, steel quality consistency, and export documentation accuracy. Established in 2001, Guangzhou Heda Shelves Co., Ltd. operates a vertically integrated 30,000 m² smart manufacturing plant equipped with over 30 continuous roll-forming lines, automated CNC punching, and fully enclosed 10-stage phosphating powder coating lines.
Our structural engineers design storage systems certified to European CE EN 15512 and ISO 9001:2015 quality standards. When supplying industrial projects across Metro Manila, Bulacan, Laguna, Cavite, and Batangas, we provide full structural calculation packages, seismic displacement analysis, foundation loading diagrams, and 3D CAD architectural integration before steel coiling begins.
The Greater Manila Area sits within active tectonic margins influenced by the West Valley Fault System, the Manila Trench, and the Philippine Fault Zone. The National Structural Code of the Philippines (NSCP 2015, 7th Edition, Section 208) classifies virtually all of Luzon, including Metro Manila, Laguna, Cavite, and Rizal, under Seismic Zone 4 ($Z = 0.40$). Generic warehouse racking imported without dynamic lateral calculation poses grave structural collapse risks during seismic events.
HEDA Shelves eliminates structural liabilities by tailoring every upright column cross-section, base plate thickness, anchor bolt embedment, and horizontal/diagonal frame bracing to site-specific seismic demand coefficients ($C_a, C_v$) and near-source acceleration parameters.
From high-throughput e-commerce fulfillment hubs along SLEX to refrigerated cold chain facilities near the Port of Manila, our structural solutions address regional operational bottlenecks.
Concentrated in Laguna (Santa Rosa, Calamba, Biñan) and Bulacan (Marilao, Meycauayan). Selective and Double-Deep racking maximizes vertical clearance up to 14 meters, cutting warehouse footprint rental overheads currently averaging PHP 350 to PHP 500 per square meter monthly.

Every component destined for Philippine container shipment undergoes rigorous metallurgical testing, CNC cold roll-forming, automated robotic welding, and automated powder coating.










Importing warehouse equipment directly from our South China manufacturing terminal in Guangzhou offers significant shipping time and freight advantages compared to European or American suppliers. Transit times to Manila International Container Terminal (MICT / North Harbor) or Manila South Harbor average merely 5 to 8 ocean transit days, with direct feeder loops operating daily.
For industrial parks located in Southern Luzon (Laguna, Batangas), we also provide routing via Batangas International Port (ATI) to circumvent truck bans and highway congestion on the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) and Metro Manila Skyway.
Clear, engineering-backed answers addressing structural calculations, customs duties, concrete slab requirements, and installation support in Manila.
Every engineering project is modeled under 3D Finite Element Analysis (FEA) using site-specific geotechnical parameters. For Metro Manila installations, we apply NSCP 2015 Zone 4 seismic base shear equations ($V = \frac{C_v I}{R T} W$). We calculate dynamic seismic overturning moments, specify high-ductility connection clips with safety pins, and engineer footplate anchor bolt shear ratings approved by structural engineers of record (EOR).
Standard warehouse pallet racking (HS Code 7308.90) imports into the Philippines face an MFN import duty rate of 7% to 10%. However, because HEDA Shelves is an authorized manufacturer in Guangzhou, China, we furnish official Form E (ACFTA) certificates with every shipment, reducing the preferential import duty to 0%. Philippine buyers only pay the statutory 12% Value Added Tax (VAT), which is refundable as input tax or zero-rated if you are a PEZA-registered enterprise.
For racking systems up to 6 to 8 meters tall with 2,000kg pallet pair levels, a reinforced concrete slab thickness of at least 150mm to 200mm with compressive strength $f'_c \ge 28\text{ MPa}$ (4,000 psi) is typically required. For high-bay installations (10m–15m) or narrow-aisle (VNA) systems, we require minimum 200mm–250mm slabs with $f'_c \ge 35\text{ MPa}$ and FF/FL floor flatness ratings conforming to ASTM E1155 / ACI 117 standards to prevent structural out-of-plumb displacement.
Metro Manila, Navotas, and Batangas coastal environments have relative humidity frequently exceeding 85%. Standard air-dry paint fails within months. HEDA uses an automated 10-stage immersion pre-treatment line (degreasing, acid pickling, and zinc phosphating) followed by an electrostatic thermosetting epoxy-polyester powder coating cured at 180°C–200°C. For deep blast freezers (-25°C) or chemical warehouses, we provide full hot-dip galvanization conforming to ASTM A123 with a minimum 65–85 μm zinc layer.
Yes. We offer two installation support paths: 1) Comprehensive Installation Engineering Package: Detailed 3D CAD anchor layout drawings, beam slot numbering diagrams, torque specification charts, and step-by-step video guides for your local contractor; or 2) On-Site Senior Installation Supervision: Dispatching an experienced bilingual HEDA site engineer to Manila to lead, align, plumb, and certify your local rigging crew.
The Revised Fire Code of the Philippines (RA 9514) and NFPA 13 mandate strict longitudinal and transverse flue spaces (typically 6 inches / 150mm) to allow overhead sprinkler discharge penetration through the rack structure. Our CAD designers engineer exact row-spacer lengths, wire mesh decks, and drop-in pallet support bars that maintain required flue clearances while securing standard 1,200mm × 1,000mm GMA/ISO pallets.
