Explore our core engineering assemblies manufactured under stringent ISO 9001:2015 and CE certification standards, fully adaptable for multi-tier platform integration and dynamic logistics.
A rigorous structural analysis of industrial mezzanine platforms designed for high-density Central European operations, addressing dynamic floor vibration, seismic resilience, and precise deflection limitations.
Unlike light gauge systems, our structural steel mezzanines (*volně stojící ocelové plošiny*) utilize hot-rolled European standard profiles including HEA, HEB, and IPE wide-flange beams paired with square hollow sections (SHS) or cold-formed heavy C/Z sections. Steels conform strictly to EN 10025-2 grades S235JR and high-yield S355JR (equivalent to certified Q235B and Q355B), ensuring tensile strengths of 345 to 510 MPa to absorb dynamic pallet-jack loading and heavy machinery vibrations without fatigue failure.
Structural stability requires adherence to ČSN EN 1993-1-1 serviceability limit states (SLS). We engineer floor beam deflection within tight standards: $L/300$ for standard general storage levels and $L/500$ for mezzanine decks accommodating pick-to-light automation, vertical reciprocating conveyors (VRC), or high-precision order fulfillment modules. Baseplates are fabricated from heavy-gauge structural plates anchored via chemical or mechanical expansion anchors into industrial concrete slabs rated C20/25 to C30/37.
Industrial builds across the Czech Republic must comply with ČSN 73 0802 and ČSN 73 0804 fire safety standards for non-production and production facilities. Our deck systems provide fire containment and sprinkler-permeable layouts. Options include open-mesh galvanized steel grating (DIN 24537) offering up to 75% water permeability for ESFR overhead sprinklers, or tongue-and-groove fire-retardant Bfl-s1 or A2-s1 particle decking coated with non-slip, antistatic mineral resin.

The Czech Republic functions as the vital industrial and logistics heart of the CEE region. Our structural mezzanines resolve square-footage bottlenecks across primary industrial nodes.
Clustered around manufacturing powerhouses like Mladá Boleslav, Kvasiny, Kolín, and Nošovice, automotive suppliers operate under rigorous Just-In-Sequence (JIS) and Just-In-Time (JIT) demands. Our custom mezzanines provide reinforced elevated staging areas for subassembly kitting, wire harness routing, and heavy injection molding spare tooling. Clear floor space below allows uninterrupted tugger-train routes and forklift maneuvering.
Positioned along the key logistics arteries of the D1 motorway (Prague – Brno – Ostrava) and D5 (Prague – Plzeň toward Bavaria), 3PL providers and e-commerce leaders (such as Alza, Rohlík, and international logistics consolidators) face record fulfillment volumes. Multi-tier mezzanine platforms double or triple picking floorspace, integrating seamlessly with spiral gravity chutes, carton flow tracks, and automated outbound sortation lines.
In heavy industrial strongholds such as Plzeň, Brno, and the Moravian-Silesian Region (Ostrava), machine shops require modular expansion that does not compromise slab utility. Our structural steel mezzanines support elevated cleanroom enclosures, CNC tool rooms, metrology laboratories, and administrative dispatch offices directly above operating stamping presses, maximizing facility utilization within established building envelopes.
Rising industrial land valuations, tightening regulatory approval cycles, and the strategic push toward nearshoring demand superior vertical cubic density over costly horizontal sprawl.
Prime industrial park real estate (across Class-A developer portfolios like CTPark, P3, Prologis, and VGP) around Prague and Brno commands prime rents exceeding €7.50 to €10.50 per square meter monthly. Building out new floor space through external greenfield expansion is cost-prohibitive. Installing an internal structural steel mezzanine unlocks vertical cubic capacity (exploiting clear heights of 10 to 12.5 meters), effectively cutting space acquisition costs by over 60%.
Navigating the Czech building code (*Stavební zákon*) for greenfield construction or structural building extensions requires complex zoning permits (*územní rozhodnutí*) and building approvals (*stavební povolení*), frequently taking 18 to 36 months. In contrast, our free-standing, demountable structural steel mezzanines are classified as internal non-structural technological equipment, radically compressing deployment timelines down to mere weeks.
European supply chain realignments have positioned the Czech Republic as a premier nearshoring recipient for electronics, automotive electrification, and defense contracting. Manufacturers need immediate, modular floor spaces capable of scaling fast. Our knock-down, bolt-together mezzanine designs provide agile infrastructure that can be modified, reconfigured, or relocated as production contracts evolve.
Founded in 2001, Guangzhou Heda Shelves Co., Ltd. has established itself as an international manufacturing leader in advanced pallet racking, industrial shelving, and multi-tier structural steel mezzanines. Our factory controls every engineering facet in-house: from raw steel coil de-coiling and automated CNC cold-roll forming to robotic welding, ultrasonic weld testing, and 10-stage phosphating electrostatic powder coating lines.
For Czech engineering buyers, importers, and general contractors, this vertical integration delivers structural transparency, verified test certificates, and full compatibility with European building standards without broker markups.
Essential technical, legal, and operational guidance addressing specific customs, safety, and construction inquiries from Czech engineering directors and procurement managers.
All HEDA structural steel mezzanine systems are engineered in accordance with Eurocode 3 (ČSN EN 1993: Design of Steel Structures) and rack-supported systems adhere to ČSN EN 15512. We verify limit states for strength, deflection, and stability. We supply verified fabrication execution dossiers aligned with EN 1090-2 (Execution class EXC2), allowing local authorized civil engineers (*autorizovaný statik*) to easily integrate our calculation reports into facility documentation.
Structural steel components, frames, and fabricated mezzanine beams are imported under EU TARIC code 7308 90 59 or 7308 90 98 (Structures and parts of structures of iron or steel). HEDA Shelves provides a comprehensive export package: Commercial Invoice, detailed Packing List per container bundle, Bill of Lading (B/L), and Mill Test Certificates (MTC) according to EN 10204 Type 3.1. Intra-EU reverse charge VAT rules (*přenesená daňová povinnost*) apply upon Czech customs release for registered VAT entities.
Cargo is loaded into 40ft High Cube (40'HQ) containers at our manufacturing base in Guangzhou, optimized for structural beam lengths up to 11.8 meters. Containers ship ocean-freight to major North Sea ports (Hamburg, Bremerhaven, Rotterdam) or the Adriatic route (Port of Koper). From there, direct rail freight (such as Metrans or ČD Cargo) delivers containers to Czech intermodal terminals (Praha-Uhříněves, Česká Třebová, or Ostrava-Paskov) for final truck chassis dispatch directly to your warehouse dock.
Standard indoor warehousing components undergo a multi-step chemical pre-treatment (degreasing, acid pickling, zinc phosphating) followed by automated electrostatic polyester-epoxy hybrid powder coating cured at 200°C, providing a durable 60–80 µm dry film thickness resistant to scratches, hydraulic fluids, and battery acid splashes. For external loading docks, unheated halls, or corrosive chemical environments, hot-dip galvanizing per EN ISO 1461 is available.
Every shipment includes numbered assembly drawings, anchor layout schedules, and step-by-step structural erection guidelines. Components are precision-punched and labeled according to CAD designations. Czech clients typically utilize local assembly mechanical teams (*montážní party*) or request on-site HEDA installation supervisors. Standard 500 m² platforms are mechanically assembled and anchored in 7 to 10 working days without hot-work or welding.
To prepare an initial layout and quotation within 24 hours, our engineering office requires: (1) Warehouse clear height to overhead obstacles/trusses; (2) Building layout showing column grid and fire exit doors; (3) Desired floor load capacity (UDL in kg/m² and specific concentrated point loads); (4) Decking preference (steel grating vs. high-density particle board); and (5) Intended operations below and above (pallet jack circulation, order picking aisles, or office rooms).
