OEM/ODM Pallet Rack Platform Factory & Suppliers

Standard selective pallet racks carrying 1,000 kg to 1,500 kg per pallet level generally require a concrete floor slab with a minimum thickness of 150mm to 200mm, possessing a minimum compressive strength of 3,000 to 4,000 PSI (C20/25 to C25/30 grade). For high-bay installations exceeding 8 meters in height, heavy-duty cantilever systems, or multi-level mezzanine platforms with column point loads exceeding 40 kN, a reinforced concrete slab of 200mm to 250mm (minimum 4,000 to 5,000 PSI) is strongly advised. Our engineering department reviews your soil survey and slab reinforcement data during the design phase to determine correct footplate surface areas and mechanical/chemical anchor embedment depths.

Civil Defense and fire protection agencies across global municipalities (e.g., UAE Civil Defense, Saudi Civil Defense, NFPA 13 in the USA, and European fire codes) mandate clear transverse and longitudinal flue spaces between back-to-back pallet rows (typically 150mm to 300mm) to allow overhead sprinkler spray to penetrate deep into the lower rack levels. Furthermore, wire mesh decking or perforated steel shelves with open surface ratios exceeding 50% are integrated where required. Our engineers produce complete CAD submittal packages highlighting egress aisle widths, emergency fire-hose turning radii, exit signage clearances, and sprinkler drop-down pipe channels to simplify third-party consultant sign-off.

Under international standards (RMI, EN 15512, AS4084), structural beams are engineered with a design deflection limit of no more than $L/200$, where $L$ represents the clear unsupported distance between upright column faces. For example, on a standard 2,700mm beam carrying two 1,000 kg pallets, the maximum downward elastic deflection under full design load must not exceed 13.5mm. Once unloaded, the beam must recover its initial camber with zero permanent plastic deformation. Each beam connector includes a high-shear safety locking pin capable of resisting vertical dislodgement forces up to 5,000 N, preventing accidental beam dislodgement caused by errant forklift mast elevation.

Yes. Racks installed in seismically active regions (such as parts of California, Japan, Chile, New Zealand, or Southern Europe) undergo dynamic equivalent static and response-spectrum analysis according to FEMA 460 and Eurocode 8. We utilize high-yield Q355B alloy steel, increase upright column steel thicknesses (up to 3.0mm or 3.5mm), incorporate heavy-duty baseplates with multiple chemical epoxy anchors, and integrate high-tensile diagonal X-bracing along the spine and transverse axis of the rack bank. This prevents harmonic resonance, structural shear failure, and beam connector pull-out during earthquake tremors.

For indoor dry logistics environments, our standard multi-stage zinc phosphating combined with high-grade electrostatic polyester-epoxy powder coating provides robust, scratch-resistant protection that easily passes standard 500-hour salt spray tests. For high-humidity coastal zones (e.g., Jebel Ali, Jeddah, Miami, Singapore) or corrosive chemical warehouses, we offer hot-dip galvanization (HDG) compliant with ISO 1461, yielding a zinc protective layer of 65 to 85 μm. For refrigerated cold storage facilities down to -30°C, low-temperature modified steel grades (resistant to ductile-to-brittle transition) are matched with specialized cold-flex powder formulations to prevent micro-cracking and rust creep.

Standard OEM/ODM orders of 1 to 5 forty-foot high-cube (40HQ) containers typically ship within 15 to 20 working days following technical drawing sign-off and deposit confirmation. Large-scale distribution projects (20 to 50+ containers) are scheduled with phased progressive manufacturing to align with the client’s on-site installation tempo. We support all international shipping terms (FOB, CIF, CFR, DDP) and ship from Guangzhou, Shenzhen, or Foshan ports directly to all global deep-water destinations (including Jebel Ali, Dammam, Los Angeles, Rotterdam, Sydney, and Durban). Full export documentation (Bill of Lading, Certificate of Origin, Mill Test Certificates, Packing List with itemized bundle numbers) is provided for smooth customs clearance.

Our systems are engineered for straightforward, error-proof boltless assembly. Every project is accompanied by comprehensive 2D CAD assembly schematics, component identification tags, torque setting tables for floor anchor bolts, and step-by-step video installation guides. For international clients employing local labor crews, our project engineers offer real-time remote technical video support. For large-scale multi-tier mezzanines, high-bay AS/RS structures, or complex radio shuttle installations, HEDA Shelves can deploy experienced on-site installation supervisors to oversee alignment tolerances, plum-line verticality checks, and commissioning testing.

A Structural Steel Mezzanine uses wide-flange I-beams, universal columns, and cold-formed C/Z purlins to create expansive, column-free open spans (typically 6m to 10m grid spacing) on the ground floor. It is best suited for ground-floor manufacturing lines, forklift staging, or modular office cubicles, handling floor loadings from 500 kg/m² up to 1,500 kg/m². In contrast, a Rack-Supported Mezzanine integrates pallet rack upright frames as the direct structural foundation for the upper walkways. This delivers exceptional space efficiency for multi-SKU manual pick operations (e.g., e-commerce fulfillment, spare parts, apparel), reducing steel weight and overall investment costs by 25% to 40% compared to heavy structural steel platforms.
