Explore our flagship heavy-duty industrial racking configurations engineered for structural safety, volumetric utilization, and logistical efficiency.
Modern supply chains are defined by physical footprint constraints and rising square-footage overheads. For distribution centers, cold rooms, archives, and heavy-duty manufacturing environments, typical static shelving systems represent a structural inefficiency. Static racking preserves permanent structural aisles, which frequently results in up to 60% of floor space being allocated to forklift passages rather than physical product storage.
Intelligent Mobile Shelving breaks this trade-off by converting static corridors into a single dynamic, selectable aisle. By mounting heavy-duty shelving structures onto rolling chassis moved by electric gearmotors, mechanical drive units, or smart PLC systems, operators can double their storage capacity within the same footprint. As a leading manufacturer in China, Nanjing Ciho Racks Co., Ltd. integrates advanced structural engineering with robotic drive technology to supply mobile storage systems that maximize volumetric efficiency while maintaining total load-bearing safety.
Nanjing Ciho Racks Co., Ltd. is an established manufacturer specializing in industrial warehouse storage systems and heavy-duty structural racking. We provide high-durability, cost-optimized systems for cold-chain networks, logistics centers, pharmaceutical warehouses, and automated manufacturing floors globally.
Our comprehensive system portfolio spans selective pallet racks, VNA racking, cantilever configurations, mezzanine structures, flow racks, and custom mobile carriages. Under strict quality control policies, we supervise every detail from metallurgy analysis to final paint cure cycles, ensuring our installations maintain structural integrity under full duty loads.
Our mission is clear: To optimize global warehouse footprints and boost material flow rates through safe, robust, and cost-efficient storage architectures.
Inside our advanced manufacturing plant in Nanjing, where high-grade structural steel is converted into precision-engineered racking components using robotic lines and rigorous testing protocols.
Integrating mechanical structural engineering with digital control systems is central to the design of high-density mobile shelving systems. Our technology roadmap focuses on three main design categories: manual-assist mechanical drives, automated electrical carriages, and smart PLC-integrated networks.
Designed for commercial archives, office files, and light industrial components. High-reduction geared handwheels enable operators to move rows up to 10 tons with minimal physical effort.
Designed for heavy-duty industrial pallets. Carriages are powered by synchronized AC/DC gearmotors on embedded floor tracks, allowing moving loads of up to 30 tons per bay.
Features PLC control cabinets, touch screens, and RFID interfaces. Connects directly to WMS (Warehouse Management Systems) to automate picking processes and optimize path routing.

Different industries require specialized storage architectures. Our mobile racking and shelving systems are customized to perform under diverse environmental conditions and inventory rotation models.
Cold storage space is expensive to operate. Standard pallet racking leaves up to half the volume empty for aisle access. Our electric mobile racking operates reliably down to -30°C, and compacting the space reduces refrigeration volume needs by up to 40%, cutting energy consumption and operational costs.
Strict cleanroom hygiene policies restrict dust collection and require easy washdowns. We offer stainless steel or anti-microbial epoxy finishes, along with perforated shelf plates that match class-100 cleanroom laminar flow profiles.
Industrial tooling dies require durable racks that resist high impact and localized point loads. Our heavy-duty mobile frames feature dual-flange guide wheels and reinforced columns designed for high-capacity die rack assemblies.
E-commerce logistics rely on speed and picking accuracy. By integrating automated mobile shelf movement with picking systems, we help distribution hubs increase picking throughput and reduce operator travel times.
For procurement managers evaluating Chinese manufacturers, selecting a supplier requires reviewing more than just ex-works prices. To secure long-term reliability and safety, standard evaluation matrices should examine the following variables:
Installing heavy-duty industrial shelving requires compliance with structural safety standards and regional building codes. Nanjing Ciho Racks Co., Ltd. supports projects through each stage of execution:
Our structural engineers use finite element analysis (FEA) to verify rack design compliance with FEMA 460, RMI, and EN 15512 codes, ensuring safety under regional seismic loads.
Mobile systems depend on precise floor tracks. We provide exact levelling guidelines and laser-aligned anchoring methods to ensure smooth carriage travel and prevent motor strain.
Our teams inspect safety features, including photo-eye beams, carriage interlocks, overload shutoffs, and emergency stop circuits, before final system hand-off.
