Explore our heavy-duty industrial racking and retail display systems engineered for global supply chains.
A trusted global leader in structural engineering, raw material innovation, and safety-compliant warehouse storage manufacturing.
Nanjing Ciho Racks Co., Ltd. is a premier, B2B-certified manufacturer and global supplier specializing in heavy-duty warehouse storage systems and smart industrial racking solutions. Leveraging over a decade of deep engineering expertise within the international material handling sector, we are dedicated to developing highly efficient, structural steel platforms and storage dynamics that minimize footprints while maximizing storage volume. Our global footprint covers Europe, North America, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, serving logistical hubs, industrial factories, and large-scale retail distribution centers.
Our expansive product portfolio encompasses advanced selective pallet racks, drive-in systems, heavy cantilever racks, steel platforms, industrial mezzanines, longspan workshop shelving, and carton flow systems. Engineered using certified structural structural steel grades such as Q235B and Q345B, our systems resist heavy static loads, dynamic forklift vibrations, and high seismic actions. From single store display units to automated multi-level shuttle systems, we empower enterprises to transition from legacy storage setups to high-density, automated warehouse models.
At Ciho Racks, quality is not a static measurement; it is the core of our technical process. Every individual batch of steel profiles undergoes rigorous tensile strength, weld integrity, and coating thickness verification tests to conform to standards such as FEM 10.2.02 (European Federation of Materials Handling) and RMI (Rack Manufacturers Institute). Our structural design engineers implement advanced finite element modeling (FEM) to ensure our systems deliver uncompromising reliability under ultimate load states.
Custom structural modeling conforming to international architectural and warehouse safety standards.
Fully automated roll-forming and robotic welding systems ensure micron-level precision across standard and custom orders.
Robust container logistics, custom seaworthy packaging, and comprehensive local field assembly guidance.
Understanding the intersection of automated storage systems, changing logistics routes, and B2B requirements.
As urban commercial land prices escalate globally, modern logistics entities must optimize vertical space. Standard wide-aisle racking systems are giving way to Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) configurations and automated high-rise shuttle racking. Nanjing Ciho designs structural configurations that support massive storage heights exceeding 15 meters while preserving total system stability, utilizing optimized steel column profiles and heavy structural cross-bracing. This enables operators to achieve up to 60% increases in storage density compared to traditional pallet layouts.
Global brands require warehouse hardware built for cyclical longevity and low environmental impact. Our tool storage racks and structural platforms incorporate lead-free, non-toxic epoxy powder coating solutions designed to prevent metal degassing and toxic runoffs. The steel alloy utilizes recycled raw contents with zero compromises on structural strength. Additionally, our highly modular boltless connections allow systems to be dismantled, relocated, and refitted into new layouts, reducing lifetime capital expenditure and carbon footprints.

For industrial structures, raw steel composition dictates the performance safety limits. Nanjing Ciho Racks strictly selects hot-rolled and cold-rolled steel profiles from state-controlled enterprises (e.g., Baosteel, Ansteel). We primarily employ structural steel grades Q235B and Q345B. Q235B offers an optimized yield strength (235 MPa) suitable for standard selective systems and boltless modular racking. Q345B, with a yield strength of 345 MPa, is deployed for heavy-duty racking, high-bay dynamic systems, and structural mezzanine columns requiring structural stability under heavy loads.
Using multi-station progressive roll-forming machines, we produce upright frame profiles with precise pitch punching. Continuous profile styling minimizes residual internal stress, guaranteeing straightness and resistance to buckling.
Our high-precision robotic welding lines apply continuous, clean welds using carbon dioxide shielded arc welding, conforming to AWS D1.1 specifications. This eliminates slag inclusion, porosity, and micro-cracking.
Surfaces undergo pickling, phosphating, and multi-stage washing, followed by the application of premium thermosetting epoxy-polyester powder. Cured at 200°C, the coat thickness ranges between 60 to 80 microns for corrosion resistance.
Nanjing Ciho products undergo structural calculations, testing, and validations using modern software (ANSYS, SAP2000). We design warehouse layouts based on the following international frameworks:
How global industries configure and optimize our storage systems across diverse operating environments.
Automotive manufacturing lines require high-strength, adjustable shelving for holding sub-assemblies, heavy tooling dies, and work-in-progress parts. Our longspan shelving, equipped with heavy-duty steel wire decking or solid metal deck plates, ensures manual pick efficiency while maintaining safety protection near assembly personnel.
With ultra-fast product turnovers, e-commerce fulfillment hubs require carton flow gravity racks and selective pallet racks. Our gravity flow roller shelf systems use inclined skate wheel tracks to achieve automatic FIFO (First-In, First-Out) operations, optimizing stock replenishment and picking speeds.
Public-facing display settings demand durable and aesthetically clean display systems. Our supermarket metal display shelves, gondola units, and four-sided island racks combine structural stability with eco-friendly coatings, allowing retailers to present inventory safely while handling heavy product loads.
Innovating future-proof logistics hardware to align with AI automation, deep carbon reduction, and structural sensor technologies.
As the B2B supply chain transitions into autonomous warehouse environments, tool storage racks and structural pallet systems are adapting from passive steel structures to active components of the IoT warehouse. Nanjing Ciho is investing in structural health monitoring solutions and carbon-neutral production, keeping our global clients ahead of regulatory and operational demands.
Integrated Smart Racking Systems (RFID & Load Sensors): Real-time weight distribution monitoring prevents dangerous overloads or uneven load balancing. We are testing beam profiles integrated with strain-gauge sensors that communicate directly with warehouse management systems (WMS).
Green Steel and Near-Zero Carbon Footprint: To support carbon-neutral procurement goals, we are partnering with steel suppliers utilizing electric arc furnace (EAF) recycling technologies, lowering the embodied carbon in our finished products by up to 35%.
Detailed technical answers to the most common questions asked by B2B procurement managers and logistics designers.
Load capacity is determined using finite element analysis (FEA) modeling under dynamic and static weight distributions, conforming strictly to RMI and FEM specifications. Calculations take into account the yield strength of the steel grade (e.g., Q235B vs. Q345B), the height of the upright frames, beam length, and connection types (3-hook or 4-hook connectors). We provide structural load signs showing maximum pallet weight and bay limits for all installations.
For harsh, humid, or cold storage conditions, we apply hot-dip galvanization (conforming to ISO 1461 standards) or premium polyester powder coating. Hot-dip galvanizing coats the steel with a protective zinc layer (up to 80-100 microns thick), preventing rust even if the metal experiences surface scratches from forklift impacts.
Yes, we provide full CAD and 3D layout engineering services based on your warehouse floor plans, column spacings, forklift turning radiuses, and pallet sizes. Our modular tooling allows us to adjust height profiles, depth specifications, and load beams to match your exact spatial configuration.
For standard profile runs (e.g., classic selective pallet racks), the average manufacturing lead time is 20 to 25 days post down-payment. For complex customized system projects, including mezzanine systems or automated shuttle tracks, production spans 30 to 45 days. We handle export documentation, sea-worthy bundling, and cargo loading out of Nanjing or Shanghai ports.
