Engineered dynamic and static storage components optimized for quick SKU retrieval, high product visibility, and extreme durability.
Modern distribution networks, mega-fulfillment centers, and dynamic supply chains operate on a single metric: throughput speed. Static, slow-access racking layouts create substantial bottleneck points that limit order fulfillment rates. Custom OEM Quick Access Racking addresses this structural deficit by marrying high load capacity with optimized picking configurations (such as gravity-flow, double-deep, and multi-tier mezzanines).
By integrating advanced mechanics such as gravity roller channels, heavy-duty adjustable connections, and boltless structural designs, warehouses can achieve a 35% to 50% improvement in picking efficiency. Implementing the correct storage solution directly impacts supply chain health by mitigating labor requirements, optimizing cubic storage footprints, and safeguarding inventory from handling damage.
Our structural racking is computed via advanced Finite Element Method (FEM 10.2.02) calculations to withstand seismic stresses, accidental forklift collisions, and continuous loading pressure profiles.

Why Tier-1 logistics integrators rely on China-based advanced production hubs for critical logistics installations.
China commands over 50% of the world's raw steel production capacity. For racking systems, this translates directly to immediate access to premium grade Q235B and Q355B (equivalent to ASTM A36 and ASTM A572 Grade 50) hot-rolled and cold-rolled steel coils. Industrial operations benefit from consistent yield strengths, structural stability, and predictability under extreme loads. Nanjing Ciho Racks negotiates mill-direct purchasing, which eliminates intermediary margins and ensures that raw materials are certified to international steel grade requirements.
The production of high-density storage platforms requires extensive machinery resources. Automated, continuous roll-forming mills produce structural columns with highly complex profiles (e.g., teardrop, omega, and hex-shaped uprights) without inducing internal material stress. When combined with robot welding arms for beam connectors, the results are incredibly uniform welds that eliminate cold joints. This precision ensures that components are highly inter-compatible, which reduces on-site erection time during installation phases.
Located within the Nanjing-Shanghai economic belt, Ciho Racks leverages deep-water inland port channels as well as the deep-sea container ports of Shanghai and Ningbo. This localized network minimizes inland freight costs and ensures regular, scheduled vessel departures. We also offer expert customs documentation management, customized seaworthy bundle packaging, and container optimization techniques to maximize container space utilization while preventing transport abrasions.
Ensuring that warehouse infrastructure conforms to safety guidelines and local construction permits.
Safety in industrial racking is a strict legal requirement. In the United States, structural rack designs must align with the Rack Manufacturers Institute (RMI) Specification MH16.1. In Europe, the EN 15512 and EN 15620 codes govern cold-formed steel shelving design and tolerances. For Oceania, the revised AS4084:2012 / AS4084.1:2023 standards dictate specific load testing procedures.
Ciho Racks works with certified third-party testing labs to perform rigorous mechanical load and shear testing. We supply detailed static calculations, load plaque templates, and technical drawings to assist local engineers in securing structural occupancy permits.
Our standard designs incorporate heavy-duty steel baseplates, safety pins to prevent beam dislodgement, and column guards to deflect forklift impacts.
Adapting physical structures to support smart logistics, AGVs, and Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS).
Unlike manual forklift access, AGVs and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) require millimetric horizontal and vertical tolerances. Automated systems require structural racking to be built with minimal deflection to avoid scanner misalignment and retrieval errors.
Integrating Carton Flow and Pallet Flow modules is critical for First-In, First-Out (FIFO) retrieval. Heavy-duty flow racks use gravity wheels, brake rollers, and separator plates to ensure controlled movement of heavy pallets without manual input.
Global enterprises demand zero-VOC coatings. Our automated powder lines use eco-friendly thermoplastic powders that produce no hazardous runoff. This process creates a dense protective layer that resists impacts, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations.
Analyzing how diverse industries configure physical footprint setups to achieve optimal cost-per-pallet values.
Cold storage operations face high utility costs. Maximizing storage density is essential to minimize refrigeration expenses. High-density structures like Drive-In racking, Double Deep racks, and Pallet Flow systems are optimal choices. For sub-zero rooms, steel components must be fabricated from low-temperature-grade structural steels that do not become brittle under freezing conditions.
Micro-fulfillment facilities require rapid handling of multiple distinct SKUs. Multi-tier mezzanine platforms paired with boltless rivet lock shelving allow facilities to maximize vertical warehouse space. This setup enables picking staff to access multiple levels simultaneously via staircases or integrated goods lifts.
Manufacturing plants deal with heavy, irregularly shaped items. Heavy-duty adjustable racking platforms with wire decking or steel shelves support concentrated loads up to 500kg per tier. This design allows forklifts to store and retrieve heavy equipment components safely.
Highly detailed technical answers covering raw material standards, load calculation procedures, international delivery, and installation safety.
We use certified structural carbon steel, primarily Q235B and Q355B. Q355B steel features high yield strength (minimum yield limit of 355 MPa) and is used for tall structures and heavy loading profiles. Q235B steel (minimum yield limit of 235 MPa) is the standard for light to medium-duty applications and platforms. Both grades are supplied with Mill Test Certificates to ensure traceable chemical compositions.
Load capacity is calculated using structural finite element analysis software in accordance with RMI and EN 15512 specifications. Calculations take into account column height, unsupported span distance, dynamic load factors from forklifts, and regional seismic loads. Standard beam deflection limits are kept within L/200 of the span to ensure stability.
We offer complete OEM and ODM customization. This includes custom steel thicknesses (ranging from 1.5mm to 3.0mm), custom upright profiles, specific paint finishes (RAL color matching), and specialized deck components like wire mesh, solid steel panels, or wood panels. We also engineer custom rack accessories, including seismic baseplates, aisle protectors, and drop-in row spacers.
For standard products (such as pallet racking and longspan shelving), the manufacturing cycle takes 15 to 20 days after drawing sign-off and receipt of deposit. For complex, multi-level mezzanines or customized systems, the lead time ranges from 25 to 35 days, depending on engineering complexity and total tonnage.
All upright frames and beams are tightly bundled using high-strength plastic strapping and wrapped in protective plastic film. Wooden blocks and cardboard corners are placed at key structural contact points to prevent steel-on-steel friction. For small parts like safety pins, bolts, and baseplates, we package them in heavy-duty wooden crates or reinforced cardboard boxes.
Yes, our racking systems are designed to integrate with automated equipment. We manufacture high-tolerance racking suitable for stacker cranes, shuttle-based systems, and AGV fleets. By using precise welding and roll-forming processes, we maintain straightness and alignment tolerances within the strict limits required for automated warehouse operations.
