Premium double deep & heavy duty systems optimized for Colombia’s leading manufacturing, logistics and cold storage centers.
Colombia is positioned as the logistical gateway to South America. Benefiting from coastal accessibility across both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, the country has observed rapid expansions in its logistics corridors, spearheaded by major economic zones in Bogotá D.C., Medellín, Cali, and Barranquilla. The integration of Zonas Francas (Free Trade Zones) and the surge in domestic e-commerce have prompted companies to urgently expand their cubic storage footprints without escalating land acquisition costs.
In primary logistical corridors like Fontibón, Tocancipá, and Funza, land costs have appreciated significantly. Traditional selective pallet racking, while offering 100% selectivity, is increasingly recognized as space-inefficient for large-volume FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods), pharmaceutical cold chains, and food & beverage warehouses. This is where Double Deep Pallet Racking steps in—acting as a middle ground between standard selective racking and high-density, low-selectivity drive-in systems.
"By storing pallets two deep in a back-to-back layout, double deep pallet racking reduces the ratio of access aisles to storage space, consolidating warehouse footprints by up to 30% to 40% while preserving an accessible rate of 50% immediate selectivity."
For Colombian operations utilizing specialized reach trucks equipped with pantograph mechanisms or telescopic forks, double deep racking delivers optimal storage density. This technology has become essential for high-throughput cold storage facilities near the ports of Cartagena and Buenaventura, where temperature-controlled space is expensive to operate.
Colombia is situated in a highly active tectonic zone, characterized by the convergence of the Nazca, Caribbean, and South American plates. Industrial structures—including self-supporting racks and heavy-duty storage installations—must rigidly comply with the Reglamento Colombiano de Construcción Sismorresistente (NSR-10), specifically under Title H (Geotechnical studies) and Title F (Structural Steel Design specifications).
At Nanjing Ciho Racks Co., Ltd., we understand that structural failures can compromise supply chain operations and worker safety. Our double deep pallet racking systems engineered for Colombian clients undergo comprehensive finite element analysis (FEA) and dynamic seismic modeling. We configure and supply:
Furthermore, our steel components utilize high-tensile hot-rolled steel coils matching the Q235B and Q345B steel standards, ensuring ductility under stress. Our profiles are roll-formed to close tolerances, ensuring a snug fit for hook-in connector beams secured with reliable steel safety pins.
| Structural Parameter | Standard Engineering Specification | NSR-10 / AISC Compliance Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Steel Yield Strength | Q235B (235 MPa) / Q345B (345 MPa) | ASTM A1011 / ASTM A572 Equivalent |
| Upright Profiles | 80mm, 90mm, 100mm, 120mm Width Options | Optimized for high slenderness ratios |
| Beam Connectors | 3 or 4-Claw Hook-in with Safety Pins | AS4084 / RMI Design Compatibility |
| Seismic Anchoring | Dual anchor points with custom shim plates | Compliant with Title F (NSR-10) anchor requirements |
Combining automated manufacturing with global logistics experience to deliver cost-effective racking systems direct to Colombia.
Nanjing Ciho Racks Co., Ltd. uses a manufacturing system driven by Factory 4.0 principles to improve storage layouts. We run automated manufacturing setups, combining robot welding arms, automated continuous roll-forming lines, and a high-throughput electrostatic powder coating system. This automated control keeps dimensions consistent, welds uniform, and reduces turnaround times.
For industrial buyers in Colombia, importing directly from a Chinese manufacturer offers significant cost advantages. We handle the process from initial AutoCAD/3D design stages to ocean freight container optimization. The components are flat-packed to maximize container load factor, reducing shipping costs per cubic meter to the ports of Cartagena, Barranquilla, or Buenaventura.
