Engineered structural systems selected for high-density requirements in Johannesburg, Durban, and Cape Town industrial corridors.
Heavy-duty structural framework designed to support load configurations from 1 to 3 tons per tier, featuring cold-rolled high-tensile upright steel.
Engineered for integration with specialized pantograph reach trucks, yielding space savings up to 30% compared to standard selective setups.
Optimized vertical configuration reaching 6+ meters. Ideal for standard industrial clearances in South African light industrial parks.
Balance high storage capacity with rapid retrieval times. Allows two-pallets-deep storage layout from a single operating aisle.
As logistics hubs in the Gauteng Industrial Complex (Johannesburg, Midrand), KwaZulu-Natal Corridor (Durban Port hinterlands), and the Western Cape face unprecedented land cost increases and urban density constraints, warehouse operators must look beyond traditional selective racking layout designs. The strategic implementation of Double Deep Pallet Racking Systems addresses this challenge directly.
By storing pallets four-deep (two per side in a back-to-back configuration), this architecture reduces the required forklift operating aisles by up to 35% compared to selective layouts. This converts unused aisle space into high-density storage capacity, without requiring the complex high-cost automation of shuttle systems.
Nanjing Ciho Racks Co., Ltd. custom designs, manufactures, and exports systems tailored to South African operational realities, aligning structural designs with local environmental and site conditions.
South African storage structures must withstand environmental stresses unique to the region. From the humid, corrosive coastal environments of Durban Port and Cape Town to the seismic mining activities and high altitude of the Witwatersrand (Gauteng), engineering parameters must be precise.

How Double Deep Racking solves distinct supply chain challenges across South Africa's key commercial sectors.
With ongoing load shedding challenges, running refrigeration systems in South Africa is costly. Double Deep systems maximize cold storage volume by reducing open aisle space, lowering energy costs per pallet position by improving thermal mass storage efficiency.
FMCG distribution hubs in Midrand and Durban Port require rapid handling of medium-to-high velocity SKUs. Storing two identical pallets in a double deep setup allows batch processing of order fulfillment, combining high storage density with fast throughput.
For fresh fruit and wine exporters in the Western Cape, bulk packaging materials must be stored efficiently before packing season. Double Deep systems optimize seasonal storage space for raw components, crates, and shipping cartons.

Our Mission: To optimize warehouse space and improve logistics efficiency by providing innovative, safe, and reliable storage solutions for customers around the world.
Every structural upright, box beam, and bracing channel is manufactured in our automated factory under ISO 9001 quality supervision.
Important material handling variables to ensure compatibility with your forklift fleet.
While Double Deep Pallet Racking offers storage density advantages, it is classified as a LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) system. For each channel, the second pallet cannot be accessed until the front pallet is retrieved. This setup is best suited for high-density, batch-oriented SKU configurations.
Forklift Specifications: Standard reach trucks cannot reach the rear pallet position. A specialized double-deep reach truck (equipped with a pantograph scissor extension or telescopic forks) is required. Nanjing Ciho Racks designs these systems in consultation with major forklift OEMs to ensure that beam clearances and bottom profile entry configurations fit your material handling fleet.
