Premium direct-from-factory racking configurations optimized for Barcelona industrial centers and local logistics regulations.
Barcelona stands as Spain’s industrial gateway to Europe. With critical nodes like the Zona Franca Industrial Estate, El Prat Logistics Park, and the manufacturing clusters along the Vallès Occidental and Oriental, Catalonia demands world-class structural logistics infrastructure. Industrial operations here require highly optimized vertical layouts to manage premium land rents.
Our heavy-duty storage shelving units are designed to withstand the operational stressors of high-turnover logistics centers. Whether supporting third-party logistics (3PL) near the Port of Barcelona or feeding assembly lines for the automotive industry in Martorell, our structural racking systems provide the strength and versatility demanded by European enterprises.
Additionally, Catalonia's geographical orientation requires structural safety planning. Our technical teams incorporate localized structural calculation models to ensure full compliance with regional Spanish regulations (Código Técnico de la Edificación - CTE) and seismic considerations for Mediterranean industrial zones.
In Spain and the wider EU, industrial storage systems are classified as structural equipment. Regulatory compliance is not optional. All Nanjing Ciho racking systems engineered for the Barcelona market are calculated in strict alignment with FEM 10.2.02 (European Federation of Materials Handling) and UNE-EN 15512 / UNE-EN 15635 guidelines.
Our structures guarantee high-performance parameters under severe load. We specify structural steel profile geometries, high-yield plate thickness, and hot-dip galvanized or electrostatic powder-coated finishes to resist maritime humidity from the Balearic Sea. Every rack structure undergoes FEA (Finite Element Analysis) stress testing before leaving our production floors.
By bypassing local distribution layers and buying direct from our certified manufacturing facility, Spanish procurement officers can ensure structural compliance while reclaiming margin otherwise captured by domestic retail middle-agents.
Engineered variations designed for high-density space conservation, sheet metal, and tooling dies.
Our ISO-certified manufacturing facility operates state-of-the-art production lines, guaranteeing physical dimensional precision and optimal structural execution.

With years of experience in the material handling industry, we are committed to providing efficient, durable, and cost-effective storage solutions for customers worldwide.
Our product range includes selective pallet racks, drive-in racks, cantilever racks, mezzanine systems, longspan shelving, steel platforms, carton flow racks, and customized warehouse storage solutions. Designed for maximum space utilization and operational efficiency, our products are widely used in logistics centers, manufacturing facilities, distribution warehouses, e-commerce fulfillment centers, and retail storage applications.
At Ciho Racks, quality is our top priority. From product design and raw material selection to manufacturing and final inspection, every step is carried out under strict quality control standards to ensure reliability, safety, and long service life. Our experienced engineering team works closely with customers to develop tailored storage solutions that meet specific warehouse requirements.
Driven by innovation, customer satisfaction, and continuous improvement, we have established long-term partnerships with clients across Europe, North America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and many other regions.
Importing steel products into Spain requires a highly structured shipping partner. Our facilities in Nanjing are strategically located close to the major deep-water ports of Shanghai and Ningbo. We regularly coordinate freight routing to the Port of Barcelona (Puerto de Barcelona), handling the complex custom documentations required by Spanish authorities (Agencia Tributaria).
We work with global carriers to provide full container load (FCL) delivery options. Our structural engineering designs optimize the physical layout of beams, frames, and shelves to ensure maximum volumetric utilization of standard 40ft High Cube containers. This spatial optimization directly reduces per-unit shipping tariffs for our Spanish clients.
To assist with EU import regulations, we provide full steel trace certificate documentation, Mill Test Certificates (MTC) conforming to EN 10204 3.1, and packing lists labeled for immediate customs clearance and onward transport to Catalonia warehouses.
The logistics landscape of Southern Europe is transforming rapidly toward automation. E-commerce platforms and automated warehouse logistics (AS/RS) are replacing legacy static structures. High-tolerance storage systems are essential to prevent crane collisions and automated pallet misplacement.
Nanjing Ciho has adapted by manufacturing high-precision structural racking that integrates directly with automatic storage retrievals. With frame tolerances kept under tight millimetric control, our systems support multi-tier shuttle pathways, radio-shuttle integrations, and complex gravity-flow roller tracking systems.
Our ongoing development focus emphasizes green coating technology. Our powder coatings contain zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and conform to EU chemical regulations (REACH), helping your company achieve Net-Zero targets while securing building design certifications such as LEED or BREEAM.

All upright columns and box beams undergo rigorous structural testing. Standard pallet configurations range from 500kg up to 2,000kg per position. Frame selection includes calculation models utilizing a safety factor of 1.5, in complete alignment with European UNE-EN standards.
We source primary structural steel from national high-strength mills. Carbon steel grades such as Q235B and Q355B (comparable to European S235JR and S355JR) are standard. Cold-roll formed elements provide exceptional strength-to-weight ratios to optimize safety and reduce structural steel weight.
Our automatic multi-stage chemical pretreatment line removes surface rust and applies an iron-phosphate base. An electrostatic epoxy-polyester powder coat is then applied and cured at 200°C. Total dry-film thickness ranges between 70µm and 90µm, protecting against humidity in Port warehouses.
