Engineered for maximum footprint efficiency and strict safety performance under Southern European storage environments.
Optimized for Aspropyrgos logistics parks with flexible height adjustment and quick pallet accessibility.
High-strength double-deep configurations tailored for heavy industrial components and FMCG hubs.
Maximum vertical space utilization up to 18 meters, compatible with automated wire-guided systems.
Heavy-duty construction complying with seismic load expectations for Southern Europe regions.
Driven by the strategic expansion of the Piraeus Port (one of the largest Mediterranean container ports) and massive capital investments in third-party logistics (3PL) zones like Aspropyrgos, Oinofyta, and the Sindos Industrial Area in Thessaloniki, Greece has emerged as a premium hub connecting Asia to Eastern and Central Europe.
However, Greek logistics providers face a dual challenge: rising industrial real estate costs per square meter and strict seismic building codes. Traditional wide-aisle warehousing is no longer economically viable for modern imports, exports, and cold-chain distribution. Industry players are aggressively transitioning to VNA (Very Narrow Aisle) Racking Systems.
By compressing aisle widths down to 1.5 - 1.8 meters, VNA racking allows Greek warehouses to recover up to 50% of wasted aisle space while scaling vertically. This structural efficiency is critical for modern logistics hubs handling heavy shipping containers, pharmaceutical imports, and retail distribution chains across the Hellenic region.
Nanjing Ciho Racks Co., Ltd. is a leading manufacturer specializing in heavy-duty warehouse storage racking systems, serving modern industrial networks worldwide. For the Greek market, we offer a specialized engineering approach: integrating structural integrity with local geological reality.
Greece sits on a complex tectonic zone, making seismic design (Eurocode 8 / EN 15512 standards) non-negotiable for racking structures above 8 meters. At Ciho Racks, our engineering team utilizes finite element analysis (FEA) to calculate soil interaction, dynamic seismic responses, and node connections. We configure customized heavy upright frames, robust diagonal bracing systems, and floor-level anchor plates to ensure structural safety even under high-magnitude seismic events.
From individual retail platforms to macro industrial distributions, we deliver storage architectures that reduce overhead, ensure quick material flow, and guarantee operational safety under all regulatory and tectonic conditions.
Maximize your cubic capacity with specialized narrow aisle systems engineered to withstand regional structural demands.
Designed for high-speed SKU sorting and 100% immediate individual pallet access.
Highly cost-effective structural steel framing designed for local agricultural exports.
Tailored frame designs to accommodate heavy dynamic loads and specialized ground guides.
Integrated rail-guided structures matching three-way turret and articulated material handling trucks.
Leveraging state-of-the-art production capacity to deliver reliable, certified steel structures at optimized pricing.
We source high-grade Q235B and Q355B steel from China's leading mills, offering exceptional yield strength and ductility necessary for seismic mitigation in Greece.
All VNA structures are computed, manufactured, and inspected in compliance with EN 15512, FEM 10.2.02, and Eurocode 8 structural standards.
Direct sourcing from our integrated Nanjing facility slashes local distribution markups. Our large-scale raw material inventory acts as a hedge against global steel price volatility.
Every beam, upright, and brace is processed through precision-controlled automated lines to ensure mechanical consistency.
To operate safely within aisles as narrow as 1.5 meters, VNA forklifts or turret trucks require steering assistance. We design and manufacture comprehensive track guiding options:
Whether you deploy manned turret trucks or fully automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), our VNA systems integrate with leading international forklift brands (such as Jungheinrich, Linde, Toyota, and Still) to guarantee frictionless navigation and load cycles.
We do not sell off-the-shelf shelving. Our structural layouts are engineered based on specific inputs:
Custom-engineered racking layouts adapted to regional business environments, cargo dynamics, and regulatory guidelines.
Highly active in Athens and Boeotia districts, pharmaceutical storage demands dust-free environments and strict batch tracking. VNA systems optimize vertical climate-controlled spaces and support selective FIFO extraction.
Refrigerated warehouse space is expensive to operate. Transitioning to a VNA configuration within deep-freeze zones down to -30°C saves structural volumes, reducing energy consumption per pallet stored.
Faced with rapid SKU expansion in Aspropyrgos hubs, VNA allows integration of lower-level manual order picking with higher-level bulk replenishment storage.
A comprehensive portfolio of heavy-duty, selective, and automated very narrow aisle pallet racks.
Specially designed to maximize cubic storage volume up to 90% of structural capacity.
Cost-effective structural components combining traditional pallet ease with narrow path gains.
Innovative thin-profile, high-grade structural alloys designed for high-density stacker environments.
Sturdy frames engineered to carry heavy raw materials safely in demanding configurations.
Direct factory export systems packaged efficiently for hassle-free sea transport to Piraeus.
Designed with structural safety factors compliant with complex spatial warehouse limits.
Automated crane and AGV integration options for high-throughput intelligent centers.
Optimized structural profiles configured using high-precision robotic stamping and automated lines.
