Hello

Assembly and disassembly

We handle the dismantling, rental of lifting equipment, and necessary transport to the new assembly site. We can also supply complementary materials and spare parts.

Maintenance

We perform maintenance on a wide variety of metal shelving systems, ranging from offices and small storage rooms to walk-in freezers and large logistics centers.

Technical inspection of shelving according to EN15635

The European Standard “EN 15635 – Steel static storage systems – Application and maintenance of storage equipment” aims to minimise risks and ensure safer warehouse operation by preventing damage to racking structures.

The process consists of a periodic visual inspection of the racking components (uprights, beams, anchors, etc.), at intervals not exceeding 12 months. The inspection shall be carried out by a qualified professional, who will determine the level of risk and issue a report detailing the damage and anomalies identified and their locations, together with a layout of the inspected racking.

We have the advantage of being able to inspect racking from a wide range of manufacturers, whereas manufacturers generally inspect only their own racking systems.

Mechanical Repair of Pillars

Following our technical inspection, we can avoid the need to replace materials by using our mechanical upright repair service, which employs a mechanical system to restore the upright to its original shape.

Proper maintenance of metal racking is essential to ensure the storage system functions correctly. We recognize that clients are often aware of the need for maintenance but fail to carry it out due to a lack of time or operational resources, such as labor or lifting equipment.

To address this, we offer a solution that eliminates the need to unload the racking or purchase new uprights. Our system applies force using a set of molds to restore the upright to its original shape, provided there are no fractures or tears. On average, an upright can be repaired in 40 to 50 minutes, without the client needing to allocate staff or lifting equipment to the task.

Conventional Pallet Racking

It consists of a system of beams and uprights forming aisles with sufficient space for forklift traffic. It is commonly used for storing palletized loads, as it allows for easy product picking and facilitates the handling of high-turnover inventory.

It is a simple, modular system that can be adapted to warehouses of various sizes; furthermore, the structure is reusable, which streamlines any warehouse reconfiguration.

It is also suitable for storing products with a wide range of SKUs, dimensions, and packaging formats.

Compact Pallet Racking

Also known as a “drive-in” or “drive-through” system, it eliminates warehouse aisles, creating “tunnels” for forklifts to load and unload the racking.

It is suitable for low-turnover products. It is widely used in cold storage facilities, as the compact footprint reduces heat loss and increases storage capacity per square meter. It can operate using either FIFO or LIFO systems.

Dynamic Pallet Racking

If, on the other hand, the goal is to optimize the time spent loading and unloading the racks, roller conveyor models (dynamic racking) are the most suitable choice.

With this model, the forklift does not travel inside the storage block, as there are no aisles. The pallet is inserted at one end, slides along a roller conveyor system, and is retrieved from the opposite end—making it ideal for FIFO systems, especially for perishable products.

Cantilever

This is a specific type of rack designed to store long items, such as bars, metal profiles, pipes, wooden boards, beams, and heavy coils. It is a system widely used in the metalworking and furniture industries, in civil construction, and by other large-scale enterprises.

Pallet shuttle racking system

This system improves upon drive-in and push-back systems by allowing for FIFO or LIFO storage. As a block storage system—meaning forklifts do not operate inside the racking structure—it is a semi-automated system that uses a carrier to receive the pallet and transport it to the last available position.

Picking shelving

Designed for manual handling of light loads, such as boxes. The aisles are intended solely for pedestrian traffic and the stored goods. Aisles may feature flooring and staircases to optimize vertical space.

It can be a suitable option for small warehouses, offices, or even homes.

Mobile Racking System

It is available in at least two versions: one for manual loads and another for pallets. The system consists of shelving units mounted on wheels that slide along rails. The manual load version features a handwheel that allows the units to slide in either direction.

For palletized loads, it is a semi-automated system where the bases can be positioned without any aisles between them.

It offers a major advantage in terms of space optimization, as there is no need for aisles between individual rows of shelving.

Mezzanine/platform

An ideal system for increasing your usable floor space. The mezzanine structure consists of columns and beams that, in addition to supporting manual load storage, can accommodate one or more levels above the shelving units.

The platform—typically constructed using UPN profiles—offers superior sturdiness thanks to its highly reinforced profile design.

Organization and space optimization are fundamental factors in the management of warehouses and logistics centers. To ensure maximum efficiency and safety, choosing the right metal shelving and metal structures for warehouses makes all the difference in operational performance.

Advantages of Metal Shelving for Warehouses

Metal shelving for warehouses are versatile and robust solutions, designed to support heavy loads and facilitate the storage of various types of products. Among the main benefits are:

  • Utilizing vertical space : They allow you to maximize storage capacity without the need to expand the physical space.
  • Durability and strength : Made from high-quality materials, they offer a longer lifespan and can withstand large loads.
  • Ease of assembly and adaptation : Available in different configurations, they can be adjusted to suit warehouse needs.
  • Improved organization and productivity : With an efficient storage system, products become more accessible, reducing handling and picking time.

Types of Metal Shelving for Warehouses

There are various options for metal shelving for warehouses , suitable for different logistical needs:

  • Conventional Pallet Racking : Ideal for storing pallets in an organized manner, providing direct access to each unit.
  • Drive-In and Drive-Through Shelving : Maximize space by eliminating unnecessary aisles, making them ideal for slow-moving products.
  • Cantilever Shelving : Perfect for storing long and bulky materials, such as pipes and metal profiles.
  • Dynamic Shelving : Facilitates the flow of goods and is ideal for high-turnover products.
  • Picking Shelves : Designed to facilitate the quick and efficient separation of products.

Metal Structures for Warehouses: Safety and Efficiency

In addition to shelving, metal structures for warehouses play a crucial role in creating a safe and well-organized space. These structures may include:

  • Metal mezzanines : They allow the creation of new storage spaces without increasing the built area.
  • Logistics platforms : Ideal for facilitating the movement of cargo and goods.
  • Metal coverings and supports : They protect stored products from the elements and increase the durability of the warehouse.
