Structural engineering, custom steel fabrication, and direct logistics execution for industrial logistics distribution hubs, automated 3PL facilities, and cold chain architectures worldwide.
Our industrial racking portfolio addresses diverse warehouse topologies, high cubic efficiency criteria, and heavy unit loads. Fabricated from certified Q235B and Q355B cold-rolled structural steel, every system complies with EN 15512, RMI (ANSI MH16.1), and FEM 10.2.02 international load bearing specifications.
Selecting an industrial rack system requires balancing floor space footprint, operational forklift dynamics, stock keeping unit (SKU) picking speeds, and capital expenditure amortization over a 15–25 year asset life cycle.

Supply chain resilience, seismic resilience criteria, and aggressive integration of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are redefining what industrial procurement officers require from Tier-1 storage rack manufacturers.
Procurement officers for multinational distribution networks are systematically eliminating domestic intermediary distributors in favor of engineering-direct manufacturer contracts. By interfacing straight with Chinese production mills, operators achieve a 22% to 35% capital expenditure reduction while securing direct access to FEA (Finite Element Analysis) structural calculation engineers, bespoke hole punch dies (Teardrop, 50mm, 75mm, Omega), and customized electrostatic powder coating formulations.
Static warehouse storage is rapidly retrofitting into semi-automated and robotic execution hubs. Modern procurement contracts now mandate "Automation-Ready" tolerances—specifying beam deflection limits tighter than 1/200th of span (often L/300 or L/400) to host 4-Way Radio Shuttle carriers, AGVs, and automated crane forks. Racking uprights are reinforced with precision guide rails, sensor reflectors, and integrated cable trays to support autonomous throughput.
Warehousing operations across high-humidity coastal zones (such as Southeast Asia, GCC, and Gulf of Mexico ports) as well as sub-zero pharmaceutical cold storage (-25°C to -40°C) demand advanced surface metallurgy. Standard single-coat paints are being replaced by hot-dip galvanization (HDG ASTM A123, 60–80µm zinc thickness) and dual-layer multi-stage pickling, phosphating, and thermo-hardened polyester powder coatings.
Since 2001, Guangzhou Heda Shelves Co., Ltd. has stood as a premier Chinese manufacturer of heavy-duty warehouse storage infrastructure, serving supply chain leaders, distribution integrators, and port hubs across more than 120 countries.
Our Guangzhou production base houses automated continuous roll-forming lines, automated laser cutting tables, and robotic beam welding units, delivering over 30,000 tons of structural steel storage racks every month.
Before fabrication begins, our licensed structural engineers calculate your warehouse clear heights, slab point-load capacities, forklift turning radii, and fire sprinkler clearance to deliver certified CAD schematics and 3D realistic renderings.
Quality is not an afterthought. We hold verifiable international credentials including CE Certificate No. 2435-CPR-8605159, ISO 9001:2015 Certificate No. 18624Q00169R0M, and comprehensive RoHS chemical compliance for eco-sensitive installations.
Our Guangzhou factory location guarantees swift access to Nansha, Huangpu, and Shenzhen container ports. Engineered bundling methods ensure maximum cubic fill of 40HQ containers without racking deformation during sea transit.
Unlike assembly operations that outsource critical processes, HEDA Shelves executes every step within our certified Guangzhou manufacturing plant under strict ISO 9001:2015 quality surveillance.
Certified Baosteel and Shougang Q235B & Q355B coils verified for tensile yield.
High-speed slitting lines trim coil sheets within ±0.2mm tolerance bands.
Continuous CNC punch presses punch 50mm/75mm or teardrop patterns with zero distortion.
Multi-station cold bending presses shape heavy gauge steel into rigid omega uprights.
Continuous rolling mills form step beams, box beams, and interlocking decking panels.
Automated shot-blasting and edge de-burring eliminate mill scale and weld spatter.
Multi-axis robotic arms fuse beam end connectors with deep penetration continuous seams.
An 8-stage immersion pre-treatment bath removes grease and etches rust-inhibiting phosphate crystals.
Electrostatic epoxy-polyester application baked at 200°C for superior impact resilience.
Deflection verification, barcode labeling, and heavy-duty shrink strapped pallet bundling.
From blast freezer storage to automotive component distribution and aggressive chemical zones, our racking frameworks conform to localized fire codes and hygienic handling mandates.
Refrigerated warehouse space incurs high thermal power costs per cubic meter. Our semi-automated Radio Shuttle and Drive-In configurations compress aisle waste, enabling up to 85% volumetric fill at temperatures down to -30°C.
Handling long, awkward, and heavy items like PVC pipes, structural steel tubes, and timber profiles causes forklift bottlenecks in conventional selective pallet racks. Our Heavy-Duty Cantilever systems offer uninterrupted horizontal storage lanes with load capacities reaching 3,000kg per arm level.
Clear, transparent answers addressing structural calculations, international shipping terms, seismic engineering, and OEM customization capabilities.
To provide free CAD layouts and accurate structural pricing, our engineering department needs: (1) Warehouse architectural drawings specifying clear roof height, column grids, and egress doors; (2) Pallet dimensions (W × D × H) including product overhang and maximum gross weight; (3) Forklift specifications including mast lift height and turning radius; and (4) Floor slab thickness and concrete compressive strength (psi or MPa).
We engineer structural frameworks according to local seismic accelerations (Ss and S1 values). For seismic zones, our engineers incorporate enlarged base plates, high-grade mechanical anchors (or chemical resin studs), reinforced heavy-duty horizontal/diagonal column bracing, and box-welded seismic beam connector brackets compliant with RMI and Eurocode 8 criteria.
Standard production lead times range between 15 to 25 days depending on project tonnage and color specification. Operating our factory in Guangzhou provides access to Pearl River Delta ports (Nansha/Shenzhen). Typical ocean shipping transit to Southeast Asia takes 3–8 days, to Middle East ports 14–18 days, to European main ports 25–32 days, and to North American West Coast ports 14–20 days.
Yes. We specialize in custom OEM/ODM production. If you operate an existing installation and need compatible beams or uprights, our tooling facility produces American standard Teardrop, 50mm metric European pitch, 75mm Australian pitch, and custom Omega profiles. Custom RAL color matching is standard across our automated powder lines.
We employ an 8-stage pre-treatment process: hot alkaline degreasing, twin water flushes, acid pickling to eradicate micro-scale rust, zinc phosphating to establish an inert crystalline bonding layer, and final deionized washing. This is followed by an electrostatic thermo-cured epoxy-polyester coating. For harsh outdoor or coastal yards, continuous hot-dip galvanizing is applied.
Every overseas container shipment arrives with barcoded structural bundles, CAD assembly elevation prints, bolt torque schedules, and step-by-step video installation manuals. For large distribution centers and multi-tier mezzanines, we dispatch bilingual on-site installation supervisors to coordinate and certify local assembly teams.
Provide your warehouse floor dimensions, ceiling clearance heights, and pallet configurations. Our senior logistics engineers will return a complete layout design, structural load analysis, and factory-direct quotation within 24 hours.
