View SpecificationsHeadquartered in Guangzhou with over two decades of manufacturing leadership, Guangzhou Heda Shelves Co., Ltd. serves warehouse operators, 3PL giants, and industrial EPC contractors across 120+ countries.
Founded in 2001, our veteran structural design teams calculate load dynamics, flexural rigidity, and wind/seismic thresholds tailored to international building codes (RMI, FEM 10.2.02, AS4084).
We provide zero-cost architectural space planning, finite element analysis (FEA), and detailed pallet workflow simulations within 24 hours of receiving site dimensions and pallet dimensions.
Every cold-rolled profile passes through automated chemical pickling, degreasing, and zinc phosphating prior to electrostatic polyester powder curing, guaranteeing exceptional anti-corrosion life.
Live pallet racking—frequently designated as Pallet Flow Racking or Gravity Roller Racking—represents the apex of compact, high-throughput First-In, First-Out (FIFO) material management. Operated purely by gravitational force without ongoing electrical consumption, live pallet racking eliminates inter-rack forklift access aisles, transforming up to 80% of passive warehouse void spaces into active storage density.
The operational core of live racking systems depends on precision slope engineering, typically fabricated at a continuous 3.0% to 3.5% inclination gradient. Pallets placed on the upper induction loading face slide smoothly along multi-roller beds toward the discharge extraction face. In heavy industrial setups where pallets weigh between 500kg and 1,800kg, uncontrolled acceleration creates substantial catastrophic impact risks.
Engineering Imperative: Live racking systems designed by HEDA Shelves integrate automatic centrifugal speed-controller rollers calibrated every 1.2 to 1.5 meters along each lane. These internal braking mechanisms govern descent velocities at a controlled 0.25 to 0.3 meters per second, regardless of pallet weight variations.
At the terminal discharge end, mechanical pallet separation separators isolate the leading pallet from accumulated line pressure behind it. When the forklift operator retrieves the front unit, the secondary trip mechanism smoothly disengages, enabling subsequent pallets to advance forward safely.

Structural reliability begins with hot-rolled structural steel coils (grades Q235B and Q355B), cold-formed into continuous 11-fold and 13-fold omega-upright sections. Upright column punches use automated CNC dies guaranteeing hole pitch tolerances within 0.1mm. As an accredited exporter holding CE Certification (No. 2435-CPR-8605159) and ISO 9001:2015 Management Validation (No. 18624Q00169R0M), HEDA Shelves enforces full traceability across mill certificates, ultrasonic weld inspections, and coating salt-spray resistance tests.
As warehouse real estate leases rise globally and labor constraints reshape fulfillment centers, international procurement directors must factor strategic trends into their material handling investments.
With stringent global food quality legislation (such as FSMA and HACCP), sub-zero cold chain facilities are replacing standard drive-in racks with live gravity flow and shuttle platforms. By automating inventory progression, freezer facilities eliminate forklift cold-exposure hours, lower fuel/battery degradation, and prevent product expiration liabilities.
Global warehouse investments in seismic zones (including Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan, and Western Latin America) now mandate site-specific Eurocode 8 or RMI seismic modeling. Procurement models prioritize heavy-gauge structural baseplates, oversized expansion anchors, and back-to-back cross bracings designed to absorb cyclic horizontal accelerations.
International freight costs prioritize high packaging density. Modular knock-down live pallet racking units designed for 40HQ container optimization allow buyers to import up to 26 metric tons of racking without dead space. Combined with durable eco-friendly powder coatings, total carbon footprint per pallet position drops by over 32% compared to welded designs.
Direct technical answers addressing structural certification, site-specific configurations, sea logistics transit, and installation supervision.
To produce an exact structural engineering drawing and bill of quantities, our engineers require: (1) Pallet footprint dimensions and bottom skid construction (wooden two-way, four-way, or plastic), (2) Maximum gross pallet weight including product payload, (3) Clear building height below overhead sprinklers or truss lights, (4) Daily SKU throughput turnover rates, and (5) Architectural warehouse CAD layout including column positions.
We perform physical sample testing matching your exact pallet dimensions and bottom profiles prior to mass fabrication. Lanes integrate heavy-gauge galvanized steel rollers with precision bearings, paired with internal centrifugal speed-retarder brakes at designated intervals. Furthermore, entry lead-in guides align pallets centrally upon induction to prevent lane binding.
Every structural shipment from HEDA Shelves is accompanied by authentic CE compliance documentation (EN 15512 / EN 15620), ISO 9001:2015 quality control records, raw steel mill material test reports (MTR) confirming chemical and physical yield strengths, and electrostatic powder coating film thickness verification logs.
We provide comprehensive 3D step-by-step CAD installation manuals, piece-marked component labels matching dispatch pack lists, and step-by-step video assembly walkthroughs. For enterprise-scale distributions or complex multi-tier mezzanine platforms, HEDA Shelves deploys experienced structural installation supervisors on-site to direct your local assembly teams.
