A pallet rack bay is the core foundational modular cell of warehouse storage. Far from being a static metal assembly, an engineered bay represents an indeterminate structural framework governed by moment-resisting connections, soil-structure interactions, and dynamic forklift impacts. Our CE-certified rack systems are modeled under European Standard EN 15512 (Steel static storage systems — Specification of beam-to-column connector performance) and ANSI MH16.1 (RMI standard), ensuring both ultimate limit states (ULS) and serviceability limit states (SLS) are strictly verified.
Each upright frame profile is precision cold-rolled from certified Q235B or Q355B structural steel coils. We employ multiple return bends along the column flanges, creating a complex cross-section that maximizes the radius of gyration ($r$) and critical elastic buckling loads while keeping the steel tare weight optimized for international freight transport to Santos, Paranaguá, or Rio de Janeiro.
Procuring pallet rack systems for installation in Brazil requires compliance with local safety standards, primarily ABNT NBR 15524 (Sistemas de armazenagem — Estruturas de aço para armazenagem). While central and coastal Brazil are traditionally considered low-to-moderate seismic hazard zones, dynamic loading caused by reach trucks, horizontal forklift push-and-pull vectors, and slab settlement must be engineered into every bay calculation.
Our engineering division cross-checks global calculations with local slab design criteria. We account for Brazilian concrete compressive strengths (commonly $f_{ck} \ge 25\text{ to }30\text{ MPa}$), calculating concrete cone breakout and shear capacities according to ACI 318 and ETAG 001 standards. Every baseplate is laser-cut with oversized anchor patterns, allowing site engineers in São Paulo or Curitiba to install chemical capsule or heavy mechanical anchor bolts with full confidence.

Standard European (1200x800mm) or North American GMA pallets (48x40in) differ considerably from the Padrão PBR pallet (1000mm × 1200mm) widely mandated across Brazilian FMCG, pharmaceutical, and retail supply chains. Installing standard rack depths often results in dangerous pallet overhang, incorrect deck support, or point load concentration.
Our factory manufactures custom bay depths precisely engineered for PBR units: typically 1,000mm to 1,100mm frame depths with clear beam spans of 2,300mm (for 2 PBR pallets per level) or 3,400mm (for 3 PBR pallets per level). This eliminates excessive beam deflection, facilitates seamless insertion by standard Brazilian counterbalance and reach truck fleets, and maintains NFPA flue space requirements for in-rack fire sprinkler systems.

How progressive Brazilian operators are transforming static distribution bays into dynamic, data-driven automated fulfillment engines.
The Brazilian warehouse real estate sector has entered an unprecedented modernization phase. Driven by intense e-commerce penetration and soaring land costs near primary consumer capitals (São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte), supply chain operators are transitioning from standard 8-meter clear heights to vertical architectures exceeding 14 to 18 meters.
With warehouse space commanding premium per-square-meter rental rates, VNA (Very Narrow Aisle) systems and automated rack-clad structures (AS/RS) are experiencing rapid uptake. Our CE-certified high-bay rack systems deliver tight manufacturing deflection tolerances (span/200 under full operational load), crucial for optical guided reach trucks and automated stacker cranes.
Brazil's position as an agricultural powerhouse has sparked intense investment in automated cold storage facilities. Because refrigeration constitutes up to 70% of an operational cold store's operating budget, compact pallet shuttle bays that achieve 85% cube utilization are swiftly replacing legacy selective racking in protein and fruit distribution hubs.
Occupational health and safety guidelines (specifically NR-11 — Transporte, movimentação, armazenagem e manuseio de materiais) have driven Brazilian logistics operators to demand bolt-on structural column protectors, seismic aisle bracing, and independent engineering load plaques for every installed rack bay.
Nearly 70 years of engineered excellence, state-of-the-art continuous roll-forming lines, and dedicated international project support.
Every structural bay is fabricated in audited factories operating under ISO 9001:2015. Certified compliance with CE marking norms and ANSI MH16.1 RMI standards.
Multi-million-dollar automated electrostatic powder coating lines provide 80-120 micron uniform cured finish, resisting corrosion in high-humidity tropical warehouse environments.
Our dedicated engineering group generates complete site-specific finite element calculation reports, seismic anchor embedment models, and detailed AutoCAD / BIM layouts.
Expert export bundling, nested profile packaging, and anti-abrasion wrapping ensure steel components arrive from the factory to Brazilian ports with zero transit damage.
Clear, direct answers regarding Brazilian customs, ABNT compatibility, container freight, and installation safety standards.
The standard Brazilian PBR pallet measures 1000mm × 1200mm. Standard European 1100mm deep frames can cause excessive overhang or misalignment if not matched precisely. We manufacture dedicated 1000mm and 1050mm frame depths paired with 2300mm (2-pallet) or 3400mm (3-pallet) clear beam spans. This guarantees a safe 50mm overhang front and back while maintaining full compliance with ABNT NBR 15524 loading criteria.
We supply a complete export package tailored for Brazilian customs clearance: Commercial Invoice, Detailed Packing List with verified NCM/HS code classifications (typically under 7308.90), Certificate of Origin, Mill Test Certificates (MTC) proving steel grades (Q235B/Q355B), and official CE Certification documents. We coordinate directly with your despachante aduaneiro (customs broker) to ensure clean clearance at Santos, Itajaí, or Paranaguá.
Yes. Our in-house engineering team provides complete structural calculation memorandums detailing vertical dead/live loads, horizontal frame sway, beam deflection ratios ($L/200$), and baseplate reaction forces. This technical data allows your local Brazilian civil or structural engineer to seamlessly issue the required Anotação de Responsabilidade Técnica (ART) through the regional CREA authority.
Warehouses in coastal zones like Santos, Rio de Janeiro, or Salvador experience aggressive marine humidity. Our components undergo an automated 5-stage pre-treatment wash (degreasing, phosphating, and deionized rinsing) followed by thermosetting polyester epoxy powder coating cured at 200°C. For outdoor or extremely humid facilities, we also offer hot-dip galvanized uprights and beams compliant with ASTM A123.
Yes. We engineer engineered bolt-on rack repair assemblies and column replacement kits. When a lower leg suffers forklift impact, specialized hydraulic lifting jacks relieve the dead load, enabling technicians to splice in an engineered heavy-duty replacement insert without requiring the entire aisle to be decommissioned.
Standard production runs for customized pallet rack bays range from 20 to 30 days depending on total tonnage. Direct container vessel shipping to primary Brazilian sea terminals (Port of Santos or Port of Paranaguá) typically takes between 32 and 40 days transit time. We pack every container using custom timber dunnage and heavy strapping to maximize container cube utilization and avoid cargo shifting.
