Our heavy-duty steel shelving and pallet racking lines are structural solutions designed to balance high storage density, total SKU accessibility, and the rigorous dynamic forces typical of Latin America's Pacific Rim distribution nodes.
100% immediate pallet selectivity for fast-moving consumer items. Manufactured with high-yield cold-formed steel and boltless beam locks designed for quick height adjustments.
Engineered for spare parts, heavy mechanical components, and hardware operations. Rigid upright construction ensures dependable performance under constant forklift loading cycles.
Maximizes volumetric capacity across refrigerated facilities. Shuttles navigate deep channels automatically, dramatically cutting lift truck energy draw and transit travel inside cold vaults.
Heavy-duty solid steel pan configurations engineered to bear irregular, unpalletized equipment, molds, machine tools, and bulk materials safely without deflection.
High-capacity decking platforms built for multi-tiered bin sorting, hardware pick bays, and dense industrial tote staging. Handles high concentrated static loads per bay level.
Portable, nestable frame racking allowing agile distribution centers to adapt layout profiles to seasonal agriculture, vintage wine production, or export shipping surges.
Open waterfall mesh design increases water flow penetration from overhead NFPA sprinkler lines and improves bay visibility for safer lift truck operations.
Designed for rapid manual assembly in fast-paced retail stockrooms and e-commerce picking zones. Reconfigurable 50mm-pitch shelf levels require no specialized bolting tools.
Operating a manufacturing hub, bulk depot, or logistics distribution center across Chile requires addressing a unique convergence of operational factors rarely seen in other markets. Stretching over 4,300 kilometers through South America's subduction zone, Chilean industrial facilities must comply with rigorous civil-structural standards governed by NCh2369.Of2003 (Seismic Design of Industrial Structures and Facilities) and NCh433 (Seismic Design of Buildings). When global corporations build out facilities in San Bernardo, Pudahuel, Antofagasta, or Talcahuano, their engineering teams face structural engineering challenges that standard European or North American roll-formed catalogs cannot meet without site-specific structural verification.
Our engineered systems bridge this gap by bringing nearly seven decades of heavy-duty industrial storage manufacturing into alignment with the specific performance criteria demanded by Chilean structural consultants. By utilizing high-yield hot-rolled structural channels alongside certified roll-formed sections, each installation is engineered to provide the required ductility, rotational stiffness, and anchor-embedment calculations essential for safe, long-term operation.
Industrial warehousing across Chile is sharply delineated by geography, climate, and supply-chain specializations. Our product configurations are engineered to serve each distinct commercial sector:
Centers in Pudahuel, San Bernardo, and Quilicura rely on multi-tier teardrop selective racks paired with wire-mesh decks to provide rapid SKU picking for major retail chains and direct-to-consumer fulfillment.
Demanding conditions in Calama and Mejillones demand structural channel steel racking with solid steel decks capable of sustaining heavy slurry pumps, rock drill components, and concentrated mechanical spare assemblies.
Maritime cross-dock and port-adjacent facilities require heavy-capacity drive-in and radio shuttle storage systems that optimize pallet densities for outbound container freight, fresh fruit, and packaged products.
From Puerto Montt to Biobío, automated radio shuttle racks and galvanized drive-thru structures withstand sub-zero cold-storage vaults handling high-value salmon, dairy, and seasonal agricultural produce.
Driven by e-commerce adoption and high land costs across Greater Santiago, Chilean logistics networks are upgrading to automated, vertical-density storage formats.
With warehouse footprint costs rising steadily across Santiago's prime industrial rings, logistics operators are transitioning away from wide-aisle forklift layouts toward deep-lane radio shuttle systems that eliminate interior aisles, multiplying cubic storage capacity while reducing refrigeration energy loss.
Chilean civil engineers and municipal building inspectors increasingly demand rigorous certification of post-installed mechanical and chemical anchors. Modern projects calculate embedment depths against concrete slab flexure and cracking under dynamic horizontal earthquake shockwaves.
Modern distribution facilities are implementing hybrid designs: utilizing impact-resistant structural steel channel frames at high-traffic aisle bottom tiers to absorb forklift impacts, combined with roll-formed upper tiers to balance deadweight, lower seismic mass, and control project costs.
Combining nearly 70 years of material handling innovation with modern manufacturing facilities, we deliver structural racking solutions engineered to verified RMI design criteria.
All load-bearing upright frames, horizontal beams, and safety locking mechanisms are fabricated in full compliance with current Rack Manufacturers Institute standards, ensuring verifiable load ratings and reliable safety factors.
Our experienced engineering team evaluates site-specific soil classifications, spectral acceleration variables, and slab anchoring embedment depths to design reliable storage layouts for seismically active regions.
Multi-million-dollar automated electrostatic powder coating lines apply a uniform, impact-resistant, cured finish that stands up to heavy forklift use, ambient warehouse humidity, and demanding cold-chain temperatures.
From initial DWG/BIM space-planning drawings and freight coordination to anchor pull-testing reviews and on-site engineering consultations, we provide a single point of accountability for your project team.
Essential guidance for warehouse managers, facility directors, and procurement teams planning storage installations in Chile.
Unlike standard static installations, racks installed in Chile must be calculated to withstand significant ground accelerations. In practice, this requires heavier upright column profiles, thicker structural baseplates (often 10mm to 16mm or greater), heavier-gauge diagonal bracing, and oversized anchor bolts engineered to resist dynamic uplift and shear forces without cracking the concrete slab.
Roll-formed teardrop racking is cold-rolled from steel coil, offering cost-effective versatility and rapid, toolless beam adjustment ideal for general FMCG and retail warehouses. Structural steel racking is hot-rolled from structural steel channels and bolted together, delivering superior impact resistance for demanding mining spares, heavy tool storage, and busy drive-in layouts.
Yes. Our rack frame depths and beam spans are custom-configured to accommodate standard Latin American wooden pallets, European EUR-pallets (800 x 1200 mm), and heavier chemical/industrial four-way skids (1200 x 1200 mm), ensuring proper beam overhang and stable weight distribution.
To verify anchor bolt capacity and seismic stability, our engineering team requires: (1) Concrete slab thickness and compressive strength (e.g., H-25, H-30, or 3000-4000 PSI), (2) Subgrade soil classification at the project site, (3) Pallet dimensions and maximum gross weights, (4) Top-tier lift height and clear building ceiling dimensions, and (5) Lift truck mast profiles and turning radiuses.
In many cases, yes. By utilizing engineered bolt-on structural rack repair kits, damaged bottom upright sections can be restored to full structural load-bearing capacity without completely dismantling the upper levels, reducing facility downtime while preserving structural safety margins.
