Discover our primary medium-duty storage products custom-engineered to handle load ranges from 100kg up to 500kg per layer, specifically tailored for the high-density demand of Barcelona's logistics parks.
As the primary logistics gateway to Southern Europe, the Barcelona metropolitan area, including key industrial zones like Zona Franca, El Prat de Llobregat, Vallès Oriental, and Baix Llobregat, is experiencing a massive transformation. Driven by the growth of cross-border e-commerce, pharmaceutical distribution hubs, and smart manufacturing initiatives, local warehouse space has become premium real estate.
This space limitation requires companies to maximize vertical volume without sacrificing accessibility. While heavy-duty pallet racking is suitable for bulk pallet storage, the diverse SKU profiles of modern retail, automotive parts, and pharmaceutical components demand highly adaptable medium duty racking systems. These structures serve as the backbone for manual picking zones, integrated mezzanine installations, and multi-tier archive environments.
Maximizes floor footprint by extending storage shelves vertically. Modular components adapt to irregular room profiles typical in historic industrial zones around Catalonia.
Designed for fast and accurate manual picking, ideal for multi-SKU operations such as automotive spares, pharmaceuticals, and online retail fulfillment hubs.
Built and engineered to strictly align with UNE-EN standards and Eurocode 3 parameters, ensuring load resistance against seismic forces in the Iberian region.
In global sourcing, purchasing agents look beyond raw steel weight. They prioritize structural adaptability, total cost of ownership (TCO), and system lifespan. For medium-duty applications, we deploy cold-rolled, high-tensile steel profiles with adjustable pitch steps (typically 50mm or 75mm). This allows rapid reconfiguration of layers as inventory profiles change.
Our racking designs utilize intelligent load distribution mechanisms. Box beams with double-claw connectors lock securely into upright columns, eliminating structural deflection and minimizing the risk of dislodgement during forklift movements or manual picking processes. In environments handling delicate products, such as electronic components, we offer custom shelf infills: steel panels, wire mesh decks for fire-code compliance, or composite boards.
Our manufacturing partner, Dongguan Kimsuk Shelves Co., Ltd. (established in 2015), operates as an industry-accredited enterprise with extensive direct international export experience. The company’s processes are built around reliability and precision engineering, supported by a supply network of over 850 verified material partners.
From the receipt of raw steel coils (certified Q235B grade) to the final epoxy powder curing oven, each step of the fabrication process undergoes strict testing. Below is an overview of the technical processes carried out in our modern production facility.
Explore our range of medium and semi-heavy duty racking systems. Each model is engineered for rapid assembly, structural stability, and compatibility with international logistics workflows.
In Europe, warehouse installations must comply with strict safety regulations. Barcelona's local building codes enforce structural requirements for load capacity, safety factors, and fire protection. Our engineering practices align with key international standards to ensure safety and compliance:
Additionally, the proximity of Barcelona's industrial parks to the sea introduces atmospheric humidity that can accelerate corrosion. To prevent rust, our production line uses an electrostatic epoxy-polyester powder coating system. The steel undergoes a multi-stage pre-treatment, including zinc phosphate cleaning, before the powder is applied and cured in a 200°C oven. This creates a hard, impact-resistant barrier that protects against rust, minor impacts, and contact with cleaning chemicals.
For installations in the eastern Pyrenees region and Catalonia, we construct tailored cross-bracing structural systems that prevent lateral drift during seismic activity.
Each upright column is anchored with dual anchor holes to optimize force transmission to the warehouse concrete floor slab.
We test our beams to guarantee that vertical deflection under full load does not exceed L/200, minimizing strain on connection clips.
The logistics sector is shifting toward automated warehouse management systems (WMS) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). Standard static shelves are adapting to support smart logistics practices. At Kimsuk, our R&D team is working to integrate technology directly into our storage structures:
