Engineered to support heavy-duty operations exceeding 1000kg per level. Built for cold logistics, heavy manufacturing, and maritime environments.
As the third-busiest container port in Europe, the Port of Hamburg serves as the primary logistical gatekeeper for Northern Germany and the broader Baltic region. Managing tens of millions of metric tons of cargo annually requires highly optimized, space-saving, and load-resilient vertical storage. The core demand for industrial storage in areas like Waltershof, Billbrook, and Altenwerder has transitioned from generic warehousing to specialized high-load structures capable of supporting static loads exceeding 1000kg per shelf level.
Heavy-duty applications in Hamburg are dictated by the regions primary economic drivers: aircraft assembly components (serving the Airbus ecosystem in Finkenwerder), automotive parts distribution, heavy machinery manufacturing, and maritime equipment logistics. Storing heavy components like engine parts, cast iron components, ship spares, and raw metal coils demands systems engineered to handle high point-loads without deflection or structural failure. In these setups, compromising on load capacity risks not just operational disruption, but catastrophic industrial accidents.
Furthermore, local safety regulations enforced by the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV Regel 108-007) dictate strict safety coefficients for racking systems. Every structural element must possess a high safety margin to safeguard worker health and preserve expensive stored assets. Consequently, our systems engineered for the Hamburg market utilize cold-rolled high-strength structural steel profiles coupled with multi-point connector designs to guarantee stability under maximum loading conditions.
To safely sustain a uniformly distributed load (UDL) exceeding 1000kg on a single level, structural engineering must account for multiple factors: beam profile, steel gauge, deflection limits, connector geometry, and upright frame configuration. Our heavy-duty racking uses high-yield structural steel, conforming to EN 10025 standards (typically S355JR or Q355B equivalent), providing the tensile strength necessary to withstand immense vertical pressure.
The primary load-bearing elements are the box beams, which feature a step profile or standard rectangular section. For loads of 1000kg to 2000kg per level, we employ 100mm to 140mm face-width beams with material thicknesses of 1.5mm to 2.0mm. Under loading, beams undergo elastic deformation. The maximum allowable deflection is restricted to L/200 (where L is the span length) or a maximum of 10mm, complying with European standard EN 15512. This ensures no permanent structural deformation occurs over time.
