CE Certified Warehouse Racking Equipment Factories & Factory

Unlike simple household shelving, structural warehouse racking falls under harmonized industrial equipment benchmarks across Europe and international trading jurisdictions. A valid CE Certification (such as Heda's CE Certificate No. 2435-CPR-8605159) reflects compliance with European Standards EN 15512 (Principles for structural design of adjustable pallet racking), EN 15620 (Tolerances, deformations and clearances), EN 15629 (Specification of storage equipment), and EN 15635 (Application and maintenance of storage equipment).

CE marking confirms that our production facility operates under an audited Factory Production Control (FPC) system, that steel grades are traceably documented via EN 10204 3.1 Mill Test Certificates, and that connector weldments and upright hole punching patterns withstand standardized structural shear, bending, and torsion testing.

The Australian Standard AS 4084 (Steel storage racking) and the European Standard EN 15512 share common engineering methodologies regarding limit state design, section property calculations, and safety factor margins. For projects across Australia, New Zealand, and Pacific Island nations, our engineering department provides comprehensive calculation packages detailing section modulus, upright moment capacity, and beam connection test data.

For New Zealand installations where seismic resilience is mandatory, calculations are adjusted to site-specific spectral acceleration factors in accordance with NZS 1170.5. We engineer augmented frame bracings, heavy-duty floor base plates, oversized chemical anchors, and double-row column spacers to satisfy the sign-off requirements of local chartered professional engineers (CPEng).

Q235B and Q355B are carbon structural steels widely specified in high-grade roll-formed logistics structures:

• Q235B Steel: Offers a minimum yield strength of 235 MPa and a tensile strength of 370–500 MPa. It delivers excellent ductility and cold-bending performance, making it the primary material for standard beam profiles, bracing members, and light-to-medium upright columns.

• Q355B Steel (High Tensile): Has a higher minimum yield point of 355 MPa and tensile strength of 470–630 MPa. It is deployed in heavily loaded upright frames exceeding 8-12 meters clear height, cantilever central columns, and high-density radio shuttle rails where deflection limits are strictly governed under maximum structural payloads.

Cross-border customs agencies—notably the Australian Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) and the New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI)—enforce strict biosecurity protocols against invasive pests. Uncertified timber pallets or dunnage can result in immediate container quarantine, port re-exportation, or expensive onshore heat treatment.

To eliminate border delays, Heda Shelves packs structural components directly into customized steel stillages, heavy-duty steel cradles, or uses timber treated and visibly stamped strictly in compliance with ISPM-15 regulations. All export shipments are accompanied by detailed packing manifests, clean bills of lading, and compliant certificates of origin.

Our engineering team can formulate an optimized layout drawing and load capacity table within 24–48 hours once provided with the following parameters:

1. Architectural building drawing (DWG or clear PDF) indicating interior length, width, column grid layouts, fire exits, and dock door locations.
2. Clear building height to the lowest obstruction (underside of steel trusses, HVAC ducting, or suspended fire sprinkler mains).
3. Pallet parameters: Pallet dimensions (e.g., 1200x1000mm, 1200x800mm, or 1165x1165mm Australian standard), maximum pallet height including merchandise, and maximum gross weight per pallet.
4. Material handling equipment: Forklift model, minimum turning aisle width requirement (AST), and maximum mast lift height.
5. Ambient temperature profile (ambient logistics vs. refrigerated/freezer cold chain storage).

In-house electrostatic powder coating utilizes a closed-loop multi-stage chemical pretreatment line consisting of degreasing, ultrasonic water rinsing, acid rust-pickling, and continuous zinc phosphating. This chemically etches the bare cold-rolled steel surface, creating an optimal anchor profile for powder adhesion.

High-voltage electrostatic guns subsequently apply thermoset polyester powder evenly to a calibrated thickness of 60 to 90 microns. After passing through a 200°C baking tunnel, the polymer chains cross-link to form an exceptionally tough, chip-resistant finish that resists pallet scraping, humidity, and mild chemical contact far better than manual air-spray enamels.

Modern warehouse fire safety (governed by NFPA 13 and EN standards) mandates strict adherence to longitudinal and transverse flue spaces between pallet loads. In back-to-back selective racks, a minimum 75mm to 150mm longitudinal flue space is required so ceiling-level ESFR (Early Suppression Fast Response) sprinklers can penetrate downward through the rack structure during a localized fire.

Our engineering layouts automatically account for structural row spacers, back-to-back pallet overhang clearances, and vertical flue spaces between upright columns, ensuring effortless approval by regional building certifiers and commercial property insurers.

Yes. We welcome third-party inspection firms (such as SGS, BV, TÜV, or client-appointed independent surveyors) to conduct comprehensive pre-shipment inspections at our Guangzhou manufacturing facility. Testing protocols typically evaluate dimensional cross-sections, dry film coating thickness (DFT), cross-hatch paint adhesion, weld seam penetration, and random loading tests on assembled beam-column connectors.

Detailed in-house inspection reports, photographic container loading manifests, and steel mill test certificates are provided with every dispatched production order.
