Engineered for compliance with EN standards, optimized for Dutch automated distribution centers and 3PL warehousing.
The Netherlands serves as the undisputed logistical beating heart of Europe. Driven by the Port of Rotterdam, Schiphol Airport, and a highly sophisticated inland transportation infrastructure, the country coordinates the flow of millions of tons of retail, fashion, and industrial goods daily. For the modern apparel sector—ranging from global fast-fashion brands to high-street boutique operations in Amsterdam, Utrecht, and Rotterdam—efficient supply chain execution is dependent on highly dynamic, space-optimized warehousing. Structural systems, such as Garment on Hanger (GOH) racking, multi-tier industrial mezzanine platforms, and automated retail storage, form the core structural framework of these facilities.
In the Netherlands, warehousing space commands a premium. The growth of omni-channel e-commerce models has prompted third-party logistics (3PL) companies to shift away from simple horizontal storage layouts toward dense vertical cubic space configurations. This transition requires heavy-duty steel shelving capable of safely bearing variable loads while aligning with European safety guidelines. Our heavy-duty pallet racking systems and modular steel structural floors address these space constraints, delivering high-density warehousing solutions that optimize operational efficiency across major Dutch logistics regions like Waalwijk, Tilburg, and Venlo.
The global retail landscape requires rapid inventory rotation and highly flexible logistics models. Traditional static shelving is increasingly giving way to hybrid warehousing infrastructures that combine high-load pallet storage with dynamic, automated retrieval configurations. In the garment and apparel sector, where seasonal SKU fluctuations are extreme, storage systems must support rapid pick rates and high-capacity loading. Our industrial cantilever shelving and adjustable boltless metal racks are designed to accommodate these operational profiles, allowing Dutch facility managers to adjust shelf heights without relying on specialized tooling.
By using cold-rolled steel profiles with high yield strengths (specifically Q235B and Q355B grades), we ensure that our storage structures resist structural fatigue under continuous loading. In automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), structural precision is essential; even small structural deviations can disrupt sensor-guided machinery. Our manufacturing processes enforce strict tolerances across all dimensions, ensuring that our systems integrate cleanly with modern logistics automation.
Deploying industrial racking in the Netherlands requires strict compliance with European structural codes and local safety regulations. Specifically, all racking systems must adhere to the European standards EN 15512 (Steel static storage systems – Adjustable pallet racking systems – Principles for structural design) and EN 15635 (Application and maintenance of storage equipment). Under the Dutch Building Decree (Bouwbesluit), industrial structures are subject to rigorous safety audits to protect personnel and ensure structural stability during seismic events or accidental forklift collisions.
Our engineering design team uses Finite Element Method (FEM) software to model load stresses and structural behavior. This simulation verifies the load-bearing limits of upright frames and beams under static and dynamic forces. Our manufacturing processes include several critical compliance measures:
We source cold-rolled steel with high yield strength, ensuring stable structural platforms under heavy weight profiles.
Fully compliant with EN 15512 and EN 15635 standards, ready to pass Dutch health and safety structural audits.
Designed to be configured around your existing layouts, with adjustable levels and variable beam lengths.
Ningbo Kelida Shelf Co., Ltd. is a manufacturer specializing in industrial warehouse racking and heavy-duty storage shelving solutions. Established in 2014, our manufacturing facility spans 28,000 square meters. Backed by 12 years of industry experience and 8 years of international trade expertise, Kelida has grown into a global supplier, achieving an annual export revenue of over $18 million.
Quality control is maintained at every stage of our operations. Supported by a quality assurance team of 22 QC specialists, we implement rigorous inspection procedures—including raw material tensile testing, automated weld inspection, dynamic load capacity verification, and salt-spray corrosion testing—to verify that every rack meets safety standards.
Driven by product innovation, our R&D team of 15 structural engineers released 35 new storage designs last year. We offer customization options, including tailored load capacities, dynamic warehouse layouts, custom dimensions, and corrosion-resistant powder coatings. Our supply chain network collaborates with over 650 qualified raw material and component partners, supporting efficient production cycles and stable pricing structures.
Heavy-duty structures engineered for distribution centers and modern retail environments.
Modern retail distribution is evolving towards automated handling and modular expansion. Space constraints and labor shortages in Western Europe, particularly in Dutch distribution corridors, have led to increased adoption of semi-automated and automated warehousing solutions. Our R&D roadmap focuses on engineering racking structures that integrate with mobile shuttles and AS/RS cranes. This configuration requires minimizing tolerances to ensure smooth, precise alignment during automated storage and retrieval cycles.
Furthermore, sustainability continues to be a central priority for our corporate and industrial clients. Many European operations evaluate their suppliers based on BREEAM and LEED green building parameters. In response, we have optimized our surface coating processes to minimize environmental impact. By using eco-friendly, volatile organic compound (VOC)-free polyester powder coatings, we reduce emissions during manufacturing while maintaining high chemical and scratch resistance. This surface protection maintains structural integrity over long operational lifespans, supporting sustainable warehousing practices.
