As a leading industrial manufacturer of warehouse racking solutions, Shenzhen Heda Warehouse Equipment Co., Ltd. delivers high-engineered Cantilever Racking Systems specifically optimized for the unique requirements of the Norwegian industrial market. Norway's heavy manufacturing, maritime shipping, offshore supply chains, and extensive timber processing hubs require storage options that can handle long, bulky, and heavy materials with structural safety and operational ease.
Norway's economic activities demand heavy-duty warehousing systems that differ significantly from standard European distribution centers. The country’s industrial base, deeply rooted in offshore petroleum, maritime, subsea technologies, aquaculture, and sustainable forestry, involves handling long, high-mass inventory components. Typical warehouse materials in regions like Oslo, Bergen, and Stavanger include subsea piping, marine drilling equipment, structural aluminum profiles, and raw structural wood products.
Traditional pallet racking is insufficient for these configurations. Storing these long profiles requires cantilever racking systems that lack obstructive front upright columns. This design ensures uninterrupted horizontal access, allowing large forklifts and side-loaders to load and retrieve steel sections or lumber packs safely. Given Norway's strict HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) protocols (HMS in Norwegian), racking systems must be engineered to prevent overloading, collapse, or structural degradation under extreme conditions.
Due to the humid coastal climate in Norwegian shipping ports, hot-dip galvanized finishes and robust powder coatings are essential to combat marine salinity.
Every structural upright, arm, and brace configuration must comply with the unified EN standards for structural analysis, load tolerances, and design margins.
For outdoor storage yards in Trøndelag or Nordland, structural racking calculations must account for local snow accumulation and high-velocity wind loads.
Established in 2014, Shenzhen Heda Warehouse Equipment Co., Ltd. is a premier manufacturer specializing in heavy-duty warehouse racking and industrial storage solutions. Spanning a modern manufacturing facility of 35,000 m², our enterprise integrates R&D, design, production, and international marketing to serve diverse storage needs worldwide. With 12 years of industry experience and 8 years of dedicated export expertise, we deliver high-caliber storage systems that generate over $28 million in annual export revenue.
At Heda, quality control and engineering innovation drive our core operations. Our robust QC department comprises 45 skilled inspectors utilizing rigorous testing methods, including raw material tensile testing, automated weld flaw detection, layer load-bearing stress analysis, and salt spray surface corrosion testing. Supported by a professional R&D team of 28 senior structural engineers, we maintain strong full-customization capabilities (OEM/ODM)—offering tailored rack dimensions, load capacities, surface coatings, and layout designs. Driven by continuous innovation, we launched over 120 new dynamic storage products and component upgrades last year.
Operating with a strong direct-factory and international trade background, we have built a resilient ecosystem supported by over 800 supply chain partners. Our products are exported to major global markets, including North America, Western Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. We proudly serve a diverse clientele ranging from third-party logistics (3PL) providers and large distribution centers to industrial manufacturers and wholesale equipment distributors.
Our plant utilizes automated production lines, heavy-duty rolling machines, and precision welding equipment. Below is our manufacturing workflow and QA testing apparatus.
Exporting structural racking systems to Norway requires strict adherence to localized guidelines and EU harmonized regulations. Under standard EN 15512 (Steel static storage systems – Adjustable pallet racking – Principles for structural design) and NS-EN 15635 (Steel static storage systems - Application and maintenance of storage equipment), structural systems must have load safety plaques written in Norwegian, detailing safe working load limits, uniform loading expectations, and maintenance schedules.
Norway is also known for seismic zones along its western coast (Bergen and Stavanger). While not globally active, local Building Codes (TEK 17) require mechanical systems to consider local wind shear and structural calculations for wind and floor anchoring. Heda provides complete calculations, raw structural certificate verification (Mill Test Certificates for Q235B or Q355B steel), and localized engineering support to simplify building approvals from local municipality offices (Plan- og bygningsetaten).

Purchasing directly from specialized manufacturers in China, like Heda, offers significant cost and scale benefits for Norwegian distributors and end-user enterprises compared to sourcing from European trading entities:
Cantilever racking systems are essential for organizing heavy materials, streamlining warehouse layouts, and improving safety in diverse settings:
Used to organize heavy drill collars, casings, subsea connectors, and hydraulic piping. We offer robust hot-dip galvanized cantilever racks with end-stops to secure heavy, rolling cylindrical steel items.
For timber wholesalers and manufacturers. Multi-tier cantilever frames keep kiln-dried structural timber and panels dry, clean, and organized, facilitating direct crane or side-loader handling.
Perfect for sorting copper tubing, steel beams, and extruded aluminum profiles. The open design allows staff to retrieve different profiles and dimensions quickly, supporting efficient order picking.
The industrial storage industry is undergoing technical developments aimed at maximizing horizontal space and improving safety. A major trend is the integration of cantilever racking structures with AS/RS (Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems). By using automated conveyor cranes or side-loading automated guided vehicles (AGVs), warehouses can store heavy timber or steel profiles in high-bay systems without manual forklift handling, reducing accidents and product damage.
Another major trend is the demand for environmentally sustainable supply chains, which is highly valued in the Nordic region. Norwegian clients expect manufacturers to source steel from carbon-efficient plants and use eco-friendly powder finishes. Additionally, mobile cantilever systems, where racking rows are mounted on motorized floor-guided steel tracks, are growing in popularity. These configurations open and close aisles as needed, doubling storage density within the same warehouse footprint.
Single-sided cantilever racks are designed to fit flush against warehouse walls, offering front-only accessibility. Double-sided racking structures feature a central H-frame column base that allows items to be loaded onto arms on both sides. This setup maximizes floor space usage when placed in open aisles.
We design, weld, and test our racking systems to comply with European safety codes. This process includes providing steel chemical analysis reports, load-carrying capacity plaques, mechanical calculations for floor anchors, and optional hot-dip galvanized finishes for marine applications.
For coastal warehouses in cities like Bergen or Tromsø, where salinity and moisture levels are high, we recommend a hot-dip galvanized (HDG) finish. HDG provides a thick zinc alloy layer that protects steel components from rust, outlasting standard indoor powder coatings.
Custom manufacturing usually takes 20 to 30 days, depending on project complexity. Shipping from our Shenzhen facility to Oslo port takes about 35 to 45 days. We coordinate transit and documentation to ensure smooth port customs clearance.
