Engineered for cold storage, bulk distribution, and manufacturing centers across Kazakhstan. These drive-in and drive-thru pallet racking units offer high floor utilization rates by minimizing traffic aisles.
As the primary node of the "Middle Corridor" (Trans-Caspian International Transport Route) and the Belt and Road Initiative, Kazakhstan is undergoing a historic infrastructure expansion. Key industrial cities like Almaty, Nur-Sultan (Astana), Shymkent, and Aktobe are experiencing a surge in Class A warehousing development. High land acquisition costs, coupled with extreme temperature fluctuations (from -40°C in winter to +40°C in summer), mandate storage systems that optimize both building volume and thermal efficiency.
Drive-In & Drive-Thru Racking Systems provide the ultimate balance for these conditions. By eliminating forklift transit lanes between racks, they increase storage density by up to 75% compared to standard selective racking. This high density is especially vital for the region's rapidly growing cold chain and food distribution centers, where climate-controlled volume is at a premium.
Designing structures for Kazakhstan requires adherence to specific structural dynamics, especially in regions with high seismic ratings (e.g., Almaty zone 9 rating). Our designs are fully calculated to withstand dynamic horizontal shear forces. We employ finite element analysis (FEA) to confirm structure reliability under static and dynamic loading variables.
| Racking Component | Technical Specification Details | Seismic Resistance Adaptation |
|---|---|---|
| Steel Grade | High-tensile Q235B, Q355B (similar to ASTM A572 Grade 50) | Optimal yield-to-tensile ratio prevents sudden brittle structural failure. |
| Upright Profiles | 80mm to 140mm wide, cold-rolled, 1.8mm - 3.0mm thickness | Heavy-duty boxed frames with reinforced bracing connections. |
| Arm Connections | Tapered hook locks with secure safety pins | Maintains rigid frame integrity against longitudinal sway. |
| Pallet Support Rails | Zinc-galvanized or painted formed C-channels | Wider guide edges to accommodate shifting pallet positions. |
| Seismic Anchoring | Expanded heavy-duty base plates, double anchors | Secured to concrete slab to transfer kinetic energy. |
| Compliance Codes | GOST R 55525-2017, FEM 10.2.02, RMI Standards | Certified for Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) customs codes. |
*Note: All specifications are custom-calculated by our engineering division for each localized project site in Kazakhstan, ensuring compliance with both national standards (SNiP RK) and international structural protocols.
Beyond standard layouts, our product lines address unique structural storage requirements—ranging from high-capacity adjustable industrial units to specialized cantilever systems for raw metal stock and industrial piping.
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.
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.
For our clients in Kazakhstan, our proximity to cross-border logistics hubs facilitates transport options. Whether routing by block train through Khorgos Gateway to Almaty, or using truck transport directly from our factory to Dostyk/Urumqi routes, we provide integrated customs processing, transparent tracking, and structured delivery schedules.
Our structural R&D department features 28 senior engineers, allowing us to build bespoke custom fabrications tailored to local site dimensions. In the last fiscal year alone, our R&D division introduced more than 120 structural revisions and components designed to increase loading capacities and longevity.
Additionally, our logistics division coordinates delivery, matching transport modes to the project schedule. Cargo transit includes customized protective packing to ensure protective coatings arrive undamaged despite multi-modal handling through inland rail systems.
Our quality control 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.

Understanding storage flows is essential before commissioning a high-density racking installation. Standard Drive-In designs operate on a Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) configuration, featuring a single access point for forklift entry. This layout suits SKU-standardized storage, bulk cargo reserves, and items without strict expiration profiles.
For operations requiring inventory rotation, a Drive-Thru (FIFO - First-In, First-Out) racking layout is recommended. Forklifts load stock from one side and retrieve it from the opposite face. While this requires a secondary access aisle, it enables rotation of food, beverage, and chemical inventories.
Proper configuration prevents warehouse collision issues and dynamic instability. We review four structural values during our engineering phase:
Review our complete range of certified racking systems, configured for cold storage, chemical processing, and agricultural distribution centers across Kazakhstan.
Exporting industrial equipment to Kazakhstan requires compliance with local structural standards. Industrial racking installations must hold Eurasian Conformity (EAC) clearance certificates and meet the mechanical requirements outlined in GOST 55525-2017 standards.
Additionally, Almaty and regional zones feature distinct earthquake loading profiles. Standard selective frames cannot safely support high-density configurations in these active areas. Our structural calculations use regional ground movement coefficients to determine safety indexes for base plates, anchor assemblies, upright thicknesses, and cross-bracing profiles.
