Send Inquiry NowThe logistics landscape of the Russian Federation is undergoing a profound structural transformation. Driven by the rapid growth of domestic e-commerce platforms such as Wildberries and Ozon, alongside the reconfiguration of global trade corridors towards Eastern Russia and Asia-Pacific routes, the demand for Class-A and Class-B warehousing space has reached historic peaks. In metropolitan hubs like Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Novosibirsk, and Yekaterinburg, warehouse space optimization is no longer just a metric of efficiency—it is a critical factor for operational survival.
In response to this demand, Attic Shelving Platforms (commonly referred to as multi-tier mezzanine floor racking systems) have emerged as the premier structural layout for optimizing vertical warehouse height. Rather than expanding building footprints—which incurs massive construction, heating, and administrative costs—attic shelves allow operators to double or triple their usable floor area by utilizing the upper vertical space of the warehouse.
Warehousing in regions like Siberia, the Urals, and Northern Russia involves operating environments that regularly experience temperatures dropping to -30°C or lower. Steel components subjected to these sub-zero conditions are prone to low-temperature embrittlement, which can result in catastrophic structural failure if the raw material steel grades and surface treatments are not properly selected.
To mitigate this risk, attic shelves destined for the Russian market must be manufactured using high-tensile, refined steel structures—such as Q355B (equivalent to S355JR or ASTM A572 Grade 50) and Q235B. These steel grades are certified for low-temperature impact toughness, ensuring that structural frames remain ductile and elastic under full loads in unheated winter distribution centers. Furthermore, condensation caused by temperature shifts between heated staging bays and cold storage modules requires advanced, electrostatic powder-coated finishes that resist micro-corrosion over long operational lifecycles.
Exporting racking systems to Russia requires strict adherence to local structural standards, primarily GOST R 55525-2017 (Steel Racking: General Technical Specifications for Operation and Installation). Structural engineers must calculate static and dynamic load distributions to prevent local buckling, frame deflection, and collapse under seismic conditions.

At Chengdu CoreStorage, our design methodology integrates high-performance finite element analysis (FEA) to simulate load stress distribution. This modeling ensures that structural members (upright frames, beams, and shelf panels) are sized precisely to maintain stability. The upright column profiles are cold-rolled into specialized geometric sections featuring multiple stiffening ribs, which maximize the radius of gyration and minimize material weight without sacrificing load-bearing capacity.
A state-of-the-art Chinese manufacturing hub linking directly to Russian logistics centers through the China-Europe Railway Network.
Chengdu CoreStorage Logistics Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. was founded in 2016. Spanning a comprehensive factory area of 22,000 m², the company generates an annual export revenue of $15,000,000. We bring 6 years of global trade expertise alongside 11 years of specialized industrial rack manufacturing experience. Our main markets are focused on the Middle East, South America, and Eastern Europe (with specialized emphasis on Russia's logistics corridor). We actively collaborate with 650 supply chain partners to serve diverse client groups, including cold storage operators, wholesale distribution chains, and automotive assembly facilities.
Every stage of production is subjected to stringent quality verification, ensuring our racking systems meet high durability standards.
Racking installations must be tailored to their specific localized environment. In Russia, logistics layouts fall into three main operational profiles:
In major fulfillment parks near Moscow (e.g., Podolsk, Klimovsk, Domodedovo), high-density mezzanine floor layouts with integrated multi-tier catwalks are standard. These systems optimize the storage of high-SKU inventory for manual pickers, using light-duty wire mesh shelves, reticulated panels, and integrated trash chutes to speed up order fulfillment.
Industrial hubs located near the Ural Mountains require high-capacity, heavy-duty racking systems. These designs integrate solid steel decking floor plates and heavy roll-formed frames, with load limits exceeding 1000 kg/m² to safely store bulky components, castings, and heavy spare parts.
Food supply hubs in Novosibirsk rely heavily on energy-efficient cold storage. Attic shelves configured for cold-chain facilities must feature open-grid steel profiles (mesh decking) to maintain uniform cold airflow. Proper air circulation helps prevent ice accumulation, lowering cooling utility costs and maintaining the freshness of stored goods.
Our manufacturing facility in Chengdu is strategically positioned near the starting point of the China-Europe Railway Express (Rong'ou). This location offers significant logistics advantages for exporters servicing the Russian market.
