Featured racking systems engineered for high-density warehouse environments
The Moscow Metropolitan Region is the largest logistical and distribution hub in Eastern Europe. Driven by the explosive growth of e-commerce platforms like Ozon and Wildberries, alongside major grocery networks like X5 Retail Group and Magnit, the demand for Class A warehousing space has surged. With land prices near the MKAD (Moscow Ring Road) rising rapidly, maximizing floor utilization is no longer optional—it is a critical operational mandate.
Furthermore, Moscow’s geographical location requires robust winter supply chain management. Temperature-controlled warehouses and cold-chain facilities operating down to -30°C face extreme operational costs. Standard selective racking systems leave up to 60% of the warehouse volume as empty aisle space. Drive-in shelving solves this structural inefficiency by eliminating aisles, allowing forklifts to drive directly into the racking bays to deposit or retrieve pallets. This system increases storage density by up to 80% compared to traditional configurations, significantly lowering the energy footprint per cubic meter of cold storage.
1. High-Density Optimization: Eliminates wasted space in high-cost logistics parks like Podolsk, Domodedovo, and Sheremetyevo.
2. Sub-zero Performance: Racking steel and protective coatings must withstand continuous low temperatures without embrittlement.
3. GOST R 55525 Compliance: Mandatory structural safety certifications for Russian fire and industrial safety inspections.
4. Rapid Delivery: Intermodal rail transport routes from Chengdu to Moscow (Vorsino or Bely Rast) ensuring prompt delivery timelines.
Expert-level engineering blueprints for high-capacity LIFO drive-in racking
We source raw structural steel from certified mills (Q235B and Q355B grades), offering high yield strength and ductility. Cold-formed upright frames are designed with custom thickness options (up to 3.0mm) to guarantee structural safety under continuous loads.
Moscow warehouses require calculations based on localized load patterns and floor capacities. Our structural engineers design specialized top-tie bracing, back-tie bracing, and single/double-sided cantilever arms to prevent deflection and structural failure under load.
Our automated spray lines use high-durability epoxy-polyester powder coating cured at 180°C. For deep-freeze environments (-25°C to -30°C), we offer hot-dip galvanized steel components to prevent moisture damage, peeling, and corrosion.
Design Parameter Note: Drive-in racking is built on the LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) principle. It is ideal for storing large batches of identical goods with medium-to-low turnover rates. Standard lane widths are calculated around forklift dimensions, leaving a safety clearance margin of at least 75mm to 100mm on each side of the vehicle body.
How Chengdu CoreStorage Logistics Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. delivers global-standard quality
Founded in 2016, Chengdu CoreStorage Logistics Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has established itself as an industry leader. With a 22,000 m² factory and over 11 years of structural engineering design experience, we serve customers across the Middle East, South America, and Eastern Europe. Our export operations are backed by 6 years of international trade experience, ensuring smooth customs processing and technical support.
Our quality assurance department includes 28 skilled QC inspectors who enforce compliance with ISO 9001 and CE Structural Safety Standards. By utilizing CMM Automated Dimensional & Load Stress Testing, we verify that every vertical column, horizontal rail, and connection bracket meets required safety standards before shipping. Our engineering department, comprised of 18 R&D engineers, developed and released 28 new products last year alone, focusing on high-density automation, smart shuttle-racking integrations, and cold-room structural configurations.
We work with 650 supply chain partners to ensure consistent availability of high-grade raw steel, powder coatings, and fastening components. For the Moscow market, this supply chain integration guarantees stable pricing and short manufacturing lead times. We specialize in serving cold storage operators, wholesale distribution chains, and automotive assembly facilities that require heavy-duty storage configurations.
Logistical Advantage: Based in Chengdu, we utilize the Chengdu-Europe Express Railway. Block trains transport freight directly from Chengdu to logistics terminals in Moscow (such as Vorsino and Bely Rast) within 12 to 15 days, providing a fast and reliable alternative to ocean shipping.
Visual breakdown of our production stages and specialized equipment
Operating commercial racking systems in the Russian Federation requires strict adherence to national safety standards. The primary regulatory standard is GOST R 55525-2017 (Steel Racking Systems: Method of Operation & Structural Requirements). This standard regulates the testing, safety inspections, tolerances, and load testing methods for all commercial installations.
CoreStorage designs, engineers, and manufactures its racking products to align with GOST requirements. We provide documentation including load calculations, certificates of conformity, and installation manuals. This documentation helps local logistics directors secure operational clearances and pass municipal building inspections.
International shipping requires transparent documentation to prevent delays at customs checkpoints. We prepare all necessary trade documents, including commercial invoices, certificates of origin, detailed packaging lists, and technical data sheets.
By leveraging established customs corridors and logistics networks, we offer delivery services directly to project sites within the Moscow region, handling key transport legs from factory to warehouse floor.
