Engineered for high-density storage and manual picking compliance across Switzerland's leading industrial sectors.
Analyzing the strategic demand for high-reliability medium-duty warehousing infrastructure.
Switzerland is internationally recognized as a logistics powerhouse. Anchored by key industrial clusters in Zurich, Basel, Geneva, and the Mittelland region, Swiss businesses operate in a highly complex, premium-grade warehousing ecosystem. Due to Switzerland's unique geographical topology, high land costs, and restrictive construction laws, companies cannot simply build larger footprint warehouses; they must optimize their existing spatial structures. This has driven massive demand for smart, high-density shelving solutions.
Medium warehouse shelves, specifically catering to the 100 to 300 kg weight capacity range, serve as the backbone of manual retrieval operations, assembly-line feeding systems, and spare parts distribution. Unlike heavy-duty pallet racking systems that rely exclusively on forklifts, these systems are custom-engineered for manual material handling, combining stability with accessibility. For Swiss precision watchmaking, medical device fabrication, and pharmaceutical processing, maintaining structural integrity under rigorous daily loads is crucial. Selecting a certified exporter that aligns with local regulations is key to ensuring both operational efficiency and physical safety.
Under the hood of structural safety, material choices, and load distribution testing.
Utilizing high-tensile Q235B cold-rolled structural steel to ensure absolute resistance against buckling, local deformation, and yield stresses under extreme thermal gradients.
Electrostatic thermoset powder coating (60–80 microns thick) or hot-dip galvanization ensures complete resistance to oxidation, humidity, and wear in Swiss cold storage systems.
Engineered with anchor-plate systems and bracing components calculated for high-risk seismic zones (such as Valais and Basel) under European structural design code EN 15512.
A major design factor for Swiss applications is the calculation of the Deflection Limit (L/200). For a beam spanning 2000mm, the maximum acceptable deflection under a full load of 300kg must not exceed 10mm. Overstepping this limit risks structural collapse and poses a danger to operators. Our medium-duty shelving units use double-folded profiles and safety pins to secure the beam to the upright frame. This prevents accidental dislodgement from manual loading mistakes or collisions with mobile carts.
An inside look at our 22,000 m² smart production center and advanced quality control systems.
Founded in 2016, Chengdu CoreStorage Logistics Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has established itself as an industry leader. Our automated production line utilizes CMM Dimensional Testing and stress-testing rigs to ensure every batch matches exact specifications. Backed by 18 R&D engineers, we released 28 new products last year, continuously advancing safety and structural design.
Optimizing supply chain routes from Chengdu to Swiss industrial centers.
Procuring raw steel and custom components from Chinese factories requires structured transit planning. Chengdu CoreStorage works with 650 supply chain partners to coordinate sea, rail, and road freight. The primary rail link, the China-Europe Railway Express (New Silk Road), connects Chengdu directly to hubs in Germany and France, with final delivery to Swiss customs points (Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg or Chiasso) in under 18 days.
For large-scale industrial projects, packing efficiency is critical. We use customized export pallets with high-strength plastic strapping and PE protective film to secure goods. This protects pre-galvanized frame parts and powder-coated beams from dynamic transport forces, marine moisture, and shifting loads, ensuring the materials arrive ready for immediate installation.
Precision store and commercial solutions, optimized for Swiss retail standards.
Designing modern physical racking systems built for tomorrow's digital warehouses.
Optimizing shelf layouts with laser-guided clearance paths and sensor-reflective base coatings to support smooth operations for AGVs and AMRs.
Integrating tag-ready surfaces directly into beam channels, enabling RFID inventory scanners to identify products without requiring line-of-sight visual labeling.
Transitioning production to hydrogen-reduced steel to help Swiss operators meet Scope 3 emissions requirements and corporate sustainability targets.
Ensuring complete alignment with SUVA, SIA, and European EN standards.
In Switzerland, industrial safety regulations are strictly enforced by SUVA (Swiss National Accident Insurance Fund). Operating uncertified shelving configurations poses a major operational and legal risk. Every racking system must clearly display its load rating plates, noting the maximum shelf and bay load capacity in German, French, and Italian.
Additionally, SIA 261 (Actions on Structures) defines the exact seismic loads that must be factored into static calculations, particularly in regions like Valais, Basel, Graubünden, and Central Switzerland. Chengdu CoreStorage works closely with local engineering teams to provide certified calculations and load tables, ensuring easy regulatory approvals for all warehouse projects.
