Racking & Shelving Specialists — Hamriyah Free Zone, Sharjah · Serving the UAE & GCC
Custom-fabricated from high-tensile cold-rolled steel (SS400 / Q235B / Q355B equivalent) with electrostatic anti-corrosive epoxy powder coatings. Precision-designed to withstand high tropical humidity, maximum volumetric loads, and seismic safety requirements across Vietnam's Northern and Southern logistics corridors.
As Vietnam accelerates its position as Southeast Asia's premier manufacturing powerhouse under the "China+1" diversification wave, warehousing needs have shifted radically from low-bay manual sheds to sophisticated high-bay, automated, and climate-resilient heavy-duty racking architectures.
Industrial park rents in Bac Ninh, Hai Phong, Binh Duong, and Long An have climbed by over 30-45% in recent quarters. Warehouses can no longer afford wide, inefficient floor stacking or low-density layouts.
Global electronics manufacturers, semiconductor foundries, and Tier-1 automotive component makers require cleanroom-compatible, anti-static, and defect-free racking systems.
Agricultural exports, seafood processing, and modern cold-chain 3PL logistics across Long An and Can Tho are demanding specialized drive-in and mobile racking systems.
Deploying heavy-duty racking in Vietnam requires engineering tailored to extreme humidity, monsoonal flood risks, soft alluvial soils, and regional seismic classifications. We eliminate structural risk before installation begins.
Relative humidity in Vietnam frequently exceeds 85-90%, creating aggressive oxidation conditions for untreated carbon steel. We deploy a multi-stage pre-treatment and thermal epoxy powder barrier.
Warehouses situated in Dong Nai, Long An, and coastal Hai Phong frequently operate on soft marine clay slabs susceptible to micro-settling under high dynamic loads.
Coastal logistics parks in Central and Northern Vietnam must factor in high wind loads transferred to warehouse envelopes and regional seismic zones.

Fully compliant with Vietnam’s strict fire code regulations (Decree 136/2020/ND-CP). Designed with wire mesh decking options and transversal flue spaces for unobstructed sprinkler penetration.
Essential guidance addressing technical specifications, import tariffs, fire compliance, and floor slab engineering for plant managers and supply chain directors procuring racking systems for Vietnam.
Industrial warehouse racking classified under HS Code 7308.90 (Structures and parts of structures of iron or steel) typically benefits from preferential tariff treatments. Under the ASEAN-China Free Trade Agreement (ACFTA), eligible manufacturers provide a Form E Certificate of Origin, reducing the import duty to 0% (subject to active bilateral customs trade schedules), requiring only the standard 8%-10% Value Added Tax (VAT / GTGT). Our direct export documentation team prepares full sets of commercial invoices, packing lists, Mill Test Certificates (MTC), and Form E to ensure seamless customs clearance through Cat Lai, Hai Phong, or Da Nang ports.
Before finalizing frame configurations, a core drilling and slab compression test is required. Standard warehouse slabs in modern Vietnamese industrial zones (such as VSIP or Amata) are typically designed for 30 kN/m² to 50 kN/m² uniformly distributed loads (UDL) with a slab thickness of 200mm-250mm (reinforced with double-layer steel mesh). Our engineering department computes the exact upright column point-load (concentrated load at the baseplate). If your slab is soft or thin, we engineer enlarged footprint load-distribution baseplates (e.g., 200x200x12mm or 250x250x16mm) to disperse downward vector pressures below concrete compressive limits.
Vietnam has enforced strict Fire Prevention and Fighting (PCCC) requirements under Decree 136 and QCVN 06:2022/BXD. Racking systems exceeding specific heights must maintain clear longitudinal and transverse flue spaces (typically 150mm - 200mm between double-entry racks) to allow in-rack sprinkler systems to douse pallets uniformly. Additionally, solid steel shelves must often be substituted with galvanized wire mesh decking or perforated panels to achieve at least 50% water penetration transparency. Our CAD team coordinates rack designs with your local fire approval consultants to guarantee smooth PCCC acceptance.
Yes. While European pallets (1200x800mm) and Asian standard pallets (1200x1000mm or 1100x1100mm) are standard, many local suppliers in Vietnam still use non-standard wooden pallets with varying bottom-runner patterns. We engineer beam depths (typically 1000mm depth for a 1200mm deep pallet to allow a 100mm overhang front and back) and supply cross-pallet support bars or heavy-duty wire mesh decking. This ensures that damaged, irregular, or undersized pallets cannot slip through the load beams during retrieval.
Standard production runs for a 1,000 to 5,000 pallet-position facility range between 15 to 25 business days from final technical sign-off of CAD layouts. Shipping transit time by sea from major Chinese manufacturing terminals to Hai Phong Port (Northern Vietnam) is typically 3 to 5 days, and to Cat Lai / HCMC Port (Southern Vietnam) is approximately 5 to 7 days. This allows turnkey delivery and on-site staging significantly faster than European or American sourcing, helping foreign-invested factories meet urgent factory commissioning deadlines.
Non-conditioned industrial sheds in Vietnam endure internal summer temperatures above 38°C with ambient humidity over 85%. Standard paint will blister, peel, and allow sub-surface rust within 18 months. Our products undergo an automated 7-stage pre-treatment wash, including acidic degreasing, clean-water rinse, and zinc-phosphate conversion coating, followed by automated electrostatic deposition of cured pure polyester or epoxy-polyester powder. This achieves a durable dry film thickness of 60 to 90 microns with a 2H pencil hardness, resisting scratches, fork swipes, and tropical atmospheric corrosion.
Yes. We offer complete installation services across all Vietnamese provinces. Depending on client preference, we dispatch certified installation supervisors to lead local labor teams, or provide full turnkey assembly crews equipped with laser alignment tools, torque-controlled impact drivers, and scissor lifts. Our installations adhere strictly to site safety guidelines, wearing required PPE, holding valid hot-work and high-work permits, and delivering certified post-assembly inspection checklists and load signage.
