Heavy-duty engineered hardware optimized for Nordic supply chains, warehouses, and commercial spaces.
Analyzing density requirements, temperature limits, and safety standards in the Gothenburg-Stockholm-Malmö triangles.
Sweden's industrial supply chain is experiencing a critical shift. Driven by soaring industrial land valuations in key logistics corridors like **Gothenburg (Göteborgs Hamn)**, Jönköping, and Stockholm, distribution center operators are forced to maximize cubic utilization over simple square-footage floor space. Traditional selective pallet racking often falls short, dedicating over 60% of available warehouse volume to forklift aisles.
This is where engineered **Drive-in racking systems** become indispensable. By allowing forklifts to drive directly into the storage bays, these systems eliminate dedicated access aisles, achieving floor space efficiency gains of up to 85%. For Sweden's prominent cold-storage operators (delivering frozen seafood, dairy products, and organic produce), this spatial consolidation directly translates to massive cuts in refrigeration power bills.
Engineering a structural steel drive-in rack requires deep expertise in structural dynamics. Unlike selective systems where horizontal beams stabilize the structure, drive-in frames rely on overhead bracing, back-bracing, and heavy-duty portal beams to resist lateral forces. Our R&D division utilizes advanced **Finite Element Analysis (FEA)** to run load simulations under extreme stress loads, catering specifically to European structural design rules.
For Swedish regional hubs, our custom-engineered structural solutions use premium Q235B and Q355B structural steel. In low-temperature environments (down to -30°C), steel toughness becomes a crucial factor; typical carbon steel can experience brittle fracture issues. Our systems are heat-treated and certified to retain their yield strengths and impact resistance values, ensuring structural integrity even in Northern Sweden's most unforgiving sub-zero temperatures.

Backed by 8 years of annual export experience and 14 years of deep industry expertise, we deliver world-class warehouse logistics solutions globally, generating an annual export revenue of over $28,000,000.
Quality is our core promise. We implement strict Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and Ultrasonic Weld Inspection using advanced product inspection methods, overseen by a dedicated team of 45 QC specialists. Operating with a robust OEM & ODM direct-manufacturing framework, we primarily serve markets across North America, Western Europe, and Southeast Asia. We maintain active partnerships with over 1,200 supply chain stakeholders, catering to 3PL logistics hubs, large-scale e-commerce fulfillment centers, and industrial manufacturing complexes.
Our robust R&D capability centers on Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS) & Finite Element Structural Analysis. We offer extensive custom options, including seismic resistance rating, custom load capacity engineering, and specialized powder coating finishes. In the past year alone, we achieved 45 new product launches, driven by a talented team of 32 R&D engineers.
Every profile is precision-manufactured through our integrated production line, ensuring conformity to European EN structural codes.
All manufacturing steps are verified by ultrasonic testing and certified under CE/ISO 9001 protocols, ensuring seamless clearance and high-performance operations in Sweden.
Request Certified Test DocumentationWe bridge global production with localized Nordic execution, managing standards, transport, and structural safety.
We manage complete logistics pipelines directly from our factory floor to the Ports of **Gothenburg, Helsingborg, and Stockholm**. Our shipping teams handle the import documentation, customs clearance, and local inland transport through reliable Nordic logistics partners, ensuring seamless delivery.
Swedish workplace laws are stringent regarding static racking. Our structural layouts incorporate heavy-duty **upright guard protectors**, pallet guide rails, and safety backstops to protect warehouse personnel from accidental impact, ensuring compliance with **AFS 2020:1** rules.
To comply with **SS-EN 15635**, Swedish warehouses require annual inspections. We provide detailed load charts, deflection metrics, and safety markers for each section, making it straightforward for your local structural inspector to approve and certify the installation.
Bridging the gap between static storage density and Industry 4.0 automated warehouse integration.
As logistics operations automate, static Drive-in racking designs must adapt. We provide modular, dual-purpose rail sections that can transition from manual forklift-driven operations to automated **Radio Shuttle (Pallet Runner)** systems. This upgrade pathway allows you to expand capacity and speed dynamically without purchasing entirely new rack infrastructure.
Sweden’s logistics market is leading the world in implementing carbon-neutral distribution networks. To support our clients' sustainability mandates, we use low-carbon steel sourcing alongside eco-friendly, low-VOC epoxy powder coatings. This reduces the Scope 3 emissions footprint of new warehouse developments.
Furthermore, our engineering team ensures upright column tolerances match the precise positioning systems of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and Laser Guided Vehicles (LGVs). Our high-precision manufacturing eliminates standard deviation errors in spacing, guaranteeing collision-free operation for automated machinery.
