Racking And Shelving Systems Manufacturer & Factory

For installations located within coastal exposure zones like St. George’s harbor and Grand Anse, atmospheric salt spray accelerates electrochemical steel pitting. We provide two robust anti-corrosion pathways: first, an industrial-grade architectural powder coating process incorporating an active zinc-rich phosphate undercoat (reaching a coating thickness of 80µm to 110µm) passing 500-hour neutral salt-spray tests (ASTM B117); second, for extreme damp or outdoor yard installations (such as cantilever lumber storage), we offer full immersion Hot-Dip Galvanizing (HDG) per ISO 1461 / ASTM A123 standards. Hot-dip galvanization forms metallurgical zinc-iron alloy layers that provide self-healing cathodic protection against rust, even if scratched by forklift forks.

Grenada is situated in an active seismic tectonic boundary in the Eastern Caribbean and is subject to tropical storm systems. In accordance with the Caribbean Uniform Building Code (CUBiC) and seismic design standards outlined in ANSI MH16.1 / FEMA 460, industrial racks cannot be treated as static furniture—they are mission-critical civil structures. Our structural calculations calibrate building spectral response accelerations (Ss and S1 parameters), ensuring that column bases utilize oversized structural baseplates, dual heavy-duty expansion chemical wedge anchors per footplate, and robust diagonal horizontal frame bracing to ensure ductility and prevent catastrophic progressive rack collapse during a seismic or ground vibration event.

Our systems are engineered for intuitive, precise mechanical field assembly. Standard upright frames can be shipped pre-assembled or flat-packed (knock-down) with bolted bracing to minimize ocean container shipping volume. We provide full 3D CAD step-by-step assembly drawings, bolt-torque specifications, frame alignment tolerances, and remote video consultation directly with our factory installation managers. Should your project scope require turn-key assembly (such as multi-tier mezzanine floors or drive-in systems), we can dispatch an experienced site installation supervisor to St. George’s to lead, align, plumb, and certify your local contractor workforce.

We handle complete export maritime documentation for smooth customs clearance through Grenada Customs & Excise at St. George’s port. This includes certified Commercial Invoices, detailed packing lists specifying individual bay piece-marks, Bills of Lading (Clean on Board), Mill Test Certificates (MTCs), and Certificates of Origin (COO). Every 40ft High Cube container is professionally stuffed using heavy-duty nylon tie-downs, custom timber dunage, and vapor-corrosion inhibitor (VCI) shrink wrap to prevent load shifting and condensation moisture damage while crossing the Caribbean Sea.

For standard selective racking holding 1,000 kg to 1,500 kg per pallet position (with bay heights of 5m to 7m), concrete floor slabs should have a minimum thickness of 150mm (6 inches) to 200mm (8 inches) with a compressive strength of at least 3,000 to 4,000 PSI (C20/C25 or C30 concrete). The slab must be crack-free and cured for a minimum of 28 days. Our engineering team reviews your slab specification and core sample reports during the initial project design to properly calculate anchor hole embedment depths, baseplate footprint distributions, and edge-distance clearances to prevent slab punching failures.
