Traceability: Strict First Expired, First Out (FEFO) inventory control via guided lane systems.
Cold Chain Food and beverage deep lane cold storage warehouse

Food & Beverage Distribution

Refrigerated and sub-zero storage facilities face severe energy overhead. Maximizing cubic storage density while sustaining strict FIFO rotation for perishable foods is critical for operating profitability.

System Highlights: Deep-lane pallet shuttle systems, gravity flow racks, and drive-in configurations.
Thermal Resilience: Specialized steel grades engineered to eliminate cold brittleness down to -30°C.
Energy Optimization: Maximizes pallet positions per refrigerated cubic meter to slash utility loads.
Apparel & Retail Fashion garment on hanger and carton mezzanine storage

Fashion Retail & Hanging Goods

Handling delicate garments on hanger (GOH), seasonal inventory peaks, and high return ratios requires integrated multi-tier mezzanine floors, flat-pack carton shelving, and rapid pick interfaces.

System Highlights: Hanging garment trolley systems, multi-story industrial mezzanines, and carton flow racks.
Vertical Utilization: Doubles or triples usable floor footprint within existing warehouse ceiling clearance.
Flexibility: Seamless structural integration with vertical spiral chutes and overhead garment conveyors.
Heavy Industry Automotive heavy parts and spare components storage

Automotive & Manufacturing

Manufacturing assembly lines require heavy-duty storage capable of supporting high point loads, steel stillages, irregularly shaped stamped parts, and sequenced line-side replenishment.

System Highlights: Heavy-duty roll-formed and structural pallet racks, cantilever arms, and coil cradles.
Impact Defense: Heavy gauge uprights, DEFENDER column protectors, and floor guide rails.
JIT Sequencing: Direct-access configurations tailored to support Just-In-Time assembly line supply.

Industry FAQ

Technical Inquiries from Sector Buyers

Direct answers from our structural storage engineers regarding sector regulations, automation tolerances, and building code compliances.

How does NEDCON adapt racking designs to different industry regulations?

NEDCON Storage Racking Solutions B.V. customizes steel profiles, tolerances, finishes, and safety configurations to match distinct industry standards. For example, food and pharmaceutical facilities require sanitized, powder-coated or galvanized finishes with cleanable open profiles and strict FIFO gravity flow. Heavy industrial automotive facilities receive high-impact beam gauges and structural bollards compliant with ANSI MH16.1 and local seismic requirements.

Can your cold-storage racking withstand continuous sub-zero temperatures?

Yes. Our deep-freeze and cold storage systems (such as high-density pallet shuttle and drive-in racks) are manufactured from certified, high-grade steel alloys engineered specifically to avoid cold brittleness down to -30°C (-22°F). High-density lane layouts maximize thermal cubic efficiency, substantially cutting refrigeration operating costs.

Are NEDCON storage systems certified for seismic zones across North America?

All racking systems engineered by NEDCON Storage Racking Solutions B.V. undergo full structural and finite-element analysis (FEA). We design baseplates, anchor bolts, upright bracing patterns, and frame depths to meet specific site seismic design categories according to the International Building Code (IBC) and CSA A344 guidelines.

How does NEDCON support automated integration for e-commerce and retail distribution?

We build high-precision automated pallet high-bays, miniload AS/RS, and robotic grid racking (such as ROBORACK) manufactured to millimetric deflection tolerances required by top tier global automation integrators like Knapp, Witron, and Vanderlande.
