Premium heavy-duty structures selected for dynamic warehouses and cold storage spaces across the Rajshahi Division
Rajshahi, widely regarded as the agricultural capital of Bangladesh, is transitioning from traditional farming to a modern food processing and industrial hub. With major initiatives underway at the BSCIC Industrial Estate-2 and the rapid growth of the agro-processing corridor along the Rajshahi-Dhaka highway, storage infrastructure requirements have scaled drastically.
The region handles massive volumes of agricultural produce, especially mangoes, potatoes, and grains, requiring advanced cold chain preservation systems. Standard racking options consume too much aisle space, driving up electricity costs in refrigerated storage. High-density Drive-In Racking Systems provide the solution, reducing operating footprint and maximizing temperature-controlled storage volume.
We customize and deploy racking systems designed to withstand Bangladesh's unique environmental and geographical conditions.

From commercial shop fitting to automated warehouse platforms
A deep structural analysis of material grades, load distribution, and safety profiles
Our Drive-In pallet racking systems are built using high-strength Q235B structural carbon steel (equivalent to S235JR under European EN 10025 standards). This material offers the ideal balance of yield strength (235 MPa) and ductility, allowing frames to absorb potential forklift impacts without structural failure.
Each frame is computed using Finite Element Method (FEM) software. Columns are roll-formed into multi-bend profiles, maximizing the load-bearing cross-section while minimizing weight. Double-sided bracing panels are integrated throughout the system to maintain rigidity.
Warehouses in Bangladesh run the risk of structural corrosion due to high ambient relative humidity and seasonal monsoons. In cold storage applications, temperature swings can cause condensation.
To prevent rust, our components undergo a multi-stage pretreatment process: alkaline degreasing, hot water rinses, zinc-phosphate conversion coating, and a dual-layer epoxy powder coating. The resulting surface finish exceeds 80 microns in thickness, resisting moisture penetration and corrosion.
Because forklifts must navigate directly inside the racking bays, collision protection is critical. Our Drive-In systems feature heavy-duty floor-mounted guide rails and reinforced upright guards to prevent structural damage.
| System Component | Material Specification | Surface Finish Options | Typical Load Capacities |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vertical Columns (Uprights) | Q235B / Q355B Hot Rolled Steel Coil | Electrostatic Powder Coated (EPOXY) | 8,000 kg – 24,000 kg per bay |
| Horizontal Pallet Rails | Formed Galvanized Steel (2.0mm - 2.5mm) | Pre-Galvanized or Hot-Dip Galvanized | 500 kg – 1,500 kg per pallet position |
| Load Rail Support Arms | Q235 Steel (Heavy Duty Stamped) | Powder Coating (RAL 2004 Orange) | Cantilevered design, load matched |
| Seismic Bracing Members | Tubular Steel / C-Section Profiles | Powder Coated (RAL 7035 Grey) | Engineered dynamically per region |
By eliminating individual forklift aisles, Drive-In systems decrease the air volume that needs to be cooled, providing significant savings on refrigeration energy costs. This layout is standard for bulk mango paste and frozen agricultural exports across the Rajshahi Division.
In areas like Godagari, Puthia, and Bagha within the Rajshahi district, crop storage requirements vary heavily by season. During peak harvest, facilities require maximum density to handle rapid inflows of produce.
Drive-In racking systems allow pallets to be stacked deep in multi-tier configurations (often 4 to 8 pallets deep and 4 to 5 pallets high). Because seasonal crops are managed in large, uniform batches, the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) model is highly effective.
This high-density configuration provides storage capacity that would require twice the footprint using traditional selective pallet racking, allowing businesses to maximize their existing building investments.
Key information regarding logistics, engineering, installation, and deployment in the Rajshahi Division
Drive-In racking is highly efficient for cold storage, reducing aisle space to maximize density. Because refrigeration is energy-intensive, increasing pallet counts per cubic meter helps lower average cooling costs. This setup is ideal for seasonal agricultural stockpiles like mango pulp, potatoes, and grains.
Yes. We apply a multi-step anti-corrosion coating that includes alkaline washing, acid pickling, zinc phosphate pretreatment, and a dual-layer electrostatic powder coating cured at high temperature. For harsh or humid environments, we offer hot-dip galvanized components (compliant with ISO 1461) to guarantee long-term corrosion resistance.
We export products directly from our manufacturing facility. Shipments are routed via sea freight to the Port of Chittagong or Mongla, and then transported by road directly to your warehouse location in Rajshahi. We handle all export packaging, container loading, and customs documentation.
Yes. We supply comprehensive installation manuals and detailed 3D layouts. For large-scale projects, we can send field installation engineers to supervise the assembly process, run structural safety checks, and train local crews on safe loading practices.
Our facility and products are fully certified under ISO9001, ISO14001, and TUV Rheinland standards. Racks are designed in strict accordance with European EN 15512 and FEM 10.2.02 codes for structural and mechanical performance.
