Key Challenges & Pre-Installation Preparation
Main Challenges
Harsh Environment Adaptability: The cold storage operates at -18°C with high humidity, which requires the racking to have excellent anti-corrosion, anti-rust, and low-temperature resistance capabilities; ordinary carbon steel racking is prone to rust and deformation in this environment.
High-Density Structural Stability: The racking is 12 meters high and 8 pallets deep, which puts forward high requirements for the structural stability, load-bearing capacity, and seismic performance of the racking; any structural defect may lead to safety hazards such as racking collapse.
Precision Installation Requirements: The installation accuracy of drive-in racking is extremely high. The verticality deviation of columns, the levelness deviation of support rails, and the alignment deviation of guide rails directly affect the safety of forklift entry and the stability of pallet storage.
Construction Period Constraints: The client’s business cannot be interrupted for a long time, and the installation and debugging must be completed within 25 days to ensure the normal operation of the cold storage during the peak sales season.
Pre-Installation Preparation Work
On-Site Survey & Customized Design: Our engineering team conducted a 3-day detailed on-site survey, including warehouse floor flatness, bearing capacity, wall structure, ceiling height, and the position of refrigeration equipment. Combined with the client’s pallet size, load weight, and inventory characteristics, we used 3D modeling software to design a personalized drive-in racking scheme. The scheme optimizes the lane spacing and support rail structure, and adopts a reinforced brace design to enhance the longitudinal rigidity and seismic performance of the racking, fully adapting to the low-temperature environment and high-density storage needs.
Material Selection & Quality Control: In terms of material selection, we use high-quality Q235B carbon steel as the main material of the racking, with the surface treated by hot-dip galvanizing (galvanized layer thickness ≥ 85μm), which has excellent anti-corrosion and anti-rust performance and can adapt to the long-term low-temperature and high-humidity environment. All materials are strictly tested for tensile strength, yield strength, and impact toughness before leaving the factory, and the welding parts are inspected by non-destructive testing to ensure that each component meets national standards and project quality requirements.
Installation Plan Formulation & Safety Training: We formulated a detailed phased installation plan, dividing the project into four stages: foundation treatment, component installation, guide rail debugging, and system acceptance, with clear tasks and time nodes for each stage. Before construction, we conducted 2 rounds of safety and technical training for all installation personnel, focusing on the installation specifications of high-altitude operations, the use of professional tools, and the anti-freezing and anti-slip measures in low-temperature environments, ensuring that each installer is familiar with the operation process and safety precautions.
Auxiliary Equipment & Site Layout: We prepared professional installation equipment suitable for low-temperature environments, such as electric hoists, high-altitude operation platforms, and laser levelers, and carried out anti-freezing treatment for the equipment. At the same time, we rationally planned the on-site material stacking area, installation operation area, and forklift passage to avoid interference between different operations and ensure the smooth progress of the installation work.
Detailed Installation Process & Key Technical Points
Stage 1: Foundation Treatment & Column Base Installation (Days 1-5)
The flatness and bearing capacity of the warehouse floor are the foundation for the stable operation of the drive-in racking. First, the construction team used a laser leveler to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the warehouse floor, and polished and leveled the uneven areas to ensure that the floor flatness deviation is controlled within ±3mm/m. Then, according to the design drawing, the anchor bolt positions are accurately marked on the floor, and the foundation holes are drilled with a professional drilling rig. After cleaning the dust and debris in the holes, high-strength non-shrinkage grout is poured, and the column bases are placed and fixed. During the installation of the base, the verticality of the base is strictly controlled with a level, and the horizontal deviation of all bases in the same row is guaranteed to be less than 5mm, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent installation of columns and beams.
Stage 2: Column & Main Frame Installation (Days 6-15)
This stage is the core link of the entire installation project, which directly determines the structural stability and safety of the racking. First, the pre-galvanized columns are hoisted to the corresponding bases by an electric hoist, and the columns are connected and fixed with the bases through high-strength bolts. During the hoisting process, professional constructors hold the columns to avoid collision with the warehouse wall or other equipment. After the columns are installed, the verticality of each column is checked with a theodolite, and the verticality deviation is adjusted to be less than 10mm/12m by tightening or loosening the fixing bolts.
Next, the main beams and diagonal braces are installed between the columns. The main beams are connected with the columns through high-strength bolts, and the diagonal braces are installed in a triangular distribution to enhance the longitudinal and lateral stability of the racking frame. After the installation of the main frame, the overall dimension of the frame is measured, and the spacing deviation between adjacent columns is controlled within ±5mm to ensure the accurate installation of the subsequent support rails and guide rails. In the low-temperature environment of -18°C, the construction team took anti-slip measures such as wearing anti-slip gloves and shoes, and shortened the continuous operation time to avoid safety accidents caused by low-temperature frostbite.
Stage 3: Support Rail & Floor Guide Rail Installation (Days 16-22)
The support rail is the key component for supporting pallets, and its installation accuracy directly affects the stability of pallet storage and the safety of forklift access. The support rail adopts a triangular galvanized steel structure, which is installed on both sides of each layer of the racking lane. During installation, the levelness of the support rail is adjusted with a laser leveler, and the levelness deviation of the same layer of support rail is controlled within ±3mm. At the same time, the distance between the support rails on both sides is strictly controlled according to the pallet width to ensure that the pallets can be accurately placed on the support rails without shaking or tilting.
The floor guide rail is installed at the bottom of each storage lane, which plays a guiding role for the forklift to enter and exit the lane, preventing the forklift from colliding with the racking and causing damage. The guide rail is made of high-strength galvanized steel, which is fixed on the warehouse floor with expansion bolts. During installation, the straightness of the guide rail is adjusted with a laser theodolite, and the deviation is controlled within ±5mm/10m. At the end of the guide rail, a centering device is installed to assist the forklift in accurately entering the storage lane. After the installation of the support rail and guide rail, the construction team conducted a trial run with a forklift to simulate the process of pallet entry and exit, and adjusted the positions of the support rail and guide rail in time according to the trial run situation to ensure the smoothness and safety of the access operation.
Stage 4: Overall Debugging & Safety Inspection (Days 23-25)
After the installation of all components is completed, the engineering team carried out a comprehensive overall debugging and safety inspection of the drive-in racking system. First, the structural stability of the racking is inspected, including checking whether all bolts are tightened, whether the welding parts are firm, and whether the columns, beams, and braces are deformed or damaged. Then, the load-bearing test is carried out: standard pallets with a load of 1.5 tons are placed on each layer of the support rails, and the deformation of the support rails and the settlement of the columns are observed after 24 hours of loading. The test results show that the deformation of all support rails is less than 2mm, and the column settlement is less than 1mm, which meets the design load-bearing requirements.
At the same time, the anti-corrosion performance of the racking is inspected, focusing on checking whether the galvanized layer is damaged or rusted at the welding parts and bolt connections. Finally, the safety accessories such as safety warning signs, anti-collision guards, and column protectors are installed to further enhance the safety of the racking system. After all inspections are qualified, we jointly conduct a handover acceptance with the client’s technical and management personnel, and explain to the client the daily operation specifications, maintenance points, and safety precautions of the racking system, ensuring that the client can use and maintain the system correctly.

The client, a key player in Central Asia’s cross-border trade and cargo distribution, specializes in storing and transporting bulk goods, including auto parts, construction materials, and consumer electronics—core commodities driving Uzbekistan’s economic growth. Facing the challenge of limited warehouse space and the need to optimize storage density for large-volume, low-SKU goods, the client sought a high-efficiency storage solution that could integrate with their existing forklift operations and adapt to the region’s industrial environment. After in-depth communication and on-site investigation of the client’s warehouse conditions, we designed and implemented a tailor-made drive-in racking system that perfectly meets their operational needs, significantly improving storage capacity and operational efficiency.
Client Background: The client is a Tashkent-based logistics enterprise with over 8 years of experience in cross-border logistics and warehousing services, focusing on connecting Uzbekistan’s domestic market with Eurasian supply chains. As Uzbekistan accelerates the upgrading of its logistics infrastructure, the client’s warehouse (located in the Tashkent Logistics Park, a key hub for rail and road interconnection) has been facing increasing pressure from rising cargo volumes. Their existing storage system, mainly traditional selective racking, had low space utilization (only 45%), leading to high operating costs and inefficient cargo turnover. The client’s core requirements were to maximize storage density, reduce aisle space, ensure safe operation with heavy-duty loads, and align with international standards for durability and safety—critical for supporting their long-term business expansion in Central Asia.
Client Requirements: After multiple rounds of communication, the client put forward clear and specific requirements for the drive-in racking system, based on their daily operations and cargo characteristics:
• Storage Capacity: The warehouse has a total area of 1,200 square meters and a clear height of 8.5 meters; the client required the drive-in racking system to increase storage capacity by at least 50% compared to the existing selective racking, accommodating no less than 1,200 standard pallets.
• Load Capacity: The main cargo stored includes auto parts (average 800kg per pallet) and light construction materials (average 1,000kg per pallet); thus, the racking system needed to support a uniform load capacity of 1,200kg per pallet position, with a maximum load capacity of 1,500kg per pallet to handle peak loads.
• Pallet Specifications: The client uses the internationally standard 1200×1000mm pallets (the most common size in Uzbekistan’s cross-border trade), with a pallet height of 1500mm (including goods); the racking design needed to match this size and ensure smooth forklift entry and pallet placement.
• Operational Efficiency: The system must follow the LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) principle, suitable for bulk goods with low turnover; forklift operation must be efficient, with clear guide structures to reduce collision risks and improve loading/unloading speed.
• Durability & Safety: Given Uzbekistan’s dry and dusty industrial environment, the racking system needed to be made of high-strength steel with anti-corrosion treatment; additional safety accessories (column guards, guide rails, end stoppers) were required to protect the racking from forklift impact and prevent pallet slipping.
• Certification & Compliance: The system must meet CE and CPR certifications to ensure compliance with international industrial safety standards, facilitating the client’s future expansion into other Eurasian markets.
• Installation & After-Sales: The installation period must not exceed 15 days to minimize operational disruption; on-site training for the client’s operators and a 12-month after-sales maintenance service were required.
Customized Solution Design: Based on the client’s requirements and on-site warehouse conditions, we designed a single-entry drive-in racking system (against the warehouse walls) with a scientific layout and optimized structural design, integrating industry best practices and regional adaptability:
1. Racking Structure & Dimensions: The system consists of 18 drive-in lanes, divided into 3 blocks (6 lanes per block) to ensure structural stability. Each lane is designed with a depth of 5 pallet positions (consistent with industry standards for 1,200kg/pallet loads, avoiding excessive depth that could affect forklift efficiency and safety). The racking height is 7.8 meters (reserving 0.7 meters of clear space for fire safety and ventilation), with 4 storage levels per lane. The upright frame depth is 1250mm (30mm more than the pallet width to accommodate slight pallet overhang), and the bay width is 1.2 meters, perfectly matching the client’s 1200×1000mm pallets.
2. Material & Load-Bearing Design: The racking components are made of high-strength Q235B cold-rolled steel, which has excellent load-bearing capacity and durability. The uprights adopt a 100mm section (suitable for racking heights over 6.5 meters), and the load beams are 120×50mm rectangular tubes, ensuring a uniform load capacity of 1,200kg per pallet position. All components are treated with hot-dip galvanizing and electrostatic spraying (RAL 7035 gray, the client’s specified color) to resist corrosion and dust, adapting to Uzbekistan’s industrial environment.
3. Safety Accessories: To ensure operational safety, the system is equipped with multiple safety components: column guards (installed at the bottom of each upright to prevent forklift impact), guide rails (installed along the inner sides of each lane to assist forklifts in centering and entering safely), end stoppers (installed at the end of each lane to prevent pallets from slipping due to gravity), and anti-collision buffers at the entrance of each lane. Additionally, the top beams and back bracing are reinforced to enhance the overall stability of the racking system, addressing the lower stability issue of drive-in racks compared to selective racks.
4. Operational Matching: The system is fully compatible with the client’s existing counterbalanced battery forklifts (the most commonly used forklift type in Uzbekistan’s warehouses). The main approach aisle width is designed to 3.5 meters, and the internal lane width is 1.2 meters, ensuring smooth forklift entry, loading, and retrieval operations. The LIFO operation mode is adopted, which is perfectly suited for the client’s bulk goods with low turnover, such as construction materials and auto parts.
5. Installation & Training: The installation team was dispatched to Tashkent within 3 days after the components were delivered to the client’s warehouse. The installation process strictly followed international standards, with on-site quality inspection at each step to ensure structural stability and safety. The entire installation was completed in 12 days, 3 days ahead of the scheduled period, minimizing the impact on the client’s normal operations. After installation, our technical team provided 2 days of on-site training for the client’s operators, covering forklift operation skills in the drive-in lanes, racking safety precautions, and daily maintenance methods.
Project Implementation Results: After the completion of the drive-in racking system and a 3-month trial operation, the client achieved remarkable results, fully meeting and exceeding their expected goals:
1. Storage Capacity Improvement: The drive-in racking system increased the warehouse’s storage capacity from 800 pallets (with traditional selective racking) to 1,350 pallets, a 68.75% increase—far exceeding the client’s 50% growth requirement. The space utilization rate of the warehouse increased from 45% to 82%, maximizing the use of available floor space and vertical space, which is crucial for warehouses in high-logistics-cost areas like Tashkent.
2. Operational Efficiency Enhancement: The LIFO operation mode and optimized lane design reduced forklift travel distance by 40%, shortening the average loading/unloading time per pallet from 8 minutes to 4.5 minutes. The guide rails and safety accessories reduced forklift collision incidents by 100%, ensuring safe and efficient operations. The client’s daily cargo turnover increased by 35%, significantly improving their service capabilities for cross-border trade clients.
3. Cost Savings: The increase in storage density eliminated the need for warehouse expansion, saving the client approximately 200,000 USD in warehouse rental and expansion costs per year. The durable material and anti-corrosion treatment reduced the racking’s maintenance costs by 60% compared to traditional racking, further lowering operational expenses.
4. Compliance & Future Expansion: The system fully meets CE and CPR certifications, laying a solid foundation for the client’s future expansion into other Eurasian markets. The modular design of the racking allows for easy expansion—if the client’s cargo volume increases in the future, additional lanes or levels can be added without major modifications to the existing system.
Client Feedback: “The customized drive-in racking system has completely solved our storage space and efficiency problems. The high storage density and safe operation have greatly improved our logistics service capabilities, allowing us to better meet the growing cross-border trade demand in Central Asia.
