Industrial Pallet Racking & High-Density Shelving Portfolio
Manufactured from high-tensile Q235B and Q355B cold-rolled steel, each system is finished with anti-corrosion electrostatic epoxy-polyester powder coating optimized for Saudi Arabia's arid environment and intensive continuous handling.
Riyadh: The Strategic Core of Saudi Arabia's Logistics Revolution
Under the transformative umbrella of Saudi Vision 2030 and the National Industrial Development and Logistics Program (NIDLP), Riyadh is solidifying its status as the premier freight and supply chain gateway connecting Asia, Europe, and Africa. Massive capital inflows into initiatives such as the Special Integrated Logistics Zone (SILZ) adjacent to King Salman International Airport, alongside continuous industrial expansions in MODON Industrial Cities (Riyadh 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Industrial Zones), have catalyzed unprecedented demand for Grade-A warehousing assets.
Modern distribution facilities across the Sulay Logistics Sub-Market and the Al-Kharj arterial corridors demand structural racking infrastructure that departs drastically from legacy configurations. Warehouse operators can no longer afford horizontal floor wastage; footprint optimization, vertical clearance utilization up to 14 meters, and precision handling compatibility are now mission-critical operational benchmarks.
Climatic & Structural Engineering Parameters
Deploying industrial steel structures within the central Najd plateau requires meticulous structural design that accounts for regional climate extremes. Surface warehouse temperatures in Riyadh frequently peak above 48°C during summer months, inducing severe thermal stress on structural assemblies when combined with extreme diurnal fluctuations.
Our OEM engineering frameworks incorporate cold-formed, continuous roll-formed profile geometry manufactured from high-yield Q235B and Q355B structural steel. Upright sections undergo rigorous tensile calculation complying with Saudi Building Code (SBC 301/303) and EN 15512 load-bearing criteria, ensuring that elastic deflection limits (L/200) remain intact even under maximum seismic acceleration and high localized ambient temperatures.
Furthermore, atmospheric dust ingress typical of the Ar-Riyadh province requires robust surface pre-treatment. Our 10-stage processing incorporates chemical immersion pickling, micro-crystalline phosphating, and electrostatic deposition of thermosetting polyester-epoxy powder resin (60–90 microns thickness), ensuring complete salt spray and humidity abrasion resistance over decades of rigorous service.

Mission-Critical Applications Across Central Province Industries
Engineered around local operational conditions, material handling vehicles, and regulatory expectations across Saudi Arabian commercial hubs.
cold Chain & Controlled Atmosphere
Refrigerated and frozen distribution centers throughout the Sulay and Exit 18 corridors require maximum cubic volume efficiency to minimize cooling loads per stored pallet. High-density radio shuttle lanes and dynamic roller systems eliminate empty aisle spaces, reducing structural refrigeration overhead by up to 35%.
E-Commerce & Parcel Fulfillment
Rapid growth in Middle Eastern digital commerce platforms demands multi-level order picking towers. Our rack-supported mezzanine platforms integrate heavy base storage with intermediate grating walkways, vertical freight elevators, and spiral chute interfaces to support up to 50,000 SKUs per hub.
Automotive Spare Parts & MRO
From bumper assemblies to micro-fasteners, Riyadh's major automotive supply hubs utilize hybrid storage architectures. High-bay selective racking with wire mesh decking safely supports non-standard pallets, while multi-level boltless shelving handles rapid replenishment bin picking.
Pharmaceuticals & Medical Devices
Strict Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) warehousing regulations mandate non-contaminating finishes and flawless FIFO stock rotation. Our gravity flow lanes and medical-grade powder-coated frames allow strict batch validation, easy wash-down compliance, and zero structural dead-corners.
Construction Materials & Heavy Hardware
Supporting Saudi Arabia's gigaprojects (NEOM, Qiddiya, Red Sea, Diriyah Gate), regional infrastructure suppliers rely on our heavy-duty cantilever systems and reinforced wide-span pallet racks rated up to 4,500 kg per beam level to safely warehouse structural tubing, rebar, and drywall boards.
FMCG Bulk Wholesalers & Supermarkets
Mass-market retail logistics centers require robust racking capable of resisting frequent forklift collisions. Reinforced footplates, wraparound upright protectors, and anti-collapse back-mesh netting guarantee continuous worker safety in 24/7 fast-moving pallet picking zones.

Cold-Formed High-Tensile Steel Engineering
Structural reliability in high-bay pallet racking is governed by buckling resistance in upright columns and torsional shear resistance across beam-to-frame connector nodes. HEDA Shelves utilizes cold-formed profile geometries featuring multi-bend omega shapes that significantly elevate the section modulus and gyration radius without adding excess dead-weight.
All beams are engineered from continuous roll-formed closed box-sections with automatic submerged arc welding along the seam. The 3-claw and 4-claw connector brackets are stamped from 3.5mm–4.0mm heavy gauge steel plates, incorporating a built-in mechanical safety locking pin designed to withstand vertical dislodgement forces exceeding 5,000 N, far surpassing standard international safety codes.
Automated 10-Step Anti-Corrosion Treatment
Racking longevity in desert environments is heavily dictated by pre-treatment quality prior to powder application. Dust particles, oils, and flash rust degrade structural adhesion if metal is not chemically treated under strict chemical monitoring.
- 01. Chemical Degreasing: Total oil and lubricant removal via heated alkaline wash.
- 02. Dual Stage Rinse: High-pressure demineralized water washing cycles.
- 03. Acid Pickling: Chemical elimination of scale, mill oxidation, and surface iron impurities.
- 04. Neutralization & Phosphating: Formation of a dense micro-crystalline zinc-phosphate conversion layer.
- 05. Oven Moisture Desiccation: Hot-air drying at 120°C ensuring zero moisture trapping.
- 06. Electrostatic Powder Application: Automated reciprocating spray guns coating 70-80 microns evenly.
- 07. High-Temperature Curing: Polymerization tunnel at 190°C – 200°C for high impact bonding.
The resulting finish exhibits cross-hatch adhesion tested to Class 0 (ISO 2409) and resistance to impact cracking up to 50 kg·cm, ensuring that forklift scrapes and operational knocks do not cause corrosion creeping across Saudi logistics sites.
