Direct from factory solutions optimized for Riyadh Second Industrial City, dry ports, and central distribution hubs.
Under the strategic umbrella of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, the city of Riyadh is rapidly transforming into the primary logistics and industrial gateway of the Middle East. Driven by major public-private investments in infrastructure, the demand for sophisticated, load-bearing storage solutions has reached unprecedented levels. Large-scale dry ports, specialized zones such as Sudair Industrial City, and massive automated distribution facilities near King Khalid International Airport (KKIA) require advanced structural shelving systems to optimize limited spatial footprints.
Wide span shelving represents the crucial middle-ground of logistics configuration, supporting heavy, non-palletized cargo, high-density bulk storage, and high-frequency manual picking operations. With Riyadh positioning itself as a central nexus for e-commerce hubs (such as Noon, Amazon SA, and localized 3PL conglomerates), warehouse storage must be both high-density and easily configurable. Standard light shelving is insufficient for these demanding operational environments; industrial-grade, hot-rolled and cold-formed steel engineering is mandatory to withstand rapid cargo turnover and ensure physical operator safety.
Procurement for industrial projects in Saudi Arabia demands strict alignment with local building safety codes. Structures built in Riyadh are subject to the regulations of the Saudi Building Code (SBC), specifically SBC 301 (Structural Load requirements) and structural fire guidelines enforced by the Saudi Civil Defense. Wide span shelving and heavy-duty pallet racks must support standard uniform distributed loads (UDL) while providing structural resilience against seismic occurrences in the Arabian Peninsula.
Furthermore, customs compliance relies on the SABER system under SASO (Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization) protocols. Racking systems imported without proper compliance certifications risk customs retention at port entry (primarily King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam or Jeddah Islamic Port). As a premier global exporter, our shelving units are systematically verified against rigorous stress tests and international quality certifications, enabling seamless SABER registration and compliance with the Saudi Civil Defense fire protection regulations (which require minimum spacing and water penetration clearances for warehouse sprinkler systems).
Engineered to support heavy unit loads under intense ambient temperatures, ideal for central Saudi logistics facilities.
How we manufacture wide span and heavy-duty shelving to withstand demanding environment stresses.
The load capacity and deflection profile of wide span shelving rely heavily on raw material quality. We utilize high-grade Q235B and Q355B structural steel (comparable to European grades S235JR and S355JR). Q355B steel features superior tensile strength (up to 510 MPa) and a high yield point, making it suitable for upright frames supporting multi-tier picking structures or heavy industrial spare parts warehouses in Riyadh.
Our upright posts undergo high-precision cold roll forming to create a complex profile with multi-bend structural columns. This design ensures optimal radius-of-gyration parameters, preventing local buckling under maximum axial compression. Beams are designed with double-c and step profiles, featuring safety locks at connector clips to prevent accidental forklift dislodgement.
Riyadh experiences extreme temperature variations, with summer outdoor temperatures frequently exceeding 45°C. To protect the structural steel from humidity fluctuations and mechanical wear, all racking components receive a comprehensive surface treatment: chemical descaling, hot-spray phosphating, and an electrostatic epoxy powder coating (cured at 180°C - 200°C) with a minimum thickness of 80 to 100 microns.
No two distribution centers are alike. Our in-house research and development engineering division, consisting of 22 experienced structural and mechanical engineers, custom-tailors wide span shelving configurations to match unique customer floor plans and pallet loading profiles. Using FEA (Finite Element Analysis) software, we simulate stress distribution profiles, optimize upright cross-sections, and design seismically stable floor baseplates.
Whether your facility in Riyadh requires perforated steel decking panels (essential for complying with local Civil Defense fire safety requirements and sprinkler penetration), wire mesh decks, or high-density composite timber decking, our manufacturing facility supports multiple configurations. Our modular designs allow adjustable shelf levels at 50mm or 75mm pitches, enabling warehouse managers to quickly adapt storage layouts to changing inventory.

Optimized configurations engineered for diverse industrial sectors across Saudi Arabia.
In Riyadh's food logistics sectors, cold storage and controlled temperature facilities are essential. Standard storage racks can become brittle at sub-zero temperatures. Our systems use cold-rolled structural steel with low-temperature impact test verifications and specialized anti-corrosive powder finishes that resist condensation damage, ensuring structural stability under high thermal cycling.
With regional e-commerce expanding, distribution hubs require multi-tier picking platforms and open-shelf wide span structures. These setups optimize ground-level space for manual stock pickers, utilizing vertical height efficiently while maintaining high density. Wire decking integration supports safety requirements by allowing overhead sprinkler water to penetrate lower shelf levels.
Industrial hubs require heavy-duty storage for non-standard, bulky spare parts. Our wide span shelving supports load profiles up to 1,000kg to 3,000kg per level. Adjustable configurations allow components of various sizes—such as motors, gearboxes, and large casting dies—to be stored on a single frame, saving floor space in busy maintenance zones.
