Select engineered pallet, cantilever, and shelving systems optimized for the high throughput requirements of Northern Italy's industrial hubs.
Milan, representing the heart of the Lombardy region, is the economic engine of Italy and a crucial logistics crossroad for Southern and Central Europe. As the city transitions towards high-tech manufacturing, pharmaceutical production, automotive components, and global fashion warehousing, the demands placed on logistics footprint efficiency have grown exponentially. High land costs in Lombardy mean industrial operations must optimize every cubic meter of vertical space.
Traditional horizontal storage systems no longer satisfy the throughput velocities required by modern supply chains. Whether managing highly sensitive pharmaceutical cold chains in Monza, fashion distribution hubs in Segrate, or heavy metal fabricating facilities in Brescia, custom-engineered stacking racks, cantilever shelves, and heavy-duty pallet racking systems are fundamental to operational efficiency. Nanjing Everack delivers precise structural answers designed to withstand the physical demands of high-load operations while complying fully with strict European seismic and technical standards.
"With the rapid integration of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and complex warehouse management systems across the Northern Italian logistics golden triangle, storage structural components must maintain dimensional tolerances within millimeter fractions under maximum static and dynamic loads. A failure in racking geometry is a failure in the entire automated material flow."
Company Overview & Background: Nanjing Everack Storage Equipment Co., Ltd. was officially established in 2014, operating as a premier enterprise with over 12 years of core industry experience in industrial racking design and structural manufacturing. Situated in a modern industrial center in Nanjing, China, our manufacturing facility spans an expansive building area of 38,500 square meters. As a specialized global vendor with 9 years of dedicated export experience, our products are distributed across North America, Western Europe, and Australia, generating an impressive annual export revenue of USD 28.5 million.
Manufacturing Strength & Supply Chain Ecosystem: Supported by a robust network of more than 1,200 upstream supply chain partners—including top-tier steel suppliers, automated powder coating providers, and precision hardware manufacturers—we serve high-tier international clients. Our primary customer base consists of third-party logistics (3PL) providers, global e-commerce distribution centers, cold storage operations, and large-scale manufacturing facilities.
Driven by strong engineering capabilities, Everack employs a professional team of 68 R&D engineers who utilize Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and 3D CAD modeling to engineer high-capacity, seismic-resistant storage systems. In the past year alone, our engineering unit successfully released 185 new product innovations and customized profile iterations.
Using ANSYS and SAP2000, we perform exhaustive structural testing on rack designs. We simulate localized buckling, global structural displacement, and dynamic seismic reactions corresponding to specific geographical acceleration variables in Northern Italy.
From cold-rolled omega upright shapes with varying steel gauges to customized heavy duty box beams, our profiles are optimized to provide the highest strength-to-weight ratio, lowering overall freight costs while increasing payload capacity.
Options include UV-resistant outdoor powder coatings, anti-microbial paints for pharmaceutical applications, and high-durability hot-dip galvanization (ISO 1461 compliant) for harsh chemical or outdoor storage conditions.
| Steel Grade Options | Yield Strength (MPa) | Tensile Strength (MPa) | Recommended Applications (Milan Market) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q235B (Equivalent to S235JR) | 235 Min | 370 - 500 | Standard light-to-medium duty shelf units, backing components, and wire mesh decks. |
| Q355B (Equivalent to S355JR) | 355 Min | 470 - 630 | High-rise pallet racking uprights, automated storage platforms, and heavy-duty structural cantilevers. |
| Hot-Dip Galvanized S350GD+Z | 350 Min | 420 Min | Cold storage chambers (down to -30°C), coastal logistics zones, and outdoor construction material racks. |
We control the manufacturing process in-house, from cold coils to finished racks, using robotic welding and precision roll-forming lines.
Operating in the European market requires deep alignment with strict design, raw material, and installation regulations. In Italy, storage rack structures are classified as civil building elements under specific parameters, subject to the local building code Norme Tecniche per le Costruzioni (NTC 2018).
Ensures calculation models for steel static storage systems align with limit state design philosophies, taking structural safety factors, dynamic load tolerances, and accidental impacts into strict account.
Lombardy contains several active seismic zones. Our customized systems employ dynamic baseplates, robust bracing systems, and specific material cross-sections engineered to absorb seismic energy without collapse.
Quality control is embedded at every phase of our production lines. We maintain a dedicated Quality Control department staffed by 45 certified QC inspectors. Our quality detection standard complies strictly with international metrics (ISO 9001, CE, and AS4084 structural safety guidelines).
Modern logistics demand smart warehouses. Our stacking racks and heavy-duty configurations are designed from the ground up to integrate seamlessly with standard warehouse automation equipment (WCS/WMS platforms).
Our shuttle lanes maintain absolute horizontal linearity, critical for automatic radio shuttle units to travel smoothly. Automated rails are integrated directly into the structural cross-beams, ensuring zero deviation during high-speed travel.
Laser and visual-navigation Automated Guided Vehicles require strict structural clearances. We design our rack columns with chamfered baseplates, recessed anchor bolts, and color-contrasting paint profiles to allow sensors to orient easily, mitigating the risk of structural collisions.
For high-density, critical-load facilities, we offer integrated strain-gauge sensors that track micro-deflections in upright columns in real-time. This provides warehouse managers with preventative warning parameters prior to critical failure thresholds.
"By engineering racking systems to tolerate automated retrofitting, businesses can transition from manual forklifts to automated shuttle or crane systems without needing to replace the core steel structure, saving over 60% on upgrade cap-ex."
Nanjing Everack bridges the distance between state-of-the-art Chinese manufacturing and Northern Italian logistics sites. We have built a robust system of localized services to ensure projects are executed flawlessly.
We handle sea shipping logistics from Shanghai/Ningbo ports to Genoa or La Spezia. With clear DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) frameworks, we handle all customs, duties, and local freight, delivering directly to your site.
Working alongside certified Italian civil engineers, we provide structural calculation reports (Relazione di Calcolo) containing structural calculations required by local Italian authorities for industrial warehouse permitting.
Our networks of certified installation crews in Italy execute assembly according to EN 15635 standards, providing annual structural inspections and maintenance plans to ensure safety compliance.
