Combining heavy-duty structural steel upright frames with overhead bridge cranes and monorails to solve high-density storage challenges across Philippine manufacturing hubs.
What is Crane-Supported Pallet Racking?
Crane Supported Pallet Racking (also referred to as Overhead Crane Integrated Storage or Rack-Supported Crane Buildings) is an advanced structural engineering system where top-running overhead travelling cranes (EOT cranes), gantry hoist rails, or automated stacker cranes are directly mounted onto or integrated within heavy-duty rack upright profiles. Unlike standalone pallet racking serviced purely by counterbalance or reach forklifts, crane-supported systems transmit both vertical dead loads and dynamic lateral crane braking forces through heavy-gauge Q235B/Q355B cold-rolled or hot-rolled structural steel columns.
Structural Crane Tie-In
Overhead crane runway beams (runway girders) are engineered directly onto the racking upright extension columns. This eliminates the need for separate structural building columns, maximizing floor space utilization by up to 38% in PEZA industrial facilities.
NSCP Seismic Zone 4 Compliance
Engineered specifically for the Philippines' high seismic activity. Systems incorporate heavy-duty baseplates, expanded expansion or chemical anchor bolts, and horizontal x-bracing aligned with NSCP 2015 building codes.
Extreme Load Capacity
Capable of supporting point loads from 1,000 kg up to 10,000 kg per layer or crane bay lift. Designed for heavy machinery dies, steel coils, injection molds, and heavy industrial raw materials.
Localized Application Scenarios in the Philippines
Tailored structural storage engineering designed for specific industrial zones, climactic challenges, and logistics nodes across the Philippine archipelago.
1. CALABARZON Industrial Belt (Laguna, Batangas, Cavite)
The manufacturing heartland of the Philippines houses automotive assembly plants, electronics manufacturing, and heavy metal stamping facilities in PEZA zones like Laguna Technopark and First Philippine Industrial Park (FPIP). Crane-supported racking allows heavy tooling dies, stamping coils, and motor blocks to be lifted directly from rack bays to production lines using overhead bridge cranes, bypassing narrow aisle forklift congestion.
2. Metro Manila & Bulacan Logistics & Cold Chains
With real estate costs exceeding ₱400–₱700 per square meter monthly in prime Metro Manila industrial hubs, vertical space optimization is critical. Combined with automated 4-way radio shuttle racking or double-deep beam configurations, crane-assisted rack systems maximize vertical height up to 24 meters while complying with strict local zoning height restrictions.
3. Metro Cebu & Mandaue Industrial Parks
Cebu's maritime, shipbuilding, and furniture export sectors require long-span cantilever crane racking and heavy-duty steel loft mezzanine platforms. Storage of raw lumber, steel pipes, and marine components is streamlined with top-mounted gantry hoists engineered to withstand coastal humidity.
4. Coastal Port Hubs & Typhoon-Resilient Installations (Davao & Subic)
Philippines coastal areas require specialized surface treatment against atmospheric corrosion. SolidFort applies heavy epoxy-polyester powder coating (exceeding 80–100 μm thickness) and optional hot-dip galvanizing to resist salt spray (ASTM B117 standards) in high-humidity port environments like Subic Freeport, CDO, and Davao.

Frequently Asked Questions by Philippine Buyers
Expert answers addressing floor loading, crane integration, seismic anchoring, PEZA permits, and pricing.
What floor slab thickness is required for crane-supported racking in the PH?
Because crane-supported racking transmits combined vertical loads and crane dynamic impact forces, concrete slab thickness typically ranges between 200 mm to 300 mm with heavy steel rebar reinforcement (30 MPa to 40 MPa compressive concrete strength). Our structural engineers evaluate your slab capacity prior to manufacturing.
How do you ensure seismic resistance under National Structural Code Philippines (NSCP)?
The Philippines is located in Seismic Zone 4. Our racking frames utilize high-tensile Q235B/Q355B cold-rolled steel profiles with oversized anchor baseplates, back-to-back row spacers, and vertical/horizontal X-bracing calculated per ANSI/RMI MH16.1 and local NSCP load factors.
Can top-running overhead cranes be retrofitted onto existing pallet racking?
No. Standard selective pallet racking columns are not calculated for dynamic lateral dynamic crane loads or impact deflections. Crane-supported racking requires reinforced upright profiles, specialized runway brackets, and structural tie-ins engineered specifically for crane wheel loads.
What is the typical manufacturing lead time for shipments to Manila or Cebu?
Standard pallet racking orders ship from our factory within 10 to 15 days. Complex engineered projects involving crane-supported profiles or automated ASRS components typically require 25 to 30 days. Shipping transit time to Manila Port is approximately 5–7 days.
Does SolidFort assist with PEZA tax exemptions and customs clearance documentation?
Yes. We provide complete commercial documentation, Certificate of Origin (Form E for ASEAN-China FTA tariff reduction), packing lists, and certified mill test certificates required by Philippine customs and PEZA enterprise guidelines.
What surface treatment options protect against high tropical humidity in coastal Philippines?
We offer high-durability epoxy-polyester powder coating (80–120 microns) and pre-galvanized or hot-dip galvanized finishes. These coatings withstand severe salt spray and high relative humidity without flaking or rusting.
