Engineered specifically for maximum cubic utilization, high load capacity, and seamless pallet handling across European distribution networks. Fully compatible with Euro-pallets (EPAL 1 - 1200×800mm and EPAL 2 - 1200×1000mm).
The Czech Republic has cemented its position as the premier logistical heart of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Positioned along major European transit arteries—including the D1 motorways connecting Prague, Brno, and Ostrava, as well as the D5 link to Germany—Czech industrial parks (such as CTParks, P3 Parks, and VGP Parks) face immense demand for high-density cubic storage.
Rising industrial land acquisition costs in key regions such as Středočeský kraj, Jihomoravský kraj, and Pilsen have pushed logistics operators away from horizontal warehouse expansion. Instead, forward-thinking 3PL providers, automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and e-commerce platforms (like Alza.cz and Mall.cz) are leveraging Multi-Tier Pallet Racking and Raised Mezzanine Structures to double or triple usable floor area within the exact same structural footprint.
Engineered specifically to accommodate standard Euro Pallets (EPAL 1: 1200 x 800 mm) and EPAL 2 (1200 x 1000 mm), our multi-tier racking systems fully integrate vertical walkway levels, integrated staircases, conveyor chutes, and automated pallet drop zones. This architectural capability ensures full compliance with local building regulations while dramatically slashing operational cost per stored unit.
Manufactured using premium cold-rolled Q355B steel (equivalent to European S355 Structural Steel). Provides superior structural yield strength, ensuring vertical stability under extreme multi-level loading conditions up to 4,500 kg per beam level.
Designed strictly to European structural standards (EN 15512, FEM 10.2.02, and EN 1993 Eurocode 3). Complete with limit state design methodology, second-order global elastic analysis, and seismic stability verifications tailored to Czech regional geology.
Options include advanced electrostatic thermosetting epoxy powder coating (70–90 micron thickness) or hot-dip galvanization conforming to ISO 1461. Exceptional corrosion protection designed for humid environments or cold storage facilities down to -30°C.

| Drive-In / Drive-Thru | High (75% - 80%) | Low (Single SKU per lane) | Counterbalance Truck | Raw Material Bulk Storage, Seasonal Agricultural Stores |
As a direct manufacturing partner to international EPC contractors, warehouse integrators, and logistics directors, SolidFort engineers localized structural designs tailored to specific regional industrial sectors in Czechia:
Supporting Tier-1 and Tier-2 automotive component suppliers with heavy-duty multi-tier racks integrated with heavy mesh decking and drop gates. Designed to store heavy metal Gitterbox containers (DIN 15155) carrying loads up to 1,500 kg per position.
Equipping fast-paced fulfillment centers with multi-level catwalk systems featuring steel grating or high-density timber floors, enabling multi-level manual piece picking alongside automated conveyor loops.
Providing heavy-duty cantilever racks and structural steel stack racks engineered to handle long profiles, steel tubes, and heavy machinery castings with high dynamic safety factors.
Deploying automated Radio Shuttle racking systems utilizing specialized low-temperature lithium-iron-phosphate battery shuttles capable of continuous operating cycles down to -30°C.
Equipped with 24 continuous cold-roll forming lines, automated robotic welding stations (OTC Japan), and dual continuous powder coating lines. We maintain monthly capacity exceeding 5,000 metric tons of finished steel rack components.
Full logistical support including container loading optimization (using 40ft High Cube containers), sea freight to Hamburg/Koper, rail transfer to Prague/Metrans terminals, customs clearance, and DDP delivery directly to site.
Our structural engineering team provides complimentary 2D CAD layout drawings, 3D structural rendering, and comprehensive Load Application and Rack Configuration (LARC) reports within 24–48 hours of initial inquiry.
Yes. All racking systems engineered by SolidFort strictly adhere to ČSN EN 15512 (Steel static storage systems - Adjustable pallet racking systems - Principles for structural design), as well as FEM 10.2.02 and EN 1993 Eurocode 3. Third-party structural design load calculations are provided with every engineered project.
Standard production takes 10 to 15 days from design sign-off. Transit time from export port to European main ports (such as Hamburg or Koper) is approximately 28–32 days, followed by rail feeder connection directly to Czech intermodal logistics terminals (Prague, Mělník, or Ostrava).
Yes. In accordance with local work safety laws (such as Government Regulation No. 101/2005 Sb.), upright frames are anchored using high-grade mechanical expansion or chemical anchors. Detailed minimum slab thickness (typically 150mm–200mm of C20/25 concrete) and floor strength requirements are defined on our assembly drawings.
Our multi-tier systems can be specified with open-mesh steel grating (50% to 70% open area) to allow complete sprinkler water penetration as required by EN 12845 fire suppression guidelines. We also supply integrated kickplates, safety handrails (1100mm height with mid-rail), and self-closing safety loading gates.
For standard EPAL 1 pallets (1200 x 800 mm) loaded broadside-on, a standard 2700mm beam length accommodates 3 pallets side-by-side with required 75mm side clearance. For 2 pallets per bay, a 1800mm or 2200mm beam length is utilized. Frame depths are standardized at 1100mm to allow proper 50mm front/rear pallet overhang.
Absolutely. We provide customized electrostatic powder coating in any RAL color profile. Standard combinations include RAL 5015 Blue for upright frames and RAL 2004 Pure Orange for beams. Protective coatings can also be tailored for high-humidity or cold-room application.
