How does StorLogi’s bridge-style corridor racking maximize warehouse output per square metre?

In today’s fiercely competitive business environment, efficient warehouse management and maximizing space utilization are key factors for companies to reduce costs and improve competitiveness. StorLogi Industrial Equipment Co., Ltd., a leading company in the industry with deep technical experience and sharp market insight, has launched an innovative bridge-style corridor racking system that provides practical and effective solutions to various warehouse challenges.

I. Core product features: structural innovation and functional integration
StorLogi’s bridge-style corridor racking is designed around “highly efficient use of space,” combining practicality and stability from industrial engineering to deliver three differentiated advantages:

1. Bridge-style stereoscopic structure design
By building a continuous bridge frame above the rack aisles, the upper space of traditional rack aisles (aisle widths 2.5–3.5 m depending on forklift operation needs) is converted into storage area. For pallet racking with heights ≥ 6 m, this can increase storage capacity by an additional 20%–30%, while the bridge structure also improves overall frame rigidity and reduces rack sway risk.

2. Flexible compatibility with handling equipment
The system supports mainstream warehouse vehicles such as counterbalance forklifts and reach-trucks, and adopts a single-side access, first-in-last-out (FILO) operating principle. A single forklift can service multiple rack rows, reducing equipment investment. Tests show that, for equivalent storage capacity, forklift travel distances are reduced by 40%, improving labor productivity.

II. Competitive advantages: cost optimization and performance assurance
Compared with traditional racking schemes, StorLogi’s bridge-style corridor racking demonstrates notable competitiveness across the life cycle:

1. Space utilization surpasses industry norms
– Floor utilization increased by 60%: by eliminating redundant aisles, a 1,000 m² warehouse can gain 300–500 additional storage positions (based on 1.2 m × 1.0 m pallets).
– Vertical utilization rate up to 85%: the top-of-rack design adapts to warehouses with clear heights of 5–12 m, improving vertical space utilization by 5%–10% over conventional racks.

2. Shorter investment payback
– Initial cost advantage: for the same storage capacity, rack procurement costs are 15%–20% lower than traditional schemes (due to fewer rack rows and reduced aisle planning).
– Long-term benefits: based on annual storage cost calculations, space savings can offset rack investment within three years; from year four onward, annual storage cost savings are about CNY 200,000 (example: a 10,000 m² warehouse).

3. Industrial-grade quality assurance
– Material standards: uprights use Q235B hot-rolled steel (thickness ≥ 2.5 mm); beams support ≥ 2 tonnes per level, and the system is tested at 1.5× design load.
– Safety design: standard features include anti-collision posts, limit rails, and shelf anti-fall devices. The system complies with GB/T 28576-2012 (“Specifications, dimensions and tolerances for industrial racking”) and has passed third-party structural safety testing.

III. Customer economic benefits: data-driven value uplift
StorLogi racking has been deployed across food, cold-chain, manufacturing and other sectors. Field data validate three core values:

1. Reduced warehousing costs
– Food company case: After deploying bridge-style corridor racking in an 8,000 m² warehouse, storage capacity rose from 12,000 to 20,000 pallet positions; annual rent savings amounted to CNY 1.8 million (based on CNY 30/m²/month).
– Cold-chain case: In cold storage, reducing aisle area cut refrigeration energy consumption by 12%, saving about CNY 150,000 per year.

2. Improved operational efficiency
– Throughput: per-forklift daily throughput increased from 120 to 180 pallets, and order response speed improved by 30%.
– Labor cost reduction: For the same workload, 1–2 fewer forklift operators are required, saving CNY 80,000–120,000 annually.

3. Inventory management gains
– With WMS integration and “digitally bound” locations, stocktaking error rates fell from 1.5% to 0.3%, inventory turnover improved 15%, and capital tied up was reduced by about 5%.

IV. Applicable scenarios and cooperation models
Core application areas:
1. Manufacturing: centralized storage of raw materials/finished goods (e.g., automotive parts, electronic components);
2. Food industry: bulk storage of single SKUs and FIFO management needs;
3. Cold-chain logistics: scenarios sensitive to cold-storage area costs;
4. Third-party logistics: public warehouses that need to rapidly increase space efficiency.

StorLogi’s bridge-style corridor racking system achieves a technical breakthrough in space optimization through its bridge structure and high-density storage scheme. Its core value is threefold: (1) by exploiting vertical layers above traditional aisles, it converts otherwise unused overhead space into effective pallet positions, enabling 40%–60% higher storage density per unit area when used with a through-layout; (2) modular components and structural optimization ensure load performance while reducing material use per pallet position, keeping life-cycle costs reasonable; (3) an open access interface and standardized connection design both support mainstream handling equipment and leave room for future intelligent upgrades. Validated across multiple industries, the system shows excellent adaptability and efficiency gains in cold-chain storage, FMCG distribution and heavy-equipment manufacturing — offering modern warehousing and logistics systems a solution that combines technical depth with broad practical applicability.
