storlogi steel structure platform: professional customization that unlocks new value in warehousing space

In today’s highly competitive business environment, efficient use of warehouse space is increasingly urgent for enterprises. StorLogi leverages professional customization capabilities to offer a steel structure platform that, thanks to excellent performance and innovative design, provides tailored storage solutions and successfully unlocks new value from warehouse space.

一、Product Features

1. Double-layered architecture — double the usable space.

The StorLogi steel structure platform is built from Q235B steel and planned precisely according to the warehouse clear height. For a common warehouse with a 5 m clear height, a typical layout is an upper level of 2.2 m and a lower level of 2.8 m. The upper level is used for light storage with load capacity of 500–800 kg/m², suitable for cartons and small parts; the lower level is arranged as a forklift operation zone or medium-weight storage area with load capacity up to 1,500 kg/m², compatible with pallets and tote handling. With this double-layer design, storage area can increase from 1,200 m² to 2,400 m², improving space utilization by 100% — truly “one floor’s rent, two floors of space.”

2. Modular assembly — fast build and flexible expansion.

The platform uses a weld-free + snap-fit connection method; columns and deck plates are fixed by bolts + anti-loosening pins, greatly shortening construction time. For example, a 500 m² mezzanine can be completed in 7 days, reducing the schedule by 60% compared with a concrete mezzanine, and allowing construction while production continues to minimize operational disruption. The platform adopts a red-and-blue zoning design for visualized storage areas so staff can locate zones at a glance, improving picking efficiency by 30%. Modules support partial re-tiering and relocation reuse; component reuse rate exceeds 90%, and when business expands the enterprise can upgrade by simply adding columns and laying additional deck — saving roughly 40% of the cost compared with new construction.

3. Safety details in place — comprehensive operational protection.

For personnel protection, platform edges are fitted with 1.2 m red guardrails + yellow-black warning strips, and anti-slip tread plates with a coefficient of friction ≥ 0.6 to prevent slips. Stairs are designed at a 45° slope with anti-slip treads and 1.1 m handrails to ensure stability when handling boxes. Structurally, column bases are embedded on 20 cm concrete footings to isolate ground moisture; diagonal bracing is added at joints to withstand a force-8 typhoon, and vertical deviation under full load is ≤ 0.3°, far exceeding the national standard by about three times — providing solid safety for stored goods and personnel.

二、Design Principles

1. Biomimetic load-bearing — lightweight yet robust.

Main beams use an H-shaped steel with honeycomb cavities; this design reduces self-weight by 30% while a single main beam can bear a 2-ton concentrated load (equivalent to eight adults standing) without deformation across a 6 m span; deflection is ≤ L/200, stricter than the industry standard L/150. Columns use 120×60×2.0 mm C-shaped steel, with cross-sections optimized by structural simulation. A tapered (“waisted”) design maintains load capacity while improving lateral-bending resistance by 40%, ensuring the platform remains stable under heavy loads.

2. Human–machine collaborative layout — upper and lower operations do not interfere.

The lower level layout fully considers forklift operations: bottom clearance ≥ 200 mm to accommodate direct forklift entry; aisle widths ≥ 2.5 m, customizable to forklift turning radius to reduce collision risk. The upper level reserves AGV passageways and barcode-scanner slots for future integration into automated sorting systems. Pickers can move between levels quickly via stairs, reducing picking-path length by 50% and greatly improving operational efficiency.

3. Moisture- and corrosion-resistant design — suitable for varied climates.

For different regional climates, StorLogi applies an 80 μm epoxy-resin electrostatic powder coating; salt spray testing reaches 960 hours, equivalent to 10 years maintenance-free performance in humid environments such as Huizhou. Deck plates leave 5 mm expansion gaps to prevent thermal expansion and contraction deformation. Field tests show warehouse mold incidence dropped by 82%, effectively extending platform service life and protecting stored goods.

三、Core Advantages

1. Reasonable load-tiering — orderly storage.

The upper tier is ideal for light goods (electronic components, cartons), while the lower tier handles heavy items (pallets, large totes); the overall platform load-bearing capability reaches 2,000 kg/m². This light-vs-heavy separation ensures manual and mechanical operations do not interfere with each other, smoothing warehouse flows and improving overall operational efficiency.

2. Significant cost reduction and efficiency gains.

Construction’s weld-free, fire-free process means no production stoppage is required; completion in 7 days saves ~30% of construction costs vs. concrete mezzanines. The platform’s high reusability yields a 60% residual value after dismantling and recycling at year 10, whereas fixed concrete mezzanines have nearly zero residual value. Maintenance is also lower: powder-coated surfaces need no repainting and annual maintenance costs are ≤ ¥2,000, about 50% savings over traditional racking.

3. Green and compliant — worry-free operations.

StorLogi emphasizes environmental performance: steel recycling rate 80%, powder-coating process reduces VOC emissions by 90%, meeting many “green factory” certification requirements. The platform is delivered with structural safety inspection reports and load certificates; fire escape (stair width 1.2 m) and protective facilities meet standards, enabling smooth passage in safety inspections.

四、Economic Benefits

Choosing the StorLogi steel structure platform brings multiple economic benefits. First, by using vertical space with layered layouts, companies can expand storage capacity without renting larger warehouses, saving substantial rental costs. Second, clear design and zoned inventory management improve storage efficiency — clearer classification, easier retrieval, reduced search time, and faster turnover — indirectly increasing revenue. Third, robust structure reduces damage to goods, lowering losses from product damage.

When many enterprises face tight storage space and rising operating costs, the StorLogi steel structure platform — with its professional customization, distinctive product features, sound design principles, clear core advantages, and tangible economic benefits — becomes an ideal choice for improving storage capacity and cutting costs. It is more than just warehouse equipment; it is a strong support for companies’ digital transformation and efficient operations, laying a solid foundation for sustained development.
