Rack Clad Warehouse Systems

Optimize Space. Optimize Cost. Built for Flexibility.

A Rack Clad Warehouse is an advanced storage solution where the racking system itself forms the structural skeleton of the building—supporting the roof and walls without the need for a separate civil structure.

This design significantly reduces construction time and cost, maximizes vertical space, and seamlessly integrates with automation systems such as ASRS, conveyors, shutters, and AMRs—making it ideal for high-density, future-ready warehousing.

What Makes Rack Clad Warehouse Effective?

Integrated Design Efficiency
The racking structure supports both storage and the building envelope—eliminating the need for traditional columns and civil infrastructure.
Automation-Ready
Easily integrates with automated systems for storage and retrieval.
Customizable & Scalable
Modular in nature, rack clad structures can be expanded or adapted to suit business needs.
Cost and Time Efficient
Reduced civil work, faster deployment, and long-term operational savings.

Features and benefits

Cost and Time Savings

Rack clad buildings reduce costs by eliminating the need for a separate structural framework—since the racking itself supports the entire structure.

Space Optimization

Designed to maximize vertical storage space, ideal for high-bay applications. Absence of internal columns and integration with AS/RS systems boosts space utilization.

Adaptability and Flexibility

Compatible with various racking types, mezzanine levels, and automation systems. Can be configured for cold storage or specialized environments.

Reduced Civil Works

Minimal foundational and structural steel requirements simplify construction and reduce costs.

Potential for Automation & Expansion

Easily integrate robotic systems, conveyors, and AS/RS. Modular design allows for expansion or relocation with minimal disruption.

Improved Security

Fully enclosed structures with controlled access enhance protection for stored goods

Engineering Considerations

Seismic Safety
Structural design considers seismic zone, soil type, utilization factor, and peak ground acceleration.
Wind Safety
Wind loads are a critical part of the rack clad design process.
Design Loads
Structural calculations factor in specific material properties such as yield strength, tensile strength, and elastic modulus.

Thermal Effects
Cladding material expansion and contraction due to temperature changes is accounted for to prevent stress buildup.
Deflection Limits
Limits on panel bending and deformation are carefully considered in design.
Code Compliance
Systems are designed to meet applicable international standards, such as EN codes for adjustable pallet racking.
