Engineered Solutions for Non-Standard Storage Demands
Standard pallet racks and light shelving cannot solve every warehouse challenge. Non-uniform cargo, bulky industrial profiles, complex floor layouts, and strict workplace protection mandates require high-level structural calculations and bespoke manufacturing.
MECALUX RACKING designs and delivers specialised solutions that adapt to your precise weight, volume, and operational flow. Every project is fully verified by our engineering departments, meeting rigorous European (EN/FEM) and international load-bearing standards.
Specialised Warehouse Systems
Explore our proven product lines designed to handle unique cargo profiles and demanding warehouse architectures.
Mezzanine Floors
Industrial structural mezzanines transform unused vertical headroom into functional storage, order picking areas, or administrative offices without civil construction.
- Surface Multiplier: Doubles or triples usable facility square metres
- Load Capacity: Custom-engineered up to 2,000 kg/m² or higher
- Decking Options: High-density wood panels, steel grating, or chequered plate
- Integration: Equipped with safety handrails, stairs, and pallet drop gates
Long & Bulky Cargo Cantilever Racking
Engineered specifically for long, bulky, or awkward materials such as steel beams, timber packs, plastic pipes, and sheet metal, providing column-free continuous storage levels.
- Configurations: Single-sided wall runs or double-sided central runs
- Load Capability: Light, medium, and ultra-heavy structural arms
- Adjustability: Arms adjust on pitch without cutting or welding
- Accessories: End stops, arm dividers, and outdoor canopies available
Wire Mesh Partitions & Cages
Robust modular perimeter fencing, safety enclosures, and secured storage cages designed to segregate hazardous automation machinery and protect high-value stock.
- Compliance: Meets Machinery Directive and industrial safety enclosure rules
- Visibility: Transparent wire design provides clear sightlines and ventilation
- Security: Keyed, electronic, or padlock access doors with interlock options
- Installation: Rapid bolted assembly with modular, reconfigurable panels
Special Projects & Custom Structures
When off-the-shelf racking cannot meet complex operational constraints, MECALUX RACKING calculates, develops, and installs fully bespoke industrial steel systems.
- Engineering: 3D FEA stress simulations and dynamic structural calculations
- Special Applications: Boat dry stacks, hanging garment rails, reel & coil racks
- Manufacturing: 12 dedicated steel manufacturing plants ensuring high precision
- Turnkey: Complete supervision from initial architectural audit to handover
