Warehouse Racking Solutions
Industrial warehouse racks are storage systems for goods using load-bearing steel frames, designed according to ISO standards, serving manufacturing, distribution, and retail warehouses. In Vietnam, the demand for optimizing warehouse space and ensuring goods safety is driving businesses to switch from manual wooden racks to industrial steel racks, especially in the pharmaceutical (GSP), food, and logistics sectors.
What's special about industrial warehouse racks with a 5-year warranty?
Industrial warehouse racks with a 5-year warranty are product lines manufactured from hot-rolled galvanized steel or powder-coated steel, with a load capacity from 500kg to 3000kg per level. Việt POS commits to a 5-year warranty on the steel frame, 2 years on accessories, and provides free survey and installation support in 63 provinces.
Unlike common household racks, industrial warehouse racks must meet stringent standards for beam deflection (≤ L/200), weld strength, and corrosion resistance in cold storage or humid environments. With a 5-year warranty, businesses can be assured of the product's lifespan — in reality, hot-dip galvanized steel racks can be used for 15-20 years with regular maintenance. The rack systems supplied by Việt POS are designed for specific layouts and can be expanded with additional bays/levels when needed. See warehouse rack catalog for more details.
GSP cold storage racks for pharmaceuticals — standards and applications
GSP cold storage racks are stainless steel or powder-coated steel rack systems capable of withstanding sub-zero temperatures from -20°C to 0°C, meeting the Good Storage Practice (GSP) standards of the Ministry of Health. These racks typically have a load capacity of 300-800kg/level, a maximum height of 4m, suitable for pharmaceutical, vaccine, and biological product warehouses.
An 800m² pharmaceutical warehouse in District 12 needs to achieve GSP Level 3 for cold storage of medicines — the solution is GSP 304 stainless steel racks, 4 levels, 500kg/level load, combined with cold-resistant plastic pallets. Việt POS implemented this system with a 7-day installation period, ensuring GSP certification after inspection. Key factors include: sufficient spacing between levels for cold air circulation, anti-condensation rack surfaces, and the ability to disassemble for regular cleaning. Việt POS's warehouse rack solutions include design consultation according to GSP standards.
Selective Racks with 500-3000kg load capacity — technical specifications
Selective Racks are the most common pallet rack type, allowing direct access to each pallet, with load capacities from 500kg to 3000kg per level. Rack height can reach 12m, suitable for forklifts and warehouses with high ceilings.
| Rack Type | Load Capacity (kg/level) | Max Height (m) | Max Bays/Levels | Main Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light Selective Racks | 500-1000 | 6 | 2-3 | Spare parts, consumer goods warehouses |
| Medium Selective Racks | 1000-2000 | 8 | 2-4 | Food, beverage warehouses |
| Heavy Selective Racks | 2000-3000 | 12 | 3-5 | Industrial, steel warehouses |
| Drive-in Racks | 1000-2000 | 10 | 6-8 | High-density, homogeneous goods warehouses |
The above technical specifications are designed by Việt POS according to the specific requirements of each warehouse. Selective Racks can be combined with beam locks, safety pins, and anti-fall mesh to ensure safety. When selecting, it is necessary to calculate the actual load capacity (including goods and pallets), the lifting height of the forklift, and future expansion capability.
Survey & installation process for warehouse racks in 63 provinces
Việt POS implements a 5-step process: site survey, 3D drawing design, quotation, manufacturing, and installation. The entire process is carried out by certified technical staff, ensuring progress and occupational safety.
- Survey: Measure warehouse dimensions, assess floor conditions, electrical systems, entrances, and forklift aisles.
- Design: Create 3D renderings, optimize layout based on goods type, inbound/outbound frequency, and specific requirements (temperature, GSP).
- Quotation: Detailed breakdown of each item: frame, beam, pallet, accessories, transportation, installation.
- Manufacturing: Fabrication at an ISO 9001 certified factory, quality inspection before shipment.
- Installation: On-site assembly, acceptance testing with the customer, handover of warranty documents.
Currently, Việt POS has completed installations for over 200 projects in 63 provinces, from small 100m² warehouses to 5000m² logistics centers. The average time for a 500m² warehouse project is 10-15 days. See more warehouse rack solutions for specific industries.
Medium-duty racks — solutions for small and medium warehouses
Medium-duty racks have a load capacity of 200-500kg/level, height of 2-4m, suitable for retail warehouses, showrooms, and mini-supermarkets. These racks are typically used for storing boxed goods, components, or medium-sized products.
Medium-duty racks offer the advantages of easy assembly, flexible height adjustment, and lower cost compared to heavy Selective Racks. Việt POS provides medium-duty racks with options: powder-coated steel (blue/white), galvanized steel, with added dividers or sliding trays. For retail stores, medium-duty racks can be combined with display racks to optimize space for both storage and display.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are GSP warehouse racks? Are they mandatory for pharmaceutical warehouses?
GSP warehouse racks are rack systems that meet the Good Storage Practice (GSP) standards according to Circular 36/2016/TT-BYT. Racks must be made of non-corrosive, easy-to-clean materials, prevent cross-contamination, and ensure air circulation. For pharmaceutical warehouses, the use of GSP racks is mandatory to obtain GSP Level 3 certification. Việt POS supplies standard GSP 304 stainless steel and powder-coated steel racks, which can be independently inspected.
What does a 5-year warranty for warehouse racks include?
The 5-year warranty applies to the main steel frame (columns, beams) and structural welds. Accessories such as beam locks, safety pins, and anti-fall mesh are warranted for 2 years. The warranty does not cover damage due to overloading, forklift impact, or natural disasters. Việt POS will replace defective components free of charge and provide technical support throughout the warranty period.
How to calculate the appropriate warehouse rack load capacity?
Rack load capacity is calculated based on: maximum weight of goods per pallet, number of pallets per level, and inbound/outbound frequency. Basic formula: level load capacity = (pallet weight × number of pallets) × safety factor 1.25. For example, each level holds 2 pallets of 800kg → required load capacity = 2 × 800 × 1.25 = 2000kg. Việt POS recommends customers provide a list of goods and pallet dimensions for accurate design.
Are cold storage racks different from regular warehouse racks?
Cold storage racks must withstand sub-zero temperatures, high humidity, and condensation. Materials are typically stainless steel (inox 304/316) or hot-dip galvanized steel. Cold storage racks have a special design to prevent water accumulation, welds are treated against rust, and the spacing between levels is wider for cold air circulation. The lifespan of cold storage racks is about 20-30% shorter than regular racks due to the harsh environment, but with a 5-year warranty, businesses can use them with confidence.
How long does warehouse rack installation take?
Installation time depends on the warehouse size. Warehouses under 200m²: 2-3 days. Warehouses 200-500m²: 5-7 days. Warehouses over 500m²: 10-15 days. Việt POS deploys experienced teams, working Saturdays and Sundays if needed. The installation process complies with occupational safety, with technical supervision and acceptance testing for each item.
