Engineered to comply with stringent US standards and optimized for high-density space conservation in metro distribution hubs.
The New York Metropolitan Area operates as one of the most complex logistical networks globally. With real estate valuations soaring and high-cube footprint availability at record lows in areas like Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, and upstate industrial parks near Rochester and Buffalo, traditional horizontal warehousing is no longer financially viable. The cost per square foot demands vertical optimization. This is where high-bay Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS) redefine the bottom line.
For industrial operators, expanding horizontally is constrained by zoning laws, physical layout limits, and astronomical land costs. A typical AS/RS installation utilizing high-density rack-clad structures allows companies to reduce their warehouse footprint by up to 70% while maintaining or even increasing total pallet capacity. By elevating operations vertically—sometimes up to 40 meters—NY facilities are successfully transforming their distribution capabilities, ensuring rapid fulfillment to meet the intense demands of the local consumer and industrial market.
Key Parameter for New York Facilities: Designing AS/RS racking for the New York region requires strict compliance with local building codes, including RMI (Rack Manufacturers Institute) standards and specific seismic design parameters mandated by New York State building laws.
The transition toward automated warehousing is a global industrial trend. While domestic systems integrators in North America provide software and localized engineering coordination, the manufacturing of heavy-duty, high-tolerance steel structures, stacker cranes, and automated shuttle systems relies on highly specialized exporters.
As an established exporter, Shenzhen Sunli Intelligent Logistics Equipment Co., Ltd. bridge this gap by offering precision-engineered racking and automation hardware that interfaces seamlessly with global Warehouse Management Systems (WMS). By manufacturing in high-capacity hubs under rigorous quality standards and exporting directly to major ports like the Port of New York and New Jersey, we deliver high-performance structural systems that represent a significant cost-to-value advantage over localized fabrication.
Founded in 2015, Shenzhen Sunli Intelligent Logistics Equipment Co., Ltd. has established itself as a premier global manufacturer of heavy-duty industrial racking and high-density smart warehouse solutions. Operating from our advanced 38,000 m² modern production facility, we bring over 12 years of industry experience and 8 years of dedicated international trade expertise.
Our manufacturing facility represents the pinnacle of heavy manufacturing technology, incorporating advanced automated steel-forming and robotic welding systems to meet the strict tolerances required by high-bay AS/RS systems. In high-bay automated racking, deviation tolerances are measured in millimeters; even a minor deflection can trigger system safety interrupts on high-speed stacker cranes. Sunli addresses this through structural integrity, rigorous materials testing, and ISO 9001/CE-certified production lines.
Our dedicated Quality Control team implements comprehensive inspection protocols: raw material load-bearing testing, non-destructive weld seam testing, and powder coating thickness analysis.
Developing custom structural modifications and updating integrated shuttle system components, outputting over 120 new products and mechanical improvements annually.
Serving major enterprise logistics operations across North America, Western Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, with full export compliance and logistics handling.

Sunli Racks are subjected to intensive engineering inspections prior to shipment using high-precision instruments.
Selecting the ideal AS/RS architecture depends on operational requirements, weight classifications, and throughput velocities. Sunli designs and manufactures key structural formats:
Our manufacturing process utilizes high-strength Q235B or Q355B structural steel profiles. Uprights are cold-rolled to precise profiles to ensure stiffness and safety under dynamic stresses. All beam-to-upright connectors utilize multi-claw locking mechanisms with safety pins, preventing accidental disengagement from crane operations.
The surface treatment consists of an electrostatic epoxy-polyester powder coating cured at high temperatures, offering superior wear, impact, and chemical resistance. For applications like cold-storage facilities in the Hunts Point Food Distribution Center in the Bronx, we recommend zinc galvanized steel configurations to prevent rust from condensation and humidity.
The industry is moving toward hybrid setups where static high-bay racking systems work alongside mobile automation. Our engineering team is currently focused on optimizing racking interfaces for:
