The Greater Paris region (Île-de-France) stands as one of Europe’s most critical logistics crossroads, fueled by the Seine Valley corridor, the Haropa Port network, and major consumer hubs surrounding Paris. However, logistics operators, manufacturing plants, and construction supply depots face intense land scarcity and soaring real estate costs. Maximize vertical space efficiency is no longer an option—it is a survival necessity. For organizations storing long, heavy, or unconventional profiles (such as timber, structural steel tubes, aluminum profiles, plastic pipes, and automotive chassis components), traditional pallet racking systems fall short. This is where high-performance cantilever racking systems play a pivotal role.
Whether your warehouse is located in the industrial zones of Val-d'Oise (95), Seine-et-Marne (77), or the key distribution parks near Roissy Charles de Gaulle and Orly, our heavy-duty cantilever structures provide uninterrupted horizontal storage space. By eliminating the front vertical uprights that restrict load lengths in standard pallet racks, cantilever systems allow for flexible placement of variable-length products, substantially increasing storage density. As a premier global manufacturer, we customize cantilever arms and columns to integrate seamlessly with standard side-loaders, multi-directional forklifts, and automated guided vehicles (AGVs), providing an unmatched blend of structural safety and high throughput.
When engineering load-bearing steel systems, precision calculations prevent catastrophic structural failures. Shenzhen Sunli Intelligent Logistics Equipment Co., Ltd. designs and manufactures cantilever racks utilizing premium structural steel grades, including Q235B and Q355B (highly equivalent to European S235JR and S355JR structural steel grades). Our engineering design process incorporates rigorous finite element analysis (FEA) to simulate load distributions, seismic forces (under French seismic regulations for zone classification), and dynamic impact forces from forklift operations.
Our heavy-duty cantilever systems feature a variety of column sections (both roll-formed and hot-rolled H-beams) depending on vertical clearance and load requirements. The cantilever arms are secured to the columns using high-strength grade 8.8 or 10.9 structural bolts, featuring customizable arm angles (standard 2° upward slope) to prevent long goods from rolling off. The deflection limits of our arms are engineered strictly within $L/200$ to $L/300$ parameters, ensuring zero permanent deformation under full capacity. Additionally, we provide safety accessories such as removable end-stops, base protectors, guide rails for narrow-aisle trucks, and custom arm linings (polyurethane or rubber) to prevent surface scratches on high-value pipes or anodized aluminum profiles.
Established in 2015, Shenzhen Sunli Intelligent Logistics Equipment Co., Ltd. operates a highly automated 38,000 m² smart manufacturing facility in China. Operating under Factory 4.0 paradigms, we feature fully automated CNC roll-forming lines, advanced robotic welding cells, and a computerized electrostatic powder coating line. By combining our 12 years of industry experience and 8 years of international trade expertise, we bridge the gap between high-precision Chinese steel manufacturing and rigorous European deployment standards.
Our annual export revenue ranges between $18 million and $25 million, proving our capacity to handle massive capital projects for large-scale third-party logistics (3PL) providers, global construction suppliers, and heavy industrial manufacturers. With a team of 35 dedicated QC professionals and 28 skilled R&D engineers, we control every single phase of the supply chain—from raw material testing (load-bearing and metallurgical analysis) to weld seam ultrasonic inspection, and final coating thickness validation. We introduce over 120 new products and structural improvements annually, ensuring our clients receive the most advanced and cost-effective racking designs available globally.
In France, structural safety is strictly regulated. Warehouse managers must comply with safety norms enforced by the CARSAT (Caisse d'Assurance Retraite et de la Santé au Travail) and the recommendations of the INRS (Institut National de Recherche et de Sécurité), specifically publication ED 771. These recommendations dictate load placard installations, regular rack audits (usually in line with EN 15635), and mandatory clearance zones between columns and handling equipment.
Shenzhen Sunli guarantees that all custom designs engineered for the French market are shipped with detailed assembly documentation, load capacity certificates, and safety markings in French. We partner with local engineering offices and certified structural assembly teams in Paris and neighboring regions. This network enables us to provide complete end-to-end services, including initial site surveys, load-bearing calculations, seismic compliance reports, municipal planning assistance, professional installation, and final technical sign-off by accredited third-party inspectors (e.g., Bureau Veritas or Apave).
