The state of São Paulo stands as the economic powerhouse of South America, representing over 30% of Brazil’s national GDP. As global supply chains adjust to regionalized hubs and the massive expansion of digital commerce, the demand for industrial real estate in critical sub-markets such as Guarulhos, Campinas, Cajamar, and the ABC region has reached unprecedented heights. This surging demand has driven warehouse rental prices upward, making efficient footprint utilization a core business necessity rather than a simple operational choice.
For third-party logistics (3PL) providers, e-commerce distributors, and manufacturing operations based in São Paulo, the financial cost of expansion is high. Converting to high-density vertical solutions is the most sustainable approach to scaling operations. Industrial mezzanine rack systems solve this challenge by multiplying available square meters without requiring expensive renovations or relocation. By engineering robust multi-tier platforms directly onto heavy-duty racking, companies can leverage vertical height, transforming underutilized overhead space into valuable picking, storage, or assembly areas.
Modern industrial storage systems have evolved beyond simple static shelving. Today’s industrial landscape demands smart, adaptable solutions integrated with structural calculations. Our systems utilize Q235B high-grade structural steel, cold-rolled to precise profile shapes to deliver exceptional load performance while optimizing raw material weight.
Key advancements in mezzanine rack engineering include:
Shenzhen Sunli Intelligent Logistics Equipment Co., Ltd., founded in 2015, is a specialized developer and manufacturer of high-load industrial racking and automated storage solutions. Operating from a fully modernized 38,000 m² production facility, we apply over 12 years of structural engineering experience to supply robust warehousing equipment globally. Our manufacturing processes utilize automated rolling lines, high-precision laser cutting, and robotic welding to ensure consistently tight tolerances.
Our quality assurance process is managed by a team of 35 QC professionals. Every production run undergoes extensive verification, including steel chemical composition analysis, weld ultrasonic testing, and dry film thickness testing on our electrostatic powder coating lines. This level of quality management ensures that our structural systems consistently support dynamic loads up to 2000 kg/sqm under constant operational stress.
Deploying heavy industrial mezzanine racking in Brazil requires strict compliance with local safety and engineering codes. Our engineering team designs all racking and structural platforms in accordance with ABNT NBR 14762 (Dimensioning of Cold-Formed Steel Structures) and ABNT NBR 15524 (Steel Storage Systems). This ensures calculations for axial load capacity, seismic stability, and bending tolerances are properly validated.
Additionally, we design our systems to comply with NR-11 (Transport, Handling, Storage, and Material Handling Safety) and NR-12 (Machinery and Work Equipment Safety). These safety standards ensure secure walking surfaces, proper stair designs, safety gate mechanisms, and impact-resistant upright guards are integrated into every mezzanine layout.
Importing large industrial steel structures into the São Paulo metropolitan area requires coordinated logistics. Our logistics department coordinates container shipments directly to the Port of Santos (Porto de Santos), managing container stuffing to maximize space and prevent scratching or bending during ocean transport.
We prepare all export documentation, including detailed packing lists, mill certificates, and bill of lading (B/L) information, to facilitate clearance through Brazilian customs. We also provide engineering drawings and calculation packages to support your local engineering team in securing local building permits and fire safety approvals.
High-grade Q235B and Q355B cold-rolled carbon steel, certified for structural capacity.
Standard design configurations support loads from 500 kg/sqm to 2000 kg/sqm uniform load.
Electrostatic powder coating (60-80 microns thickness) providing long-term corrosion protection.
Uprights are available in various web and flange designs: 80x60, 90x70, 100x80, and 120x95 mm sizes.
Options include galvanized steel panels, heavy steel grating, or high-density timber decking.
Safety parameters include column guards, heavy structural handrails, and self-closing gate units.
To address rising labor costs and the need for higher throughput, our mezzanine structures can be designed to support AGV travel lanes. Special structural reinforcements reduce deck vibration, ensuring consistent laser navigation performance. Joint gaps, floor deflection ratios, and surface coatings are optimized to support continuous, unmanned material transport across the mezzanine deck.
Integrating a mezzanine rack with automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) creates a highly efficient fulfillment environment. By utilizing computerized cranes and shuttle storage units on lower or upper levels, warehouses can run continuous inventory processes. Our engineering team aligns the structural frame with the tolerances required for high-speed automated machinery.
