A rack-clad building turns the structural steel of a racking system into the load-bearing frame of a complete storage facility. Our company will assist you in finding the best all-inclusive warehouse and storage facility. Our rack-clad buildings save money compared to regular warehouse buildings with racks attached to them. In addition to providing great storage facilities, the uprights of our rack systems act as substructures to support roofs, and provide an opportunity to add side walls to the building.
We have assisted our customers to build more than 1,000 rack-clad buildings, and all designs of our buildings are customised according to the clients' needs. The buildings can be designed to utilise cantilever racks, pallet racks or a combination of both. Trapezoidal sheets or light panels can be used for roofs, while closed buildings can be designed using panels with doors or rolling gates. You can decide what to store, and we offer a variety of designs and constructions that will satisfy your needs.

Cantilever rack-clad buildings
Roof construction of cantilever rack-clad building is assembled from uprights that are cut in an inclined angle according to the roof profile. Uprights of cantilever racks are manufactured using IPE steel sections, that have high load capacity and used as the roof supports.
Rack-clad buildings can be erected with a lean-to or saddle roof. Rain gutter can be included in the roofing construction, as well as wall cladding, trapezoidal sheets, ISO sound insulation panels or weather-protection systems mounted to the back side of the rack.

In the same way that cantilever racking covers our buildings, the uprights of our pallet racking are hot-rolled U profiles which carry the loads of the roof and wall structures. We provide all consulting, planning, production and assembling services, considering various climate and earthquake zone requirements in order to anchor buildings effectively. The uprights of the roofing racking are cut diagonally and then joined with roof profiles.
The buildings can be constructed as open or fully enclosed halls with doors and gates. Various roofing designs can be achieved based on the land use and rainwater drainage conditions.
