The self-supporting metal shelving system supports the weight of the stored goods, the handling devices and the entire covering structure of the warehouse, while resisting external, atmospheric and seismic agents (snow, wind, seismic movements etc.).

The Dalmine LS self-supporting structures are particularly suitable for reducing the footprint, as they are built in height and make maximum use of all available space. With a height ranging from 10 to 40 meters, the construction constraints are determined solely by the applicable regulations and the structural capacity of the transloaders.

In addition, since there are no walls, the self-supporting warehouses have a low impact on the plant layout.

The self-supporting metal racks, installed on a concrete platform, can be configured for single, double or multiple depth storage. Depending on the customer’s requirements, various options are available for ventilation, lighting, temperature control and fire protection. In addition, self-supporting warehouses are ideal for temperature controlled or refrigerated environments.

Relying on the self-supporting racking for large heights Dalmine LS brings some advantages:

• The complete coating of self-supporting warehouses with tamping panels avoids the construction of a new building;
• The roof of the self-supporting shelving can be completed with solar panels to make the warehouse energy-efficient;
• Complete optimization of spaces and heights, in compliance with current regulations;
• High productivity and continuity of logistics flows;
• Excellent integration with traditional warehouses.
