Self-supporting structures for high heights

Self-supporting structures, almost always intended for automatic warehouses, are the symbol of the design, engineering and production capabilities of Dalmine LS. Their structure is covered with special wall and roof panels, supported by the self-supporting racks themselves, which can be completed with additional photovoltaic panels in order to make the warehouse energy-independent. Walls and roof are anchored to galvanised tape shelving. The 100-120 and 140 mm posts allow 40 m height to be reached and they are very resistant to static and seismic loads.

Applications

The self-supporting structures of Dalmine LS, made with profiles obtained from galvanized strip, are also the ideal solution for temperature-controlled and refrigerated environments. The self-supporting warehouses occupy a reduced floor area and make maximum use of heights, which can range from 10 to 40 meters, in full safety of seismic regulations.

More info

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.
