Industrial Context

Serving the Milanese & Lombardy Logistics Hub

Milan, as the capital of the Lombardy region, represents the economic engine of Italy, accounting for a massive share of the nation's industrial machinery exports, steel processing, and design-led manufacturing sectors.

In this highly competitive industrial environment, maximizing floor space while optimizing heavy product storage is crucial. Industrial operators located across primary logistics zones such as Piacenza, Lodi, Novara, and the immediate metropolitan area of Milan require high-performance, structurally sound storage systems to handle long, heavy, and awkward loads. Cantilever racking represents the definitive engineering solution for stockpiling items like structural steel tubing, aluminum profiles, timber packs, heavy coils, and machinery components.

Our mission as a premier global racking exporter is to supply the Milan market with robust, EU-certified industrial racking. We design storage infrastructure that satisfies local regulatory requirements while delivering the seismic protection and structural efficiency essential to high-density modern warehouse systems.

European Standards & Trends

Developments in the European Cantilever Storage Industry

The European warehousing landscape is undergoing rapid modernization, fueled by the demand for automation, sustainable steel manufacturing, and tighter work safety guidelines. For Milanese logistics operations, the transition toward high-bay cantilever systems integrated with Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and narrow-aisle reach trucks is setting new standards.

Key developments shaping the market include:

  • Compliance with EN 15635 & NTC 2018: Italian storage facilities must strictly adhere to national safety standards (NTC 2018) governing earthquake-resistant design, alongside the European standard EN 15635, which regulates the application and maintenance of steel storage equipment.
  • Optimized Structural Deflection Ratios: Because cantilever arms project horizontally from vertical columns without front supports, calculating deflection limits under static loads is paramount to ensuring forklift safety.
  • Corrosion Protection: Milanese industrial hubs, experiencing humid continental climates, demand durable powder coatings or hot-dip galvanized finishes for long-lasting rust prevention in outdoor storage yards.
Racking Component Standard Specification Seismic Compliance (Lombardy Region)
Column Profiles Cold-formed or IPE structural steel sections Calculated under NTC 2018 seismic standards
Cantilever Arms Tapered sections, pin-connected or bolted with safety pins Engineered to prevent arm slippage under seismic drift
