Engineered static racking designs optimizing vertical clearance, heavy-duty floor load distribution, and multi-tier picking configurations.
In the contemporary global logistics landscape, storage real estate is at an absolute premium. In the Portuguese market, driven by the expansion of deep-sea ports like Porto de Sines, the growth of regional logistics networks around Lisbon (Alverca, Azambuja) and Porto (Leça da Palmeira), and a surging post-pandemic e-commerce sector, companies are facing unprecedented increases in cost per square meter. Building outward is no longer financially viable for many distributors, retailers, and 3PLs (Third Party Logistics). The resolution lies in high-density vertical development: Industrial Mezzanine Racking Systems.
Portugal stands as an essential maritime hub connecting Transatlantic shipping lanes with continental Europe. This geographical status has accelerated industrial investments in major trade parks, such as the logistics corridors in Setúbal, Coimbra, and Braga. However, local storage properties suffer from structural layouts with considerable height clearance but under-utilized floor footings. Industrial Mezzanine racking platforms effectively double or triple existing floor capacities without needing complex civil structural renovations or expensive relocations.
In addition, Portuguese manufacturers, particularly in automotive components (near Palmela and Mangualde), cork and wine distribution (within Vila Nova de Gaia and Alentejo), and retail food distribution networks, require high load capacities, rapid picking accessibility, and strict integration with industrial safety parameters. To service these demands, suppliers must offer engineered steel structures designed to comply with local seismic parameters, European standards, and structural fire protection mandates.
Portugal is characterized by diverse geological safety parameters, with southern areas and Lisbon situated in moderate-to-high seismic risk zones. Unlike simple shelving systems, industrial mezzanines must be treated as loaded load-bearing building structures. At Guanlongxing, our structural engineers design racking and platform systems in strict alignment with Eurocode 3 (EN 1993) for steel structure design and EN 15512 for steel static storage systems. Our design protocols take into calculations:
Globally, industrial warehousing is evolving from static storage to highly dynamic processing systems. Mezzanine platforms are increasingly combined with Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS), vertical spiral conveyors, and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs). Global logistics buyers are prioritizing systems with perfect flat-floor tolerances, structural deflection resilience, and modular configurations that allow expansion as automated technology advances. Guanlongxing addresses these demands by offering precision-fabricated components that seamlessly interface with automated systems.
Operating from our modern 28,600m² manufacturing facility, we implement vertical integration from raw steel coil processing to automated electrostatic powder coating.

Established in 2017, Guangdong Guanlongxing Storage Equipment Co., Ltd. has developed into a premier global exporter of heavy-duty mezzanine racking systems. Our production footprint of 28,600 m² provides the capacity to fulfill high-volume global contracts while maintaining cost efficiencies that local manufacturers cannot replicate.
Through raw material partnerships, we source structural-grade steel at competitive cost bases. Our engineering R&D team consisting of 62 structural specialists works to optimize steel configurations, reducing structural weight and raw-material costs while maintaining required safety coefficients.
We provide full OEM and ODM manufacturing services, designing and producing custom platforms, stairs, pallet gates, and racking systems customized to the demands of our European distribution partners.
Continuous innovation by our engineering group to meet changing safety codes.
Strict structural inspections including weld testing, powder coat thickness, and deflection checks.
Optimized flatpack sea shipping to Port of Lisbon, Leixões, and Sines with simple assembly guides.
Mill test certificates supplied with every project delivery to guarantee structural integrity.
Select from our range of structural racking systems, custom platforms, and medium-to-heavy-duty shelving units.
We don’t just manufacture storage equipment; we engineer custom spatial configurations. Our R&D team supports you from initial CAD planning through structural design and delivery to Portugal.
Send us your warehouse DWG drawings or basic dimensional plans. Our engineering department will design a functional layout within 48 hours, optimizing racking configurations, staircases, and loading gates to maximize vertical capacity.
Warehouses in Portuguese coastal areas (such as Matosinhos, Aveiro, and Sines) face high humidity and salinity. We use multi-stage surface treatments, including automated acid pickling and phosphatizing, followed by high-bake electrostatic powder coating to ensure reliable corrosion resistance.
All heavy mezzanine steel beams, columns, decking plates, and accessories are flat-packed and secured with metal steel strapping to prevent damage during sea transport. This maximizes container load efficiency and simplifies on-site assembly for your local installation team.
