25 Years of Racking Engineering, Now Focused on South America
Guangzhou Heda Shelves Co., Ltd. was founded in 2001 and today operates a 30,000 m² manufacturing base with more than 300 engineers, technicians and production staff. We design, fabricate and ship complete warehouse storage systems: pallet racking, industrial shelving, cantilever racks and steel mezzanines.
For South American buyers, that means one accountable partner from the first CAD drawing to the last anchor bolt: structural calculations that consider your site's seismic zone, corrosion protection matched to tropical or coastal climates, and container load plans that keep landed costs predictable.
- Free 3D rendering & CAD layout
- Seismic-aware structural design
- In-house cutting, punching & coating
- OEM & ODM for regional distributors

South America Coverage
Engineered for Your Ports, Codes and Climate
Importing racking from Asia is about more than price per ton. We plan each project around the realities South American warehouses face.
- 01Seismic loads: base plates, anchors and bracing are sized for the seismic data of your site, ready for review by your local engineer in Chile, Peru, Ecuador or Colombia.
- 02Humidity & corrosion: phosphating plus electrostatic powder coating as standard, with galvanized options for cold rooms and coastal sites.
- 03Landed-cost control: optimized container load plans and numbered components reduce freight cost and installation time.

FAQ
Questions South American Buyers Ask Us Most
Straight answers on logistics, engineering and after-sales support. Need more detail? Our engineers reply by email.
More FAQsDo you ship warehouse racking to South American ports?
Yes. We ship full-container loads from South China ports to Santos, Paranaguá, Itajaí, San Antonio, Valparaíso, Callao, Buenaventura, Cartagena, Guayaquil, Buenos Aires and Montevideo. Typical ocean transit is 30–45 days depending on the route, and every load plan is optimized to maximize container utilization while protecting the powder-coated finish.
Can your racking be engineered for seismic zones in Chile, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia?
Yes. Our engineers include the seismic parameters supplied by your project in the structural calculation and upgrade base plates, anchors, bracing and beam connectors accordingly. We recommend final verification by a local licensed engineer against the applicable national code, such as NCh 433 / NCh 2369 in Chile, E.030 in Peru or NSR-10 in Colombia.
What is the typical production lead time?
With a monthly capacity of 30,000 tons, most standard racking orders are produced within 2–4 weeks after drawing approval. Large mezzanine or high-bay projects are scheduled in phased batches to match your construction timeline.
How is installation handled for projects in South America?
Every shipment includes numbered components, installation drawings and assembly manuals. Our team provides remote video guidance for local installers, and on-site supervision can be arranged for larger or more complex projects.
How do you protect racking in humid tropical or coastal warehouses?
All steel goes through pickling, phosphating and electrostatic powder coating. For cold storage, coastal or high-humidity locations such as northern Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador, galvanized components and enhanced coating specifications are available on request.
What information do you need to design my warehouse layout?
Please share your warehouse floor plan, clear ceiling height, pallet or carton dimensions, load per pallet, forklift type and lift height, number of SKUs, inventory rotation method (FIFO or LIFO) and the seismic zone of the site. Our engineers then prepare a free 3D layout and CAD drawing.
"Every layout we send is checked by an engineer who has designed real warehouses, not generated from a template. If a rack would not pass our own inspection, it does not leave the factory."
