Cold Storage Racking Case Study | DT RACKING

High risks of icing, corrosion, and product spoilage? Extreme cold is the ultimate test for racking durability!

Hi, I'm XINGDONG, your steel racking expert. Today, let’s explore core solutions for cold storage challenges.

Pain Points & Solutions

🧊 Pain Point 1: Brittle Steel at Low Temperatures

Standard Q235 steel becomes brittle below -20°C, risking fractures under impact and reduced load capacity.

Solution: Q355D Low-Temperature Steel

  • Fine-grain structure maintains toughness even at -40°C
  • Ensures stable structural strength

❄️ Pain Point 2: Condensation & Ice Buildup

Freeze-thaw cycles cause ice accumulation, adding up to 500kg/m² of excess weight—bending beams dangerously.

Solution: Advanced Protection & Drainage

  • 120μm powder coating seals against moisture
  • Wire mesh decking enables instant ice drainage

Integrated Design Highlights

🚛 Drive-In Pallet Racking

  • Expansion joints and narrow-aisle guides ensure forklift safety
  • Deep-lane FIFO configurations maximize expensive cold space

🤖 4-Way Shuttle Automation

  • Fully utilizes vertical space
  • Unmanned entry/exit minimizes human heat load

The Results

✔️ +40% increase in pallet capacity
✔️ Zero corrosion after 2 years of operation
