Explore our high-performance double-sided, custom heavy-duty, and boutique retail shelving systems engineered for structural load integrity and space optimization.
Nanjing Ciho Racks Co., Ltd. is an industry-leading, professional manufacturer and exporter specializing in industrial warehouse storage systems, engineering-grade selective pallet racks, and high-performance commercial retail gondola shelving systems. Backed by years of manufacturing expertise and structural engineering innovation in the material handling sector, we deliver scalable, code-compliant, and cost-effective modular storage frameworks designed for the world’s most demanding commercial environments.
Our expansive product portfolio spans selective pallet racks, drive-in racks, cantilever systems, structural steel mezzanine platforms, longspan boltless shelving, carton flow systems, and highly customized warehouse-retail hybrid shelving. Designed from the ground up to achieve maximum volumetric space utilization and optimal warehouse logistics efficiency, our heavy-duty rack and retail installations support global distribution centers, automated fulfillment hubs, pharmaceutical supply chains, food and beverage retailers, and multi-tier e-commerce logistics parks.
At Ciho Racks, our competitive edge lies in our strict quality assurance protocol. By leveraging premium structural steel grades (including Q235B and Q355), advanced automated robotic welding systems, and an eco-friendly automated electrostatic powder-coating line, every structural component we produce is certified for long-term load safety, impact resistance, and durability. We partner closely with international engineering consultants, general contractors, and global procurement agents to provide tailor-made, end-to-end solutions from layout planning and structural analysis to factory production and localized logistics delivery.
In modern commercial environments, gondola shelving is no longer viewed as a simple utility. Major multi-national retailers (such as supermarkets, hypermarkets, and home improvement warehouses) treat display shelving as a strategic asset. Choosing the right industrial gondola shelving factory involves analyzing structural engineering specs, material composition, load-bearing margins under Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL) principles, and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Global procurement teams must balance initial capital expenditure (CAPEX) with operational longevity. Substandard retail shelving systems constructed from inferior hot-rolled or thin-gauge steel present catastrophic liabilities, including shelving deflection, frame bending under heavy loading, and paint chipping which accelerates oxidation. By procuring from a verified manufacturer like Nanjing Ciho Racks, enterprises secure high-tensile cold-rolled steel profiles that provide long fatigue life and high resistance to structural impact from shopping carts and inventory handling equipment.
When selecting gondola system suppliers, key engineering specifications dictate field performance. For instance, the gauge of the upright post (typically 1.5mm to 2.5mm) and the configuration of the back panel (whether slatwall, perforated pegboard, solid steel plate, or wire mesh) directly impact dynamic load bearing and store configuration flexibility. Double-sided gondolas serve as the backbone of open retail spaces, balancing display loads across a central vertical column, whereas single-sided wall bays must be anchor-secured to ensure anti-topple stability in high-traffic commercial zones.
Optimizing vertical shelf density is a primary driver in reducing real estate costs. Adjustable bracket teeth (engineered with 25mm, 32mm, or 50mm pitch increments) allow retail operations to configure customized vertical shelf spacing, matching merchandise dimensions tightly. This eliminates wasted spatial volume and optimizes warehouse-to-store logistics flow. By utilizing multi-position brackets (adjustable at 0°, 15°, or 30° tilt angles), store managers can align items to optimize the consumer's viewing angle while maintaining maximum load limit integrity.
Different retail and warehousing environments require tailored racking specifications. Nanjing Ciho Racks designs sector-specific configurations that handle diverse load and spatial requirements.

Engineered specifically for wholesale bulk retailers like Costco and Sam’s Club, ensuring forklifts can place bulk pallets directly above active commercial shopping aisles safely and efficiently.
From metallurgical verification of raw materials to automated cold roll forming and structural welding, explore our full-spectrum manufacturing workflow.
Our raw cold-rolled steel coils undergo strict visual and metallurgical inspections before entering production. Upright profiles are cold-formed in-house using automated roller mills to ensure high dimensional accuracy and eliminate structural stress points. CNC-controlled punching machines punch clean holes at precise pitches (25mm or 50mm) for easy shelf installation.
Our robotic welding cells use precision MIG and spot welding to attach brackets, base feet, and reinforcements. Automatic welding ensures consistent weld depth and eliminates porosity, preventing joint failures. The welded components are then pre-treated through a multi-stage phosphate bath to remove scale and oil before applying an electrostatic powder coat. This thermosetting epoxy powder coating is cured in a drying oven at 180°C to 200°C, producing a smooth, scratch-resistant finish with excellent corrosion protection.
The retail landscape is changing rapidly, driven by automated inventory tracking and carbon reduction targets. Nanjing Ciho Racks is updating its manufacturing processes to align with these industry shifts. Our development roadmap focuses on integrating structural strength with dynamic retail technology:
We design customized shelf fronts that easily accept digital pricing strips and smart electronic shelf labels (ESL). This enables real-time price updates and automated product positioning, helping retailers transition to smart store layouts.
Our modern gondola designs feature built-in wire routing channels to support under-shelf LED lighting. Low-voltage power tracks route safely through the upright posts, keeping cables hidden and making it easy to install or adjust shelves.
To help clients meet environmental and scope 3 emissions targets, we use lead-free, VOC-free powder coatings. We also focus on scrap steel recycling during production to minimize waste.
Warehouse and retail operations carry inherent structural safety risks. A collapse in a busy retail environment can lead to significant liabilities and damage. To protect warehouse staff and shoppers, Nanjing Ciho Racks complies with major international structural standards, including:
We test and verify our upright structures to comply with Australian AS 4084 standards, ensuring safety and performance in the Asia-Pacific region.
Our products are designed to meet FEM 10.2.02 design specifications and European Union building codes, ensuring safety under static loading, wind forces, and seismic activity.
For the North American market, our systems comply with RMI specifications for industrial steel storage racks, ensuring reliability under heavy workloads.
