Global Supply Chain Partners
Established in 2016, Dongguan Hui Lian Intelligent Warehouse Equipment Co., Ltd. has established itself as an industry leader. The company specializes in the end-to-end design, production, and supply of high-grade custom racking configurations and intelligent warehouse solutions. Our expertise spans 15 years of industry experience, backed by an annual export revenue of US$18 million and 8 years of export operations across North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Australia, and South America.
The Chinese Manufacturing Edge: Scale, Precision & Efficiency
The global dominance of Chinese racking manufacturers stems from integrated industrial clusters, access to high-grade steel, and automated manufacturing processes. Located in Dongguan, the hardware manufacturing capital of China, Hui Lian combines advanced material technology with unparalleled production capacity.
Raw Material Integration
We source premium, certified steel grades (specifically Q235B and Q355B structural steel) directly from top-tier domestic mills. This raw material security ensures stable yield strength and long-term structural integrity under variable load pressures.
Automated Fabrication
Utilizing laser roll forming, automated spot welding, and robotic powder coating lines, we maintain dimensional tolerance thresholds below 0.5mm. This degree of accuracy is crucial for seamless compatibility with automated retrieval systems (AS/RS).
Consolidated Value Chain
With a network of over 850 verified supply chain partners, we guarantee reliable lead times and material price stability. Our clients benefit from direct-from-factory pricing combined with high quality control standards.
Step-by-Step Production Process & Advanced Machinery
Quality is built into every stage of the manufacturing process. From raw material inspection to automated coating and precision QA, here is how we guarantee the durability of our industrial storage products.

Global Enterprise Procurement Requirements
Procurement heads from third-party logistics (3PL) firms, retail distribution giants, and manufacturing enterprises deal with complex logistical requirements. These projects require tailored specifications, detailed weight distribution plans, and compliance with structural standards.
1. Custom Load Capacity & Seismology
We design systems customized for specific payload limits, from 200kg workbench modules to heavy-duty industrial pallet racks supporting over 4,000kg per level. We run structural calculations to ensure seismic stability, particularly for seismically active regions.
2. Surface Treatment & Environmental Conditions
Depending on the application, we offer customized corrosion-protected coatings. This includes electrostatic powder coatings for standard dry warehouses, hot-dip galvanization for outdoor industrial environments, and high-grade 304/201 stainless steel configurations for cold storage facilities.
To accommodate changes in SKU profiles, modern systems require modular, boltless, and adjustable shelving setups. Our solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly with automated shuttle systems and wire-guided AGVs.
Compliance Standards & Localized Support
Industrial storage systems carry substantial loads. Structural failures can lead to inventory losses, operational disruptions, and safety risks. We ensure compliance with the following international structural guidelines:
Compliance Standards
Our products conform to major international engineering codes:
ANSI/RMI MH16.1: Specification for the Design, Testing, and Utilization of Industrial Steel Storage Racks (North America).
EN 15512 / FEM 10.2.02: European code governing adjustable pallet racking system design.
AS4084-2012: Australian Steel Storage Racking Standard.
Localized Engineering Support
To streamline global procurement, we provide detailed technical support:
Structural Layout Drawings: Complete 2D CAD and 3D Revit models to assist with local permit approvals.
Modern industrial storage systems are evolving from static iron assemblies into integrated components of high-performance automation networks. Staying ahead of these shifts is essential for long-term facility viability.
Integration with AS/RS
High-density vertical storage requires racking structures engineered to strict straightness tolerances to ensure automated crane rails and shuttle cars operate without disruption.
Environmentally Friendly Manufacturing
We utilize eco-friendly, low-emission powder coatings that are heavy-metal free. Our production lines emphasize recycled water usage and energy efficiency, helping our clients meet ESG procurement standards.
Real-time Load Sensing
Looking forward, our R&D team is developing smart-racking components with built-in load and strain gauges to alert warehouse managers to structural overload risks before structural damage occurs.
Targeted Application Scenarios
Our custom racking systems are engineered for diverse operating environments:
E-Commerce & 3PL Logistics
High-turnover distribution centers use our multi-tier mezzanine floors and mobile wire shelving units to optimize picking workflows, reduce travel times, and increase SKU density.
Cold Chain Storage
Our corrosion-resistant stainless steel racks and specialized drive-in racking profiles maintain structural integrity in temperatures down to -30°C, maximizing space in cold storage facilities.
Manufacturing Assembly & Garages
Heavy-duty, bolt-free workbenches and stackable cages organize work-in-progress (WIP) materials, saving floor space and protecting component parts from damage.
Q1: How do you verify the load-bearing capacity of customized pallet racking systems?
We perform finite element analysis (FEA) during the design phase to simulate stress points. Physical load testing is then conducted in our QC metrology lab using hydraulic cylinders to test structural components to failure. This process ensures our racks safely support their rated load capacities with a built-in safety factor.
Q2: What steel grades do you use, and why does steel origin matter?
We use Q235B and Q355B structural steel sourced from leading domestic steel mills. These steel grades offer balanced yield strength and ductility, preventing structural deformation under heavy loads and providing reliable performance in seismic conditions.
Q3: How do you ensure corrosion resistance in cold storage and high-humidity facilities?
For cold chain and high-humidity operations, we offer hot-dip galvanized finishes and high-grade 304/201 stainless steel configurations. We also apply electrostatic powder coatings after pickling and phosphating, ensuring a durable, corrosion-resistant surface.
Q4: Can your racking systems integrate with automated warehouses (AS/RS)?
Yes. Our custom racking systems can be manufactured to the tight structural tolerances required by automated crane, shuttle, and AGV systems. Our R&D department works closely with automation integrators to align the racking interfaces with automated machinery.
Q5: Do you provide layout design and warehouse planning services?
Yes, our team of 126 R&D engineers provides layout planning services. We generate detailed 2D CAD and 3D Revit models based on your facility layout, forklift specifications, SKU density, and workflow processes to maximize storage density and throughput.
