Storage Systems
Industrial Racking Systems for Mexican Warehouses
Every system is specified around your load profile, forklift fleet and building constraints — not pulled from a generic catalog. Choose the structure that fits how your inventory actually moves.
Cantilever Rack
Open-front storage for steel bar, pipe, PVC, lumber and aluminum profiles — single or double-sided arms.

- Outdoor galvanized option
Wire Deck
Welded wire mesh decking that improves sprinkler water penetration, visibility and support for mixed loads.
- Flared, waterfall & flush
- Rated load per deck
Accessories
Column protectors, row spacers, pallet supports, safety bars and load signs that keep operations safe and compliant.
- Forklift impact protection
- NOM-006-STPS signage
Why AztecRack
Built for Mexico's Nearshoring Warehouses
Mexico's new industrial parks are taller, faster to commission and often located in seismically active regions. Our engineering team specifies racking for those realities from day one, so your project passes internal safety audits and insurer reviews without redesign.
Seismic-Specific Engineering
Base plates, anchors and frame bracing calculated with the seismic coefficient of your exact site location.
Compliance-Ready Documentation
Load capacity plates, layout drawings and inspection checklists that support NOM-006-STPS and NOM-001-STPS audits.
Large-Volume Supply
Phased deliveries coordinated with construction schedules for multi-building industrial park rollouts.
Bilingual Project Support
English and Spanish communication for global headquarters and local plant teams alike.

Consultation & Layout Design
A Four-Step Process That Removes Guesswork
Most racking problems start with a rushed layout. Our engineers validate flow, capacity and safety before a single upright is produced.
01
Site & SKU Analysis
We review floor plans, clear height, slab rating, forklift specs, pallet sizes and turnover rates.
02
CAD Layout & Capacity
2D/3D layouts with aisle widths, pallet position counts and load-per-level calculations.
03
Engineering & Production
Seismic verification, component sizing and quality-controlled manufacturing with traceable steel.
04
Delivery & Site Support
Phased shipping, installation drawings, capacity signage and post-installation inspection guidance.
Buyer's Guide
Which Racking System Fits Your Operation?
Selecting a racking type is a trade-off between storage density and pallet accessibility. Use this comparison as a starting point — our engineers will confirm the best fit using your real inventory data.
| System | Best For | Density | Selectivity | Inventory Method | Typical Mexican Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Selective Pallet Rack | High SKU count, fast picking | FIFO / LIFO | 3PL and e-commerce hubs in Estado de México | ||
| Double-Deep Rack | Medium SKU count, paired pallets | LIFO | Beverage and consumer goods distribution | ||
| Drive-In Rack | Low SKU count, high volume | LIFO | Cold storage and seasonal food products | ||
| Push-Back Rack | Dense storage with faster access | LIFO | Automotive component buffers in the Bajío | ||
| Cantilever Rack | Long or irregular loads | Direct access | Steel service centers in Nuevo León and Coahuila |
| Component | Standard Range | Engineering Note |
|---|---|---|
| Upright Frame Height | 2.4 m – 12 m | Matched to building clear height and sprinkler clearance |
| Frame Depth | 900 mm – 1,200 mm | Sized for 1,000 × 1,200 mm and 40" × 48" pallets |
| Beam Length | 1.8 m – 3.9 m | Two or three pallets per bay depending on load |
| Beam Pair Capacity | Up to 3,000 kg per level | Uniformly distributed load; deflection limited to L/180 |
| Finish | Powder coat · Hot-dip galvanized | Galvanized recommended for coastal or outdoor sites |
| Seismic Anchoring | Zone-specific base plates & anchors | Verified against site seismic coefficient |
Values are representative ranges. Final capacities are confirmed by engineering calculation for each project and stated on the load capacity plate.

Converting Floor Stacking to Selective Rack
A logistics operator storing block-stacked pallets needed SKU-level access without leasing more space. A selective layout using full clear height replaced floor stacking.

Push-Back Buffer for Line Supply
A Tier-1 supplier needed denser staging near production lines. Push-back lanes reduced aisle count while keeping forklift travel short.

FAQ
Pallet Racking Questions from Buyers in Mexico
Straight answers to the questions procurement, safety and operations teams ask most often.
Yes. Every project is engineered with the seismic coefficient of the installation site, referencing the CFE Seismic Design Manual and ANSI MH16.1 practice. Base plates, anchors, frame bracing and beam connectors are sized for the zone, from low-risk northern sites to high-risk Pacific coast regions.
Our layouts support NOM-006-STPS-2014 requirements by providing load capacity signage, defined aisle widths, safety accessories and inspection guidance so your safety team can document compliance.
After we receive your floor plan, clear height, forklift specifications and SKU profile, a preliminary CAD layout with capacity calculations is typically delivered within 3 to 5 business days.
We support projects nationwide, with frequent work in Nuevo León, Coahuila, Estado de México, Ciudad de México, Jalisco, Querétaro, Guanajuato, San Luis Potosí, Chihuahua and Baja California.
Choose cantilever rack for long, bulky or irregular loads such as steel bar, pipe, PVC, lumber, aluminum profiles and sheet goods. Pallet rack is the better choice for palletized unit loads with standard dimensions.
