Explore our flagship heavy-duty industrial storage racks, designed to withstand the rigorous demands of Dutch 3PL and cold chain facilities.
As the primary logistics gateway to Europe, the Netherlands (with hotspots such as Rotterdam, Venlo, and Amsterdam-Schiphol) faces extreme scarcity in industrial real estate. High land values combined with a booming third-party logistics (3PL) and food storage sector make space optimization a critical business metric. Traditional selective racking wastes up to 50% of floor space in aisleways.
This is where Xinmiao's Drive-in Pallet Racking System offers unmatched structural advantages. By eliminating dedicated forklift aisles, drive-in systems store pallets on continuous rails where forklifts drive directly into the bay columns. This configuration increases storage capacity by up to 85% compared to standard selective racking, reducing operational heating/cooling costs in temperature-sensitive Dutch warehouses.
Our solutions comply strictly with the European EN 15512 and FEM 10.2.07 structural standards, ensuring maximum warehouse safety and regulatory compliance within the European Union.

Cold storage complexes in the Netherlands, especially those storing dairy, cheese, and frozen meat exports, are facing record-high energy costs. Real estate optimization in a cold room directly decreases the electrical overhead per pallet stored.
By implementing a high-density drive-in pallet racking layout, cold storage facilities reduce the volume of empty air that requires cooling, maximizing overall thermal efficiency. Our powder coating processes are certified to withstand aggressive humidity and sub-zero temperatures down to -30°C without chipping, cracking, or losing structural integrity.
Each setup is optimized for standard European pallets (800mm x 1200mm) and Block pallets (1000mm x 1200mm) widely used in the EU logistics corridor.
Send Inquiry NowDesigned with micro-interactions, robust structural profiles, and safety add-ons to prevent forklift collisions and guarantee stable load capacity.
Integrated steel floor guide rails protect rack frames from repetitive forklift collisions during entry and exit maneuvers.
Heavy-duty top and back bracing networks provide excellent lateral stability, meeting stringent European seismic and wind-load calculations.
Specially roll-formed pallet rails ensure uniform weight distribution, preventing local sheet bucking under extreme pallet loads.
From structural design to surface finishing, our modern facility employs automated production to deliver high quality racking.
Explore our deep catalog of drive-in, drive-through, selective, and specialized storage components engineered to optimize space.
From automotive seasonal tire setups to logistics warehouse platforms, our solutions scale dynamically.
The global materials handling and logistics sector is witnessing rapid digitalization. Warehouses are shifting from manual forklift handling toward semi-automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) and Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs).
Our drive-in pallet racking systems are built with this shift in mind. The lane alignments, height tolerances, and guide rail geometries are carefully designed to integrate seamlessly with automated laser-guided forklift fleets. This ensures that when your company adopts smart logistics, your existing racking system remains compatible.
By opting for a forward-compatible racking system, companies avoid costly warehouse retrofitting. This capability makes our systems a highly strategic long-term investment for global distribution operations.
Clear, direct, and expert answers to technical questions about structural compliance, space utilization, and operation safety.
A standard Drive-In Pallet Racking System operates on a Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) inventory workflow, meaning pallets are loaded and retrieved from the same entry side. A Drive-Through System is configured with entry access on both ends, allowing a First-In, First-Out (FIFO) stock rotation. Drive-Through systems require separate loading and unloading lanes, which reduces density slightly compared to Drive-In but is essential for perishable goods with strict expiration dates.
Yes, all structural configurations exported to the Netherlands and other European Union nations are designed, calculated, and manufactured in accordance with EN 15512 and the FEM 10.2.07 guidelines. We evaluate load-bearing stress, wind loads, and seismic factors to ensure structural safety under all normal operating conditions.
Because forklifts drive directly inside the rack structure, the risk of upright column collisions is higher. We recommend using heavy-gauge steel guide rails anchored to the concrete floor along the entire length of the lane. Additionally, we install high-visibility plastic or steel upright protectors on all entry-level columns to absorb localized impacts and prevent structural damage.
Absolutely. We specialize in cold chain racking solutions. We apply a specialized powder-coating finish cured at high temperatures, or a Hot-Dip Galvanized (HDG) coating. This protection prevents corrosion, rust, and surface deterioration, even in constant freezing temperatures as low as -30°C.
