Heavy-duty industrial storage systems engineered to maximize vertical footprint and optimize throughput speeds.
As the primary gateway to East and Central Africa, Kenya's logistics landscape has undergone a monumental shift. Enabled by extensive national infrastructure projects such as the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), the expansion of the Port of Mombasa, and the growth of dry ports and Inland Container Depots (ICD) in Nairobi and Naivasha, the demand for sophisticated storage facilities has reached historic heights.
Modern enterprises operating in Kenya—spanning agribusiness, third-party logistics (3PL), fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), and pharmaceuticals—are moving away from horizontal floor storage toward optimized vertical pallet racking. Given the increasing valuation of industrial land in key clusters like Syokimau, Mombasa Road, Baba Dogo, and the special economic zones (SEZs) in Athi River, implementing high-density structural pallet racking is no longer just an option; it is a financial necessity to improve ROI per square meter.
Designing racking configurations for East African corridors requires dynamic analysis of supply chains. Warehouses in Kenya face unique operating variables:
To optimize logistics footprints, we manufacture and design specialized systems targeting different operational configurations:
This is the most popular, cost-effective storage configuration, offering 100% selectivity for every pallet. Utilizing heavy-duty adjustable upright frames and load beams, Selective Racking accommodates fluctuating SKU sizes and adapts to standard reach trucks or counterbalanced forklifts. It is ideal for 3PL providers managing heterogeneous inventories.
Radio Shuttle Racking is a semi-automated storage system where a self-powered cart travels inside the storage lanes to load and unload pallets. This system significantly decreases forklift travel times and risk of racking damage. For large distribution centers in Mombasa and Nairobi, it provides the ultimate balance between high-density storage and high throughput.
AS/RS utilizes stacker cranes and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) controlled by advanced Warehouse Control Software (WCS). It minimizes manual labor and operates in vertical envelopes exceeding 30 meters. This system represents the technological future of Kenyan mega-distribution hubs.
