What information do you need to design a warehouse racking system?

Please send the warehouse floor plan (CAD or PDF) and the clear height under beams or sprinklers. We also need the pallet size and maximum unit load, the forklift type and lift height, the number of SKUs and the daily throughput. Tell us about any local seismic or design standards that apply. Our engineers use this information to prepare a layout and a structural proposal.

Which certifications does Remprack hold?

Our products and quality system are certified to CE, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and TUV. We provide test reports and certificates for project documentation on request.

Do you offer OEM and ODM racking manufacturing?

Yes. We offer OEM and ODM manufacturing for distributors, integrators and end users. Upright profiles, beam sections, dimensions, colors and branding can all be customized to your project or market requirements.

What warranty do your racking systems carry?

Our racking systems carry a 10-year product warranty when installed and used according to our load signs and installation guidance.

Which markets have you supplied?

Since 2006 we have exported racking systems to more than 85 countries across Europe, Asia, the Americas, the Middle East and Africa.

How do I choose between drive-in, push back, pallet flow and shuttle racking?

Drive-in racking suits large volumes of a few SKUs with LIFO rotation. Push back stores 2 to 5 pallets deep with LIFO and faster access. Pallet flow gives true FIFO for perishable goods. Shuttle racking offers very high density with either FIFO or LIFO and reduces forklift travel inside the rack.

Engineering Excellence in Heavy-Duty Drum Storage Racking for South Africa

Industrial warehousing across South Africa—from the dense manufacturing hubs of Gauteng (Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni) to the major chemical corridors of Sasolburg, Secunda, and the maritime ports of Durban and Cape Town—demands exceptionally robust structural storage. Managing standard 210-litre (55-gallon) steel drums, plastic tight-head barrels, and Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) involves specific engineering challenges: localized point loads, potential fluid leaks, strict environmental compliance under SANS 10263-0, and demanding operational safety under the South African Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Act.

As a global OEM/ODM manufacturer with over two decades of dedicated steel structure manufacturing experience, Remprack Storage Solutions delivers specialized drum storage pallet racking systems tailored precisely to South African environmental conditions, seismic requirements, and industrial regulation frameworks.

Key Structural & Safety Features

Purpose-built features designed to eliminate warehouse risks and optimize high-density liquid barrel management.

SANS 10263-0 Spill Containment

Integrated steel sump trays and catch basins designed to contain 110% of the largest single drum capacity or 25% of total liquid volume, preventing hazardous soil and groundwater contamination.

High-Grade Q235B / Q355B Steel

Manufactured using cold-rolled high-tensile structural steel profiles. Formed with precision geometry to resist extreme point loads and torsional stresses caused by horizontal drum cradles.

Corrosion-Resistant Finishes

Advanced electrostatic epoxy-polyester powder coating (60-80 microns thick) or heavy Hot-Dip Galvanizing (HDG) to withstand coastal marine air in Durban/Cape Town and aggressive chemical vapors.

Precision Drum Saddles & Cradles

Removable heavy-duty steel saddles fit securely across rack step beams, holding 200L/210L barrels horizontally to allow safe decanting, dispensing, and forklift handling without rolling risks.

Modular & Scalable Design

Uprights pitched at 50mm or 75mm adjustments allow quick reconfiguration of tier heights. Easily integrates with Wire Mesh Decking, Support Bars, and Pallet Flow Gravity Tracks.

Seismic & Structural Certification

Complies with international FEM 10.2.02, EN 15512, and SANS 10160 codes. Includes heavy floor baseplates, anchor bolts, and safety pin locking mechanisms for maximum stability.

Tailored Applications across South African Industrial Regions

South Africa’s industrial landscape relies heavily on secure liquid drum storage across diverse operating environments. Remprack provides specialized designs tuned to local industry needs:

1. Mining & Mineral Processing (North West & Limpopo)

In locations like Rustenburg, Polokwane, and Steelpoort, mining sites store vast quantities of heavy hydraulic oils, lubricants, and flotation reagents. Our heavy-duty galvanized drum racks withstand dusty, high-vibration, and outdoor open-sky conditions without structural degradation.

2. Petrochemical & Refineries (Gauteng & Sasolburg)

In Sasolburg, Secunda, and Ekurhuleni chemical hubs, volatile hydrocarbon fluids require strict fire separation and anti-spark accessories. Our selective drum racking integrates seamlessly with in-rack sprinkler systems and static-earthing accessories.

3. Agricultural Chemicals & Wineries (Western Cape)

Agriculture and wine production in Paarl, Stellenbosch, and Ceres mandate clean, spill-proof storage for pesticides, fertilizers, and processing fluids. Our powder-coated racks with secondary containment sumps protect precious agricultural soil from accidental leaks.

Market Trends & Regulatory Compliance for South African Buyers

Storage management for hazardous chemicals in South Africa is undergoing significant modernization. Key trends influencing warehouse investments include:

Strict Environmental Enforcement (SANS 10263-0): Environmental inspectors actively enforce containment mandates. Facilities without proper spill bunding risk heavy fines and operational closure.
Transition to High-Bay Density & Automation: With industrial land costs rising in Gauteng and Cape Town, buyers are shifting toward taller rack configurations equipped with automated radio shuttle systems and narrow-aisle (VNA) access.
Resilience Against Load Shedding: Mechanical drum handling accessories (gravity flow, robust manual saddles) are favored to maintain operational throughput even during grid power interruptions.

Frequently Asked Questions by South African Buyers

Answers to common technical, shipping, and regulatory procurement questions.

Do your drum racking systems comply with South African SANS standards?

Yes. Our racking structures are engineered in strict accordance with international standards (EN 15512, FEM 10.2.02) and align with SANS 10160 structural load specifications and SANS 10263-0 regulations for storing hazardous chemical substances.

How do you ship racking orders to South African ports like Durban or Cape Town?

We bundle and securely pack upright frames, beams, drum cradles, and sump trays into standard 20ft or 40ft High Cube containers. Shipments are dispatched directly from our factory to major South African ports, including Durban, Cape Town, and Coega (Gqeberha), complete with full export documentation.

Can your drum racks accommodate both horizontal dispensing and vertical pallet storage?

Absolutely. We supply combination racking systems fitted with removable horizontal drum cradles on lower tiers for manual tap dispensing, while maintaining open beam levels above for vertical palletized drum storage.

What spill containment capacity is built into your sump trays?

Our integrated steel sump trays are custom engineered to meet regulatory requirements, capable of retaining either 110% of the single largest drum stored on the level (e.g., 230L minimum for a 210L drum) or 25% of the total aggregate volume stored.

What warranty and technical support do you provide?

Remprack provides a 10-year structural warranty on all heavy-duty steel pallet racking components. We supply comprehensive CAD installation drawings, assembly manuals, structural load tables, and remote engineering guidance for your local installation team.
