RETA Mühendislik undertakes the project design, production, and installation of industrial racking systems under a single responsibility for production facilities, food warehouses, and distribution depots in Adana. Founded in 1979, the company manufactures its systems in its own production facility in Manisa Muradiye OIZ and provides services to the Çukurova region through its delivery and installation organization.

Sectoral Structure Determining Storage Needs in Adana

Since Adana is positioned at the point where agricultural production transforms into industry, storage needs differ from other industrial provinces in terms of both volume and seasonality.

Textile, food, plastic, and packaging facilities are concentrated around the Adana Hacı Sabancı Organized Industrial Zone. In food processing facilities, raw material entry depends on the harvest period, while product output is spread throughout the year; this causes warehouse occupancy to show significant differences during the year. On the textile side, loads that do not fit the standard pallet bay, such as rolls of fabric and bobbins, stand out, while on the packaging side, lightweight but high-volume products come to the fore.

The Ceyhan line has a different profile due to the impact of port and energy investments. Facilities here manage long materials such as heavy equipment spare parts, pipes, and profiles, alongside project-based stock. In warehouses around the Yumurtalık Free Zone, operations run depending on the shipment schedule.

The conditions are different in agricultural processing facilities and cold storage warehouses on the Kozan, İmamoğlu, and Karataş line. Moisture, temperature, and hygiene requirements directly affect material selection and rack layout; keeping product groups separate from each other is reflected in the layout plan from the very beginning.

Structural Safety in Warehouses Renewed in the Earthquake Zone

Adana is among the provinces with high spectral acceleration values in the earthquake regulation, and structural safety sensitivity in facilities in the region has significantly increased in recent years. Today, it is seen more clearly that warehouse equipment cannot be considered separately from building safety.

A fully loaded pallet rack is a load-bearing structure on its own under these conditions. In the event of its collapse, beyond the loss of stock, there is the issue of employee safety and keeping indoor escape routes open. For this reason, upright profiles, anchoring details, vertical and horizontal bracing systems, and beam connections are dimensioned not only according to vertical load capacity but also according to the seismic parameters of the region.

For businesses renewing their existing warehouse or moving to a new facility, directly re-installing the old system is often not sufficient. Deformation in components, anchoring status, and the current load carried are evaluated separately. For every project, static calculations are re-performed, and quotes are not given based on catalog capacity.

Prominent Systems in Hacı Sabancı OIZ and Ceyhan Line

In the finished goods warehouses of food, packaging, and textile facilities, pallet racking systems are designed according to pallet size, forklift type, and clear height. Euro pallet 800x1200 mm and industrial pallet 1000x1200 mm dimensions require different bay depths and beam spans; in non-standard loads such as sacks, big bags, and rolls of fabric, bay dimensions are designed according to the product.

In energy and heavy industry facilities on the Ceyhan line, long materials such as pipes, profiles, and sheet metals are stored with cantilever racking systems. Arm length, spacing between arms, and upright profile are calculated according to the weight and deflection behavior of the material.

In spare parts warehouses and distribution depots with a high volume of order picking, carton and box handling racking systems are used. Shelf heights are adjusted according to the operator's reach level, and critical and high-turnover parts are placed on the fast access line.

In facilities where ceiling height cannot be fully utilized, mezzanine solutions double or triple the available area. Mold management in plastic and packaging manufacturers is managed with mold racking systems, while warehouses with high inventory turnover rates are managed with automated storage AS/RS applications. All system types can be found on the racking systems page.

Adana Warehouse Racking Systems Discovery and Quotation Process

Reach out via the contact page to receive a layout plan and price quote for your facility in Adana. Completed applications in different sectors can be found on our projects page.

Planning of Discovery, Shipping, and On-Site Installation

The process begins with an on-site discovery at the facility. Floor condition and flatness, column axes, clear ceiling height, sprinkler and lighting layout, the type of forklift used, as well as pallet and load dimensions are recorded. In food and agricultural processing facilities, the harvest schedule is also obtained at this stage, because the layout plan is established according to the occupancy range during the year.

After the capacity calculation, static calculation, and technical drawing are approved, production is carried out at the facility in Muradiye OIZ. Since shipments are made from outside the region, production, shipping, and installation team planning are combined into a single schedule; the team is ready when the materials arrive on site, preventing any waiting. Installation is carried out by our own teams, and the warehouse can be worked on by dividing it into phases. Load capacity labels and instructions for use are provided upon delivery. The scope also includes expanding existing systems, moving them to another facility, and replacing damaged components.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Adana Racking Systems

Can the earthquake safety of our existing racks be evaluated?

Yes, it can. Upright profiles, anchoring status, bracing systems, and deformation in components are examined on-site and compared with the current load carried. Based on the results, additional bracing, anchor renewal, or replacement of damaged components is recommended. The inspection is carried out during the discovery phase.

Can systems be installed for cold storage and areas requiring hygiene?

Yes, they can. In these areas, moisture, temperature, and cleanliness conditions affect material and surface selection, and the rack layout is planned so as not to prevent air circulation. If product groups need to be kept separate, this separation is reflected in the physical layout of the bays.

How is the layout planned for a warehouse that fills up during the harvest season?

The plan is established not only according to the highest occupancy peak, but also according to the usage range throughout the year. Sections that operate at full capacity during peak periods and can be used as order picking and consolidation areas during low periods are separated.

What information should I prepare to get a quote?

Warehouse area and clear ceiling height, pallet size and weight per pallet, target number of bays, type of forklift used, and existing layout plan, if any, are sufficient. The final quote is formed after discovery and static calculation.

Can you move our existing racks to our new warehouse?

After evaluating the type, age, load capacity of the system, and deformation in its components, dismantling and re-installing it is possible. If the floor strength, ceiling height, or column axes of the new facility are different, reinforcement or partial renewal may be required.
