RETA Engineering carries out the project design, production, and installation of industrial rack systems for production facilities, export warehouses, and distribution depots in Denizli under a single responsibility. Founded in 1979, the company manufactures its systems in its own production facility in Manisa Muradiye OIZ; Denizli is one of the industrial centers located close to the facility.

Two Opposite Load Types in Denizli

Denizli industry hosts two load types that are diametrically opposed in terms of storage within the same provincial borders, and this situation radically differentiates the solutions.

Around the Denizli Organized Industrial Zone, towel, bathrobe, home textile, and apparel production is the most prominent sector of the province. In these facilities, the load is light but takes up a lot of space. In roll fabrics, bobbins, and boxed products, the warehouse fills up in volume long before reaching the weight limit; the starting point of the design is not the load-carrying capacity, but the volumetric efficiency.

In the same province, there are travertine, marble, and natural stone processing facilities. Here, the picture is reversed: the load is very heavy, and also fragile. In slab and block storage, the bearing surface, support point, and handling direction are decisive for both carrier and product safety.

Agricultural processing, food, and packaging production are carried out in the facilities on the Çardak, Sarayköy, and Honaz line, and geothermal-sourced greenhouse activities are also concentrated along this line. Seasonal fluctuations and humidity conditions are incorporated into the design in these facilities. Manufacturers of cables, wires, and metal processing, along with export warehouses, constitute the fourth pillar of the province.

Solving Light Volumetric and Heavy Fragile Loads in the Same Layout

Having both roll fabric and marble slabs in a single warehouse is a situation that cannot be solved with a single type of bay layout. The beam cross-section, bay depth, and handling method required by the two loads are completely different from each other.

On the textile side, decisions are made based on volume: bay heights are adjusted with millimeter precision according to the roll diameter and box dimensions, and the number of levels is maximized based on the clear ceiling height and sprinkler elevation. Stopper or bedding solutions are planned for rolls and bobbins that carry a risk of rolling.

On the natural stone side, decisions are made based on weight and fragility. Support points are positioned according to the bending behavior of the slab, bearing surfaces are prepared to prevent edge damage, and crane access height is integrated into the plan from the beginning. Since Denizli is located in a region with high spectral acceleration values in the seismic code, the anchorage and bracing systems in heavy load-bearing sections are calculated separately. Static calculations are made for each project, and quotes are not provided based on catalog capacity.

Prominent Systems in Denizli OIZ and Its Surroundings

In the finished goods warehouses of textile, home textile, and food facilities, pallet racking systems are designed based on pallet size, forklift type, and clear height. Euro pallets (800x1200 mm) and industrial pallets (1000x1200 mm) require different bay depths and beam spans; for non-standard loads such as roll fabrics and bobbins, bay dimensions are designed according to the product.

In marble and natural stone slabs, as well as in long materials such as profiles and pipes, cantilever racking systems are used. Arm length, spacing between arms, and upright cross-section are calculated according to the weight and fragility of the load, and surface contact can be cushioned.

Carton flow and box handling racking systems are preferred in accessory, yarn, and spare parts management. Level heights are adjusted according to box dimensions, and high-turnover references are placed in the waist-level band.

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

Denizli Warehouse Racking Systems Discovery and Quoting Process

To get a layout plan and price quote for your facility in Denizli, please contact us via the contact page. Completed applications in different sectors are featured on our projects page.

Application Stages from Measurement to Delivery

During discovery, floor condition and flatness, column axes, clear ceiling height, sprinkler and lighting layout, the type of forklift or crane used, and load dimensions are recorded. In non-standard loads such as rolls, bobbins, and slabs, diameter, length, thickness, and weight are measured separately, as the bay design and support point are derived directly from these values.

After the capacity calculation, static calculation, and technical drawing are approved, production is carried out at the facility in Muradiye OIZ. Since Denizli is close to the production facility, shipment and installation team coordination can be planned in a short time. Installation is carried out by our own teams, and the warehouse can be worked on by dividing it into phases. Load capacity labels and usage instructions are provided upon delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Denizli Racking Systems

How is safe storage ensured for marble and natural stone slabs?

Support points are positioned according to the thickness and bending behavior of the slab, and the spacing between the arms is narrowed to prevent edge breakage. Bearing surfaces can be cushioned, and crane access height is included in the layout plan from the very beginning.

How is the risk of rolling prevented in roll fabric and bobbin storage?

Bay depth and bearing surface are determined according to the diameter of the roll, and stopper or bedding elements are added when necessary. Handling direction is also included in the plan, so the operator does not have to make additional maneuvers every time.

How is capacity increased for light but voluminous products?

For these loads, the limit is volume, not weight. Bay heights are adjusted with millimeter precision according to product dimensions, and the number of levels is maximized based on the ceiling elevation and sprinkler layout. Empty space loss is reduced by separating product groups into separate level groups.

Can we manage both heavy and light loads in the same warehouse?

Yes, you can, but the sections are defined separately. Heavy and fragile loads are positioned in reinforced bays on the ground floor, while light volumetric products are placed in the multi-tier section. Beam cross-sections are calculated separately for the two sections.

What information do we need to prepare for a quote?

The warehouse area and clear ceiling height, the type, dimensions, and unit weight of the load to be stored, the target number of bays, the type of forklift or crane used, and the existing layout plan, if any, are sufficient. The final quote is formulated after discovery and static calculation.
