RETA Mühendislik undertakes the project planning, production, and installation of industrial rack systems for production facilities, export warehouses, and distribution depots in Gaziantep under a single responsibility. Founded in 1979, the company manufactures its systems in its own production facility in Manisa Muradiye OIZ and provides services to the Southeastern line via shipment and installation organization.

Production Sectors Determining Storage Needs in Gaziantep

Gaziantep has one of the densest organized industrial zones in Turkey, and the storage need here arises from the clustering of very different production sectors in the same region.

In the line of Gaziantep 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Organized Industrial Zones, carpet and machine-made carpet production is the most prominent sector of the province. The load stored in these facilities is both bulky and in roll form; standard pallet bays do not fit this load, and the bay depth and supporting surface are designed according to the roll diameter. Yarn and bobbin stocks, on the other hand, require a separate arrangement.

In the food facilities concentrated in the same region, the picture changes. Sack and big bag storage is common for spices, nuts, legumes, and flour products, where hygiene and moisture conditions affect material selection. For packaging and plastic manufacturers, lightweight but bulky finished products are decisive, while in chemical facilities, corridor and height limits depending on fire regulations are determining factors.

Facilities on the Nizip and Şehitkamil line and logistics warehouses arising from Gaziantep's position as a regional distribution center form the third pillar of the province. In these warehouses, the operation is based on consolidation and shipment rather than holding stock, and order picking speed is decisive.

Layout According to Loading Preparation in Facilities with High Export Volume

A significant part of Gaziantep's industry works directly for export. In these facilities, the warehouse is a preparation area before loading rather than a long-term stock area. The measure of success in a warehouse where container or truck loading is performed is not the total capacity, but how quickly and error-free the dispatch can be made during the loading window.

The layout plan is established according to this rhythm. Axes close to the shipment gate are reserved for ready loading stock, while products newly emerging from production are taken to the rear area. Bay groups are defined in advance for batches that need to be kept separate on an order basis, thus preventing different orders from mixing during loading. For roll loads such as carpets, the handling direction is also included in the plan, because a poorly positioned bay forces the operator into additional maneuvers every time.

Gaziantep is located in a region with spectral acceleration values that must be taken into account in seismic regulations. Leg sections, anchorage details, and bracing layout are dimensioned according to these parameters. Static calculation is performed separately for each project; proposals are not made based on catalog capacity.

Prominent Systems in the Organized Industrial Line

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

In multi-item stocks such as yarn, accessories, spare parts, and spices, carton flow and box handling racking systems are used. Shelf heights are adjusted according to box dimensions and the operator's reach level, and high-turnover references are placed on the waist-level tier.

In facilities where ceiling height cannot be fully utilized, mezzanine racking systems double or triple the available space. The solution that expands warehouse volume without narrowing the production area is often this.

In machinery manufacturing facilities, long materials such as profiles, pipes, and sheets are managed with cantilever systems; in plastic and packaging manufacturers, mold management is handled with mold racking systems; and warehouses with high stock turnover speed are managed with automatic storage AS/RS solutions. All system types are available on the racking systems page.

Gaziantep Warehouse Racking Systems Discovery and Quotation Process

Production, Shipment, and Installation Organization

During the discovery, floor condition and flatness, column axes, free ceiling height, sprinkler and lighting layout, forklift type used, and pallet and load dimensions are recorded. If there are non-standard loads such as rolls, sacks, and big bags, their diameter, length, and weight are also measured separately, because the bay design is derived directly from these values.

After the capacity calculation, static calculation, and technical drawing are approved, production is carried out in the facility in Muradiye OIZ. Since shipment is made from outside the region, production, shipping, and installation team planning are combined in a single calendar; the team is ready when the material reaches the site, preventing waiting times. Installation is performed by our own teams and the warehouse can be worked in stages, so the export loading schedule is not disrupted. Load capacity labels and usage instructions are left at delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Gaziantep Racking Systems

Can a special bay be designed for roll carpet storage?

Yes, it can. Bay depth, beam span, and supporting surface are determined according to the diameter, length, and weight of the roll. Retaining or cradling solutions are planned against the risk of rolling, and the handling direction is also reflected in the layout. Dimensions must be taken precisely during discovery.

What arrangement is established for sack and big bag storage?

Since the center of gravity can shift in these loads, the supporting surface and beam span are calculated accordingly. In big bag usage, crane or forklift reach height is also factored into the design. In food facilities, moisture and hygiene conditions also affect material selection.

Can an arrangement be set up to prevent orders from mixing during loading?

Yes, it can. Bay groups are separated on an order, customer, or shipment date basis and numbered in an addressable system. When axes close to the shipping gate are reserved for ready loading stock, loading times are also significantly reduced.

Can installation be done when the export loading schedule is tight?

Yes, it can. The warehouse is worked in stages, and the program is set up according to loading days. First, the empty section is put into service, stock is moved gradually, and then installation continues in the vacated area.

What information is required to prepare a quotation?

Warehouse area and free ceiling height, the type and unit weight of the load to be stored, the target number of bays, the type of forklift used, and the existing layout plan (if any) are sufficient. The final proposal is formed after discovery and static calculation.
