RETA Mühendislik undertakes the project design, production, and installation of industrial rack systems for production facilities, export warehouses, and distribution depots in Tekirdağ with sole responsibility. Founded in 1979, the company manufactures its systems in its own production facility in Manisa Muradiye OIZ and serves Tekirdağ through its Marmara regional organization.

The Industrial Line Determining Storage Needs in Tekirdağ

Tekirdağ is a production geography shaped by the westward expansion of Istanbul industry, and the need for storage bears the trace of this expansion.

The Çerkezköy Organized Industrial Zone, Kapaklı, and Veliköy Organized Industrial Zone line is the most intensive production area of the province. The loads stored on this line, where textile, apparel, chemical, plastic, and packaging facilities coexist, are very different from each other. Bulky, irregularly sized materials such as rolls of fabric and bobbins do not fit into a standard pallet bay; bay dimensions are designed according to the product.

In the facilities on the Ergene and Muratlı line, chemical, paint, and packaging production is predominant. In chemical storage, fire regulations, sprinkler layout, and aisle widths limit the rack design at the project stage. Around the Çorlu Leather Organized Industrial Zone, the storage of leather and textile semi-finished products with ventilation and moisture control comes to the fore.

The bonded warehouses around Asyaport and Tekirdağ port, and the logistics warehouses on the Çorlu axis, are fed by the province's European-directed export traffic. In these facilities, operations depend on the shipment schedule; the efficient use of clear ceiling height and the correct planning of bays close to the shipping gate are decisive.

Layout According to Shipping Rhythm in Export-Oriented Warehouses

A significant portion of the warehouses in Tekirdağ do not hold long-term stock, but stock awaiting shipment. The measure of success in a warehouse where container or truck loading is performed is not the total pallet capacity, but how quickly and error-free dispatch can be carried out during the loading window.

The layout plan is established by taking this rhythm into account. Axes close to the shipping gate are reserved for ready-to-load stock, while materials that will wait for a long time are moved to the rear area. The loading order is designed to be compatible with the reading direction of the rack layout; otherwise, the operator has to navigate the same aisle multiple times. If export and domestic market stock are to be kept in separate groups, this distinction is reflected in the physical layout of the bays from the beginning.

Tekirdağ is also among the provinces with high spectral acceleration values in earthquake regulations. Upright profiles, anchoring details, and diagonal bracing layouts are dimensioned according to the seismic parameters of the region. Static calculations are performed separately for each project; offers are not made based on catalog capacity.

Prominent Systems in Tekirdağ Facilities

In port-back bonded warehouses, chemical facilities, and distribution depots, pallet rack systems are project-designed according to pallet size, forklift type, and clear height. Euro pallet 800x1200 mm and industrial pallet 1000x1200 mm sizes require different bay depths and beam spans; the number of levels is determined according to the ceiling level and sprinkler layout. For non-standard loads such as rolls of fabric and bobbins, bay dimensions are designed according to the product.

In the management of accessories, semi-finished goods, and spare parts in apparel and packaging facilities, carton box manual handling rack systems are used. Shelf heights are adjusted according to the operator's access level, and high-turnover references are placed on the waist-level band.

In facilities where ceiling height cannot be utilized, mezzanine rack systems increase the available space to two or three levels. This is the solution that expands storage volume in most cases without investing in additional buildings.

In metalworking facilities, long materials such as profiles, pipes, and sheets are managed with cantilever systems; in plastic and packaging manufacturers, mold management is managed with mold rack systems; and warehouses with high stock turnover speeds are managed with automated storage AS/RS solutions. All system types can be found on the rack systems page.

Tekirdağ Warehouse Rack Systems Discovery and Offer Process

To receive a layout plan and price offer for your facility in Tekirdağ, contact us via the contact page. Completed applications in different sectors can be found on our projects page.

Project Design, Production, and Installation Process

The process begins with on-site discovery at the facility. Floor condition and flatness, column axes, clear ceiling height, sprinkler and lighting layout, the type of forklift used, and pallet dimensions are recorded. Based on this data, the layout plan and capacity calculation are prepared, followed by the static calculation and technical drawing.

The approved project is manufactured at the facility in Muradiye OIZ, and the installation is carried out on-site by our own teams. Since the warehouse can be worked on by dividing it into phases, the installation can be completed without stopping the business's shipment and production flow. Upon delivery, load capacity labels and instructions for use are left. The scope also includes the expansion of existing systems, relocation to another facility, and the replacement of damaged components.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Tekirdağ Rack Systems

Can bays be designed for loads like rolls of fabric and bobbins?

They can be designed. For this type of load, bay depth, beam span, and loading surface are determined according to the product's diameter, length, and weight. Additional holding or cradling solutions are planned for loads with rolling risks. Detailed size and weight information must be collected during the on-site discovery.

Can a layout be established to increase shipping speed?

It can be established. Axes close to the shipping gate are reserved for ready-to-load stock, while the rear area is reserved for materials that will wait for a long time. When the loading sequence is planned in harmony with the reading direction of the rack layout, the distance traveled by the operator is significantly shortened.

Can we keep export and domestic market stock separate?

You can. The distinction is reflected in the physical layout of the bays from the start; the two groups are positioned on different axes or in different level groups. The labeling system is also planned to support this separation.

What information should I prepare to get an offer?

Warehouse area and clear ceiling height, pallet dimensions and weight per pallet, target number of bays, forklift type used, and, if available, the existing layout plan are sufficient. Preliminary evaluation can be done with this information, and the final offer is made after discovery and static calculation.

Can you relocate our existing racks to our new warehouse?

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