Discover our initial selection of high-load storage options developed specifically for demanding tool and die facilities across Porto, Aveiro, Palmela, and Lisbon.
Portugal stands as one of the preeminent centers of excellence in the European injection molding and automotive tooling sectors. Clusters in Marinha Grande and Oliveira de Azeméis host world-class mold-making factories, supplying complex plastic injection tools to global automotive plants in Palmela (Autoeuropa) and throughout Northern Portugal and Galicia. Storing these valuable tools, dies, and injection molds safely requires robust structural integrity and dedicated engineering solutions.
A typical industrial mold in these regions weighs between 2 metric tons and 25 metric tons. Standard industrial shelving is fundamentally incapable of supporting such high concentrated loads. Failure to implement custom, engineered mold racking systems can lead to structural collapse, damaged tooling, and severe personnel hazards.
Additionally, Portugal's geographic layout requires strict compliance with seismic guidelines, specifically Eurocode 8 structural seismic provisions. Heavy tooling facilities located near Lisbon, Setúbal, and Algarve must address seismic acceleration factors in their racking calculations to ensure complete stability in earthquake scenarios.
How Shenzhen Shibang Storage Rack Co., Ltd. ensures safety, performance, and durability in heavy manufacturing environments across the EU.
We source certified Q235B and Q355B (equivalent to European S235JR and S355JR structural steels) cold-rolled and hot-rolled coils. Our materials show high yield strengths and elongation properties, allowing our structures to withstand severe shock loading when heavy molds are lowered onto the shelving frames.
Southern Portugal is highly seismic. All designs sent to Portugal undergo Finite Element Analysis (FEA) testing. Base plates, upright profiles, and frame bracing layouts are adjusted according to regional ground acceleration values to meet EN 1998 (Eurocode 8) seismic codes.
For slide-out drawer mold racks, a critical failure mode is tipping when multiple drawers are pulled out. Our racking systems feature mechanical interlocking safety systems: opening one drawer blocks the remaining levels, maintaining the vertical center of gravity within safe limits.
Before shipment, our Quality Control department conducts rigorous tests on all components: ultrasonic testing of deep penetration welds, salt spray testing for powder coatings, and dynamic load deflection tests using calibrated weights. Deflection calculations strictly respect the L/300 margin (or L/500 for automated crane interfaces) under maximum service loads.
Optimized heavy-duty storage configurations designed for logistics distribution, tool auxiliary staging, and heavy engineering storage.
Established in 2015, Shenzhen Shibang Storage Rack Co., Ltd. operates a modern 32,000 square meter factory utilizing advanced CNC forming, automated robotic welding, and powder coating systems.
