Engineered for direct container discharge at Tema and Takoradi Ports. Our systems utilize certified Q235B and Q355B cold-rolled structural steel, complete with hot-dip galvanized and high-adhesion anti-corrosive powder finishes designed to withstand coastal West African humidity.
Modern distribution engineering insights tailored to the macroeconomic expansion of Greater Accra, Tema Industrial Free Zone, and the inland transit corridors connecting to Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger.
Tema Metropolitan Area & Free Zone Corridors: As Ghana's premier sea freight gateway, facilities within the Tema Port enclave face elevated square-meter rental costs and aggressive demurrage expenses. Installing high-density Selective Pallet Racking (SPR) and Double Deep Racking allows third-party logistics (3PL) operators to convert containerized roll-on/roll-off cargo into organized, barcode-scanned buffer stock instantly.
Pharmaceutical & Perishable Cold Chains: Ghana's Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) enforces strict storage protocols under GDP guidelines. High-density Radio Shuttle Systems and Live Gravity Roller Racking provide the necessary First-Expired, First-Out (FEFO) and First-In, First-Out (FIFO) control within temperature-controlled facilities in Spintex and North Industrial Area.
Kumasi Central Distribution & Transit Corridors: Situated at the transport crossroads of Ghana, Kumasi warehouses demand resilient, modular heavy-duty beam racks. Facilities supplying mining inputs to Obuasi or transit freight to the Sahel border at Paga rely on robust column uprights capable of supporting irregular palletised equipment, chemicals, and construction hardware.
The AfCFTA Supply Hub Acceleration: With the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat headquartered in Accra, Ghana has transformed into the primary commercial consolidator for West Africa. Legacy ground-stacking techniques that consume floor footprint and cause pallet crushing are rapidly being retired in favor of vertical cubic storage racking up to 12 meters clear height.
E-Commerce & Multi-Tier Pick Towers: The rapid expansion of retail delivery in Accra, East Legon, and Cantonments has catalyzed the adoption of Multi-Tier Industrial Mezzanines and Boltless Longspan Shelving. These systems separate manual small-parts piece picking from pallet storage, effectively doubling or tripling usable fulfillment surfaces without requiring real estate acquisitions.
Corrosion Defense in Tropical Marine Environments: Given the salt air exposure along the Gulf of Guinea, Ghanaian operators are mandating heavy electro-galvanized or minimum 70-micron epoxy-polyester architectural powder finishes. Structural configurations must conform to European EN 15512 benchmarks to protect against steel fatigue caused by ambient relative humidity levels reaching 85%.

Our racking installations are calculated against verifiable live loads, slab deflection tolerances, forklift operational profiles, and regional logistics variables.
Every upright frame, support beam, and safety locking pin is calculated to European static testing guidelines. We provide finite element structural calculation documents and physical load capacity warning signage tailored to your warehouse slab.
Full-container (FCL) packing optimization guarantees zero transit deformation across maritime routes. We manage full export clearing documentation including clean Certificates of Conformity, Bill of Lading, Packing Lists, and Commercial Invoices for seamless GCNET/ICUMS customs clearance.
We do not simply export steel; our engineering desk delivers 3D AutoCAD layouts, beam relocation guidance, retrofit evaluations for existing legacy warehouses, and remote or on-site EN 15635 rack safety compliance protocols to guarantee lifecycle reliability.
Send your building dimensions, clear height, and forklift specifications for a complete CAD design and CIF Tema quotation within 24 hours.
Direct answers addressing customs clearance, installation oversight, humidity durability, and load profile planning.
We pack upright frames and horizontal beams into 40ft High Cube (HC) open-top or standard dry ocean containers. Upright profiles are nested with protective dunnage and heavy-duty strapping to prevent scratching or deflection during maritime rolling. Full container tracking, bill of lading, and export compliance paperwork are coordinated directly with your clearing agent in Ghana.
Standard industrial pallet racks exert significant point loads beneath each upright footplate (often exceeding 40 to 80 kN per leg). Before ordering, your structural foundation drawings must confirm slab thickness (typically 150mm to 200mm minimum) and concrete compressive strength (C25/30 minimum). We provide custom enlarged baseplates and chemical anchor calculations if soil conditions require spread loading.
Yes. We offer two installation models for Ghanaian clients: we can dispatch experienced installation supervisors to manage and certify your local contractor team on-site in Accra, Tema, or Kumasi; or we supply comprehensive, step-by-step 3D assembly shop drawings, torque specs, and alignment videos for self-installation by certified local mechanical teams.
For ambient warehouses situated within coastal zones, we treat cold-rolled steel through a multi-stage iron phosphate pre-wash followed by electrostatic thermosetting powder coating baked at 200°C. For exterior canopies, unconditioned open yards, or cold storage blast freezers, we provide continuous hot-dip galvanizing conforming to ISO 1461 to ensure rust-free service life over decades.
Selective Pallet Racking is mandatory if you manage high SKU variation with fast turnover, as it provides 100% immediate forklift access to every single pallet position without moving others. Drive-In or Shuttle Racking is vastly superior if you store homogeneous goods (such as bulk beverages, cement, or grain) where density takes precedence over individual pallet selectivity.
Forklift impacts in high-activity transit hubs are the leading cause of racking failure. We strongly advocate heavy-gauge steel upright column guards, end-of-row wrap-around barrier protections, wire mesh backstops to prevent pallet push-through into pedestrian aisles, and beam safety locking pins that eliminate accidental dislodgment during reach truck lifting.
