DirectRack
Engineered to maximize warehouse throughput and retail space utilization in Bangkok’s major commercial zones.
As the primary economic engine of Thailand and a vital node within the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), the Bangkok Metropolitan Region is experiencing an unprecedented structural shift in warehousing and logistics management. Driven by the rapid growth of cross-border e-commerce, third-party logistics (3PL) providers, and international FMCG supply chains in Samut Prakan, Pathum Thani, and Chonburi, local businesses are moving away from traditional, low-density static storage towards high-density, automated, and dynamic racking solutions.
In this context, fluent shelving (also recognized globally as gravity flow or carton flow racking systems) has emerged as an indispensable operational standard. By utilizing gravity-driven roller tracks, these systems enable automated stock rotation under the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) protocol, dramatically lowering processing times while maximizing vertical warehouse space. In Bangkok's high-rent industrial zones, optimizing floor space with fluent shelves translates directly into measurable cost savings and increased throughput.
Why leading enterprises in Thailand trust DirectRack for high-density storage infrastructure.
Our structures strictly comply with international AS4084-2012 and OSHA safety standards, ensuring seismic structural safety and load-bearing integrity in Bangkok's diverse warehouse environments.
Every batch undergoes destructive testing, compression analysis, X-ray weld inspection, and magnetic powder coating thickness validation to ensure reliable, long-term operations.
Based in Dongguan, our robust supply network guarantees rapid shipping routes directly to Bangkok Port or Laem Chabang, reducing lead times to just 5 to 7 days for customized steel solutions.
Founded in 2016, Dongguan Dingguan Metal Products Co., Ltd. (DirectRack) is a technology-driven warehouse equipment enterprise located in Dongguan, Guangdong Province. Leveraging 10 years of industry expertise and 8 years of international export background, the company operates a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant covering 25,000 square meters of building area. Our annual export revenue consistently exceeds $18 million USD, supplying premium steel storage systems to worldwide logistics networks.
DirectRack maintains strict quality governance enforced by 28 specialized QC inspectors. Our quality control framework adheres to international AS4084 and OSHA safety standards. Our standard product inspection methods include X-ray weld seam analysis, coating thickness measurement via magnetic gauge, column compression destruction tests, and full-scale beam deflection loading tests to ensure zero-defect delivery.
Utilizing a seamlessly integrated OEM/ODM trade background, DirectRack has established strategic alliances with 650 supply chain partners across raw steel sourcing and automated surface treatment industries. Our primary export markets include Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and South America. Our main client types range from retail distribution facilities and automotive parts warehouses to commercial FMCG wholesale hubs.
Innovation is at the core of our business model. Spearheaded by 35 senior R&D engineers, DirectRack provides dynamic structural calculation models and fully bespoke modular storage designs. Our custom options feature customizable shelf depth/height ratios, multi-tier mezzanine configurations, anti-seismic bracing, and custom RAL color palettes. In the previous year, we successfully introduced 42 new product designs to meet evolving automated warehouse demands.
Step-by-step manufacturing and raw material processing showcasing our state-of-the-art machinery.
Purchasing material handling infrastructure directly from China has historically presented challenges regarding lead times and localization. At DirectRack, we have solved these regional bottlenecks by establishing a specialized cross-border logistics route connecting our production facility in Dongguan to major distribution hubs in Bangkok, Samut Prakan, and Pathum Thani.
By securing volume-contracted shipping slots with leading maritime freight forwarders, we bypass traditional export delays. We execute custom clearances in Shenzhen and Nansha Ports, delivering to Laem Chabang Port within 5 to 7 days of production completion. This enables Thai logistics operators, grocery retail networks, and manufacturing operations to achieve significant cost reductions of 20% to 35% compared to purchasing from local distributors, all while enjoying direct factory customization support.
Our fluent shelving systems utilize high-grade engineering polymers and cold-rolled structural steel to ensure maximum flow efficiency and durability. The roller tracks are inclined at a mathematically calculated gradient (typically between 3.5% and 5%) depending on the average package weight and dimensions. This enables cartons or plastic bins to glide smoothly from the loading aisle to the picking face.
To prevent product damage during transit down the roller bed, our engineers integrate custom speed controllers and impact dampers for heavier SKUs. This makes our fluent shelves highly effective for order picking operations in fast-paced retail warehouses, pharmaceutical storage facilities, and automotive component logistics centers in Bangkok.
Everything you need to know about implementing industrial racking and fluent shelving systems in Bangkok.
Fluent shelving relies on gravity-driven roller lanes. As a picker removes the front container at the pick face, the subsequent containers slide forward automatically. This maintains a continuous supply of inventory at the picking aisle, separating the stocking activity from the picking activity. It reduces picker walking distances by up to 50% and dramatically decreases product search times compared to traditional static flat shelving.
Yes. While central Bangkok sits on a soft clay layer that can amplify distant seismic waves, we design our heavy-duty warehouse racking systems with anti-seismic calculations that align with both standard AS4084-2012 and the local Thailand building codes (DPT standards). Our engineers customize the baseplate size, anchor bolt configurations, and upright profile geometry based on structural engineering requirements for specific locations in Bangkok.
To combat the high relative humidity typical of Samut Prakan and other Bangkok coastal zones, all DirectRack steel products undergo a rigorous pre-treatment cleaning process, including automated shot-blasting. This is followed by an electrostatic powder coating application using premium thermosetting resin baked at high temperatures. This creates a hard, non-porous finish resistant to corrosion, chipping, and chemical exposure, ensuring a long operational lifespan.
Typically, manufacturing takes 15 to 25 days depending on the structural complexity and volume of the order. Shipping from Shenzhen or Guangzhou to Laem Chabang or Bangkok Port takes 5 to 7 days. Customs clearance and local delivery to your warehouse take an additional 3 to 5 days. We also offer detailed structural installation drawings and step-by-step videos, and can coordinate with local Bangkok installation teams for turnkey setups.
