High-performance warehouse equipment engineered to endure heavy regional snow and seismic activities across Almaty and Central Asian distribution hubs.
Designed for long materials like pipes and timber, optimized for high load capacity.
Versatile store integration systems combining high-density pallet loads with direct retail display.
Modular, boltless racking configurations suited for fast-moving retail fulfillment centers.
Industrial-grade, high-capacity cold-rolled steel profiles for heavy machinery storage.
As the strategic hub of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the key gateway for the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR or "Middle Corridor"), Kazakhstan is experiencing an unprecedented surge in modern logistics infrastructure. Major cities such as Almaty, Astana, and Shymkent are expanding logistics hubs to handle high-volume transshipments between Western China and the European Union. However, local supply chains face unique geographic demands—specifically high seismic risks in Almaty and extreme temperature swings between summer and winter.
Implementing basic shelving is no longer sufficient. Industrial operations require high-precision structural racking that optimizes space utilization, complies with rigorous structural safety certifications, and offers seamless adaptability to automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS).
Southeastern Kazakhstan, particularly the Almaty region, is highly active seismically. Racking installations must adhere to the local SNiP RK 2.03-30-2017 standards for seismic resistance. Standard static shelf calculations are insufficient for these zones. DirectRack provides engineered racking featuring specialized K-bracing, dynamic load-bearing calculations, and oversized baseplates designed to secure warehouse structural integrity during high-magnitude events.
Our structures utilize heavy-gauge Q235B and Q355B cold-rolled steel profiles, calculating safety deflection ratios using advanced finite element analysis (FEA). This prevents structural buckling under full load cycles, ensuring personnel and product safety.
In modern Class A and Class B warehouses across Astana, floor space optimization is critical due to heating expenses during winter. DirectRack's systems, ranging from multi-tier mezzanine configurations to Heavy-Duty Pallet Racking, are engineered to maximize vertical volume. Our designs offer adjustable beam pitches and custom depth-to-height ratios, helping Central Asian firms reduce facility costs.
Furthermore, our powder coating uses an electrostatic epoxy system applied to shot-blasted surfaces. This creates a highly durable finish that resists rust and degradation, making it well-suited for cold storage facilities and high-humidity environments.
Engineered with premium structural steel for maximum industrial load bearing and durability.
Rigid Q235B structural steel construction, certified for high load capacity and long-term durability.
Flexible modular pallet layout with optional safety barriers and anti-collapse steel mesh.
Engineered specifically for heavy industrial components, with capacity ratings up to 3000kg per level.
Scalable heavy duty storage configurations for logistics depots, freight forwarders, and distribution centers.
About Dongguan Dingguan Metal Products Co., Ltd. (DirectRack)
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, and now expanded to Central Asia / Kazakhstan. 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.
Operational use cases designed for the specific needs of logistics operators and retailers in Kazakhstan.
The rapid growth of platforms like Kaspi.kz has driven high demand for efficient e-commerce logistics. DirectRack's light-duty and medium-duty multi-tier mezzanine configurations maximize height utilization in urban fulfillment centers, allowing fast access to high-SKU inventories.
For cold stores and heavy industrial facilities near Almaty, seismic stability is critical. Our heavy-duty racking features high-ductility steel, specialized baseplates, and reinforced K-bracing to absorb lateral forces during seismic activity.
As modern retail chains expand in Shymkent, Karaganda, and Aktobe, shops are increasingly combining rear warehouse storage with front-of-house displays. Our hybrid display racking system provides retail aesthetics with industrial-grade load capacities.

Answers to common structural design, certification, and shipping questions for warehouse projects in Kazakhstan.
Our engineering team performs dynamic structural analysis complying with both international standards (AS4084, FEM 10.2.02) and local SNiP RK 2.03-30-2017 seismic regulations. For installations in seismic zones like Almaty, we specify heavier Q355B steel, implement K-bracing and cross-bracing structural configurations, and use thick, oversized floor baseplates anchored with specialized heavy-duty expansion bolts. This design absorbs lateral forces during seismic events, helping prevent system failure.
We maintain strict quality control throughout our manufacturing process. We employ 28 dedicated quality control inspectors. Our testing framework conforms to AS4084 and OSHA safety standards. Standard testing includes X-ray analysis of weld seams to identify internal micro-voids, magnetic gauge thickness measurements of the powder coating (targeting 80 to 110 microns), vertical column compression testing, and full-scale beam deflection tests under 1.5 times the maximum rated load capacity.
Yes. Led by our 35 senior R&D engineers, we specialize in custom layouts. Last year alone, we introduced 42 new custom structural designs. We can adjust upright pitches, beam depths, vertical profiles, and load capacities (ranging from 1,000kg to 3,000kg per level) to integrate with automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) and specialized shuttle vehicles.
We offer flexible shipping options via direct container transport. Most orders destined for Kazakhstan are routed through the China-Europe Railway Express or cross-border truck freight via the Khorgos Gateway or Dostyk land ports. This land-based routing delivers finished goods to Almaty or Astana within 12 to 18 days from dispatch. We handle export documentation, customs packing lists, and steel structural certifications to ensure a smooth import process.
Our automated powder-coating line includes high-pressure shot-blasting before coating application. This removes surface scale and rust, ensuring maximum adhesion for our thermosetting epoxy polyester powder. The resulting finish resists chipping, peeling, and corrosion in cold temperatures down to -40°C, making it suitable for cold storage facilities in northern Kazakhstan.
