Chile represents one of the most demanding seismic environments globally for structural warehouse engineering. Positioned along the Nazca and South American tectonic plate convergence zone, logistics infrastructure in locations from Antofagasta and Valparaíso to the Metropolitan Region of Santiago must withstand peak ground accelerations (PGA) exceeding 0.45g. Standard off-the-shelf industrial racking configured for static European or Asian seismic profiles poses catastrophic collapse risks when subjected to Chile's subduction-zone earthquake motions.
As a specialized OEM/ODM Drive-In Pallet Racking Manufacturer supplying South American logistics hubs, our engineering team integrates strict compliance with Norma Chilena NCh2369.Of2003 (Diseño sísmico de estructuras e instalaciones industriales) and NCh433 into every racking structure destined for Chilean ports. Drive-In racking, due to its deep-lane cantilevered arm design and absence of conventional beam ties inside picking tunnels, requires specialized lateral stiffness and torsional bracing parameters to prevent structural rack sway and beam dislodgement under seismic shear forces.
High-Ductility Steel Profiles
Fabricated using certified cold-rolled structural steel (Q235B / Q355B grades) offering exceptional ductility and yield strengths up to 355 MPa to absorb energy under seismic oscillations without brittle fracture.
Over-Sized Baseplates
Engineered with expanded thickness (8mm to 16mm) heavy-duty anchor baseplates and dual Hilti/Fisher seismic expansion or chemical anchors per column, ensuring rigid floor-slab coupling.
Top & Back Diagonal Bracing
Integrated rigid top-beam portal frames and heavy X-bracing truss networks across the rear and upper tiers to redistribute horizontal inertial forces directly to the building slab.
OEM/ODM Technical Fact: Our engineering design for Chilean drive-in racking utilizes proprietary 5-hook heavy-duty beam connector brackets with safety lock pins that prevent accidental vertical unhooking caused by vertical ground acceleration waves during seismic events (PGA vertical components up to 0.70 of horizontal PGA).

Send an InquiryFrequently Asked Questions
Technical and commercial answers for Chilean warehouse managers, procurement heads, and structural engineers importing OEM/ODM Drive-In Racking from China.
How do your Drive-In racking designs comply with Chilean Seismic Standard NCh2369?
Our structural engineering department utilizes Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software calibrated to NCh2369.Of2003 and NCh433 requirements. For Chilean seismic zone 3 projects (high PGA up to 0.45g), we engineer heavy-gauge Q355B steel uprights, enlarged baseplates with heavy chemical anchor stud sets, rigid top tie frames, and back diagonal bracing towers. Full structural engineering calculation reports can be provided for municipal building permit approval in Chile.
What are the import tariff rates for steel racking from China to Chile under TLC?
Under the China-Chile Free Trade Agreement (TLC Chile-China), industrial steel racking imported under HS Code 7308.90 enters Chile at 0% import tariff duty. We issue a formal Form F Certificate of Origin with your shipping documents, allowing your Chilean customs agent (Agente de Aduana) to declare duty-free clearance at ports like San Antonio or Valparaíso, saving you the standard 6% ad-valorem tax.
How does Drive-In racking perform in Chilean fruit export cold storage (-1°C to 4°C)?
Drive-In racking is ideal for seasonal fruit packing in regions like Rancagua and Curicó. Because fresh cherries and apples are stored in large homogeneous pallet batches per variety, deep-lane LIFO storage maximizes cold room capacity. Our dual-layer powder coating finish protects the steel against condensation corrosion during rapid door-opening cycles in humid packing seasons.
What shipping ports do you deliver to in Chile, and what are typical lead times?
We ship direct to all major Chilean ports including Valparaíso, San Antonio, Antofagasta, Iquique (ZOFRI), and Puerto Montt. Factory manufacturing time is typically 15 to 25 days depending on project volume. Ocean transit time from Shenzhen/Ningbo ports to San Antonio/Valparaíso is approximately 28 to 35 days.
Can you manufacture Drive-In racks customized for local Chilean pallet sizes?
Yes. As an OEM/ODM manufacturer, we custom-engineer pallet rail spacing and clearance widths to match your specific pallet dimensions—whether standard 1000mm x 1200mm industrial pallets, 1200mm x 1200mm Chilean fruit bins, or custom wooden skids. We ensure optimal forklift driver clearance inside the drive-in lanes.
Do you provide installation support or CAD layout drawings for Chilean buyers?
We provide 100% free warehouse CAD layout drawings, 3D structural visual models, and detailed step-by-step installation manuals with component numbering. For large Chilean projects, we also provide virtual engineer supervision or on-site installation guidance to assist your local installation crew.
What is the difference between Drive-In and Drive-Thru pallet racking?
Drive-In racking has a single entry/exit point per picking lane, operating on a LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) inventory basis—ideal for long shelf-life goods or single-variety fruit batches. Drive-Thru racking opens at both ends, allowing forklifts to enter from one side and exit from the other, enabling FIFO (First-In, First-Out) rotation required for high-turnover perishable food products.
