As Greece solidifies its role as the major southeastern gateway for European logistics, key areas like the Thriasio Plain, Aspropyrgos, Elefsina, and the industrial zones of Sindos in Thessaloniki are witnessing unprecedented warehousing expansions. Industrial operators handling long structural steel columns, aluminum extrusions (a massive Greek export sector), copper tubing, and heavy marble panels require robust, custom-engineered storage configurations.
Unlike standard palletized goods, long-span structural materials cannot be safely or efficiently stored on traditional selective racking. Cantilever rack structures provide the unobstructed horizontal space required for side-loader and crane operations. When manufacturing for the Greek market, the design must handle coastal atmospheric humidity and seismic parameters specific to the region.
Greece stands as one of Europe's most seismically active regions, making structural safety a top priority. Standard static calculations are insufficient. To ensure complete compliance, DeltaStorage manufactures systems in accordance with EN 15635 (Steel static storage systems) and Eurocode 8 (EN 1998 - Design of structures for earthquake resistance).
Our structural engineers execute Finite Element Analysis (FEA) modeling based on localized seismic zones (Zone I, II, or III) using horizontal force coefficients. Columns and base assemblies are manufactured utilizing high-strength structural steel profiles (S355JR / Q355B equivalent), supported by heavy-duty chemical anchoring configurations. This ensures structural integrity during seismic events and protects both personnel and assets.
Providing high-density automated racking systems, heavy-duty cantilever racks, and customized structural mezzanine platforms worldwide.
Leveraging a robust supply chain network of 1,850+ upstream and downstream partners, DeltaStorage exports advanced logistics systems across North America, Northern Europe, East Asia, the GCC region, and Southern European hubs like Greece. Our operations are fully ISO14001, CE, and TUV certified. Quality verification relies on advanced inspection methods such as spectrographic raw material alloy analysis, automated optical weld seam inspection, continuous salt-spray weathering simulation, and multi-axis dynamic load durability testing.

Our 48,000 m² facility near Ningbo Port integrates automated cold roll forming, robotic welding, and CNC laser processing.
DeltaStorage's facility is situated close to Ningbo Port, one of the world's primary shipping hubs. This strategic location enables direct ocean freight routing to major Greek ports, such as the Port of Piraeus (Athens) and the Port of Thessaloniki.
By utilizing direct maritime shipping lines, we minimize transshipment risks, optimize shipping lead times, and reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) for our Mediterranean partners. All products are bundled and strapped using heavy-duty structural steel bands, customized wood packaging, and dynamic loading layouts to ensure components arrive free of distortion or surface damage.
Our dedicated team coordinates shipping logistics and customs compliance under European Union regulations, including EORI registrations, CE declarations, and complete product material test certs (MTRs) matching EN 10204 3.1.
Whether your project requires cold-rolled profiles, dynamic load-bearing mezzanine beams, or heavy cantilever racking, all documentation is compiled to facilitate smooth customs clearance at Greek ports of entry. This administrative readiness eliminates unexpected port demurrage costs and keeps your project timeline on track.
Technical answers concerning material specs, Eurocode certifications, local setup, and global distribution logistics.
We use ANSYS Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to verify the base plates, welded joints, and bracing patterns against Eurocode 8 (EN 1998) parameters. By calculating local ground acceleration rates, we supply customized thick-gauge structural baseplates, oversized chemical expansion anchors, and specialized high-ductility steel grades (Q355B / S355JR equivalent) to survive dynamic loads.
For locations near high-saline coastal zones like Piraeus, Patras, and Thessaloniki, we offer hot-dip galvanization complying with ISO 1461. This creates a zinc-iron alloy barrier that provides corrosion protection. For indoor, temperature-controlled facilities, we apply an electrostatic thermosetting epoxy-polyester powder coat (60-80 microns thickness) with high scratch and impact resistance.
Yes. Our engineering division houses 120 R&D specialists. We customize cantilever vertical heights up to 12 meters, arm lengths ranging from 600mm to 2500mm, and incline angles to prevent roll-off. We also provide detachable safety end stops, guide rail integrations for narrow aisle (VNA) forklifts, and arm pipe-sleeves to protect delicate materials like copper piping.
Our systems comply with European warehouse directives, including EN 15512 (Steel static storage systems), EN 15635 (Application and maintenance of storage equipment), and EN 15620 (Tolerances, deformations, and clearances). We are certified under CE and TUV Rheinland, guaranteeing high-grade weld seam integrity and reliable load-bearing capabilities.
Typically, manufacturing is completed in 20-30 days from layout approval. Transit times via sea freight from Ningbo Port directly to the Port of Piraeus range from 22 to 28 days. In total, expect delivery within approximately 45 to 60 days, including export packaging and documentation steps.
Yes, we provide detailed, 3D-modeled installation blueprints, assembly schematics, anchoring parameters, load-rating plates, and structural load charts. Our engineering team can also coordinate with local Greek installation partners to ensure proper erection and alignment in accordance with EN 15635 guidelines.
