High storage capacity requirements
When it is necessary to maximise vertical development and significantly increase pallet capacity within the same available floor area.
Standard rack-supported warehouses
Load-bearing structure, maximum space efficiency
Standard rack-supported warehouses are an advanced structural solution in which the pallet racking system performs the load-bearing function of the building itself. Modulblok designs these systems as fully integrated structures, where structural engineering, load analysis and warehouse layout work together to create a solution optimised for capacity, safety and long-term durability. This configuration enables the development of high-rise, high-density warehouses, reducing the extent of civil works while ensuring full accessibility to stored loads through conventional material handling systems.
Performance-driven structural design
Integrated rack-supported structure
The racking system supports the roof and wall cladding, eliminating the need for an independent building structure and optimising construction time and costs.Standards-compliant engineering
Structural design in accordance with international standards (e.g. EN 15512, EN 16681), with particular attention to seismic actions, snow and wind loads, and operating conditions.Optimised building volume utilisation
High-rise, high-density configurations designed to maximise pallet capacity within the constraints of the available site and warehouse layout.
Key benefits
Configuration flexibility
Integration with different storage systems, including selective pallet racking, drive-in, push-back and gravity flow solutions, according to inventory rotation requirements and operational workflows.Accessibility and operational efficiency
Load units are handled using forklift trucks, with layouts designed to ensure efficient material handling and safe warehouse operations.Long-term durability and control
Structures engineered to provide stability and long-term performance, with the possibility of integrating inspection and maintenance services.
Space or expansion constraints
In environments where available building space is limited or where expansion costs are particularly high.
Workflows suitable for conventional material handling
When operational volumes and workflow complexity do not require the adoption of automated systems.
Optimised initial investment
When seeking the right balance between structural performance and CAPEX control compared to fully automated solutions.
Fast project delivery
Thanks to the integration of the load-bearing structure and building envelope, project implementation times are reduced compared to traditional warehouse buildings.
