Engineered to maximize overhead capacity and streamline high-turnover logistics across Samut Prakan, Chonburi, and the EEC region.
The Greater Bangkok Area, coupled with the rapid integration of the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), is undergoing a profound structural transition. Driven by the expansion of cross-border e-commerce networks, cold chain food distribution, and regional automotive supply chains, the demand for highly efficient industrial storage solutions has skyrocketed. Traditional warehousing layout strategies no longer meet the requirements of modern third-party logistics (3PL) operations that demand accelerated stock rotation rates and maximum space utilization.
For operations located in Bangkok's key industrial estates—such as Bangplee, Amata City, and Laem Chabang—optimizing vertical clearance limits is crucial to offset rising land lease premiums. This shift has placed heavy-duty selective pallet racking at the center of modern material handling strategy. Selective racking provides unmatched SKU accessibility, ensuring immediate forklift access to every single pallet position without displacement delays.
"By executing structural finite element analysis (FEA) tailored to localized warehouse demands, Durack translates complex engineering challenges into cost-competitive structural steel designs, boosting throughput efficiency by up to 45%."
Our structural designs directly address the environmental and regulatory parameters of the Bangkok Metropolitan Region:
Founded in 2014, Durack is a premier racking system manufacturer with over 12 years of industry-leading design experience. We operate a highly automated 35,000 m² manufacturing plant, ensuring precision-welded structures and seamless global exports.
Our operations are supported by a strict quality assurance system using full-spectrum ultrasonic testing and load-bearing stress evaluations, overseen by 45 dedicated QC specialists. Building on a strong international trading background, our core markets span North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia. We maintain a reliable supply chain network of over 850 partners, catering primarily to third-party logistics (3PL) providers, automated warehouses, and large industrial distributors. Driven by an active R&D division with 65 specialized engineers, Durack offers full OEM/ODM customization options—including bespoke beam profiles, structural steel grades, and dynamic layout designs—launching over 120 new storage products last year.
Maximizing space efficiency for FMCG, cold stores, and heavy manufacturing hubs throughout Thailand.
Building high-capacity vertical racking systems in the Lower Chao Phraya River Basin presents unique engineering challenges. The top geological stratum, widely known as "Bangkok Soft Clay", possesses high compressibility and low shear strength. Under significant structural point loads (which can exceed 15 metric tons per upright in high-bay configurations), unmitigated racking footprints risk differential slab settlement, structural deflection, and system failure.
Durack's engineering division addresses these soil-structure interaction issues by designing customized, oversized steel baseplates that effectively distribute vertical load vectors. By increasing the surface area of the baseplate and using high-yield anchor bolts, we ensure the structural integrity of the racking system under heavy operational loads.
Additionally, we conduct site-specific seismic and wind-load calculations in compliance with Thailand's building codes. While Bangkok is situated in a zone of low-to-moderate seismicity, the soft clay layers can amplify low-frequency seismic waves originating from active faults in western Thailand or Myanmar. Our steel structures are designed to absorb these dynamic forces, protecting inventory and personnel.
We guarantee safety and stability through rigorous manufacturing and engineering standards:
| Parameter | Specification / Standards |
|---|---|
| Steel Grade Standard | Q235B / Q345B High-Tensile Steel |
| Safety Certifications | CE Standard, FEM 10.2.02, RMI Compliance |
| Coating Thickness | > 80 Microns (Electrostatic Powder Coating) |
| Seismic Mitigation | Designed for Seismic Zone 1 & Amplified Soft Soil Wave Response |
| Quality Assurance | Full-spectrum Ultrasonic Weld Inspections & Deflection Testing |
Adapting traditional steel structures for next-generation automated warehousing and smart distribution systems.
Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS) require strict manufacturing tolerances. Our upright frames and beam connectors are manufactured to sub-millimeter tolerances. This precision prevents structural deflection, ensuring crane sensors and automated shuttles operate smoothly at high travel speeds.
As multi-national corporations implement Scope 3 emission reduction targets, Durack is incorporating low-carbon steel sourcing and energy-efficient manufacturing processes. Our dry powder-coating systems reduce hazardous emissions, helping clients meet their sustainability goals.
Before shipping, our R&D division creates a digital twin model of the project layout. By running simulations under various loading and seismic conditions, we optimize structural dimensions, reduce material usage, and accelerate the installation phase in Bangkok.
Technical guidance on building compliance, load calculations, and installation requirements in Thailand.
Bangkok's thick, soft clay layer has low bearing capacity, which can lead to slab settling under heavy vertical loads. To address this, we design custom, enlarged steel baseplates to distribute upright load vectors. We also coordinate with local structural engineers to ensure anchor bolt patterns align with the slab’s capacity, preventing localized failures.
We use Q235B and Q345B steel grades, which offer high yield strength and ductility. To protect against Bangkok's high humidity, all steel components undergo a multi-stage pre-treatment process—including acid washing and chemical rust conversion—followed by an electrostatic epoxy-polyester powder coating (exceeding 80 microns in thickness) for excellent corrosion resistance.
Yes. Our designs are engineered to comply with the European FEM 10.2.02 standard, American RMI guidelines, and local Thai Ministerial Regulations. We perform seismic analysis using digital simulations to ensure structures can safely absorb horizontal forces and minor ground accelerations.
Yes, we design racking configurations to accommodate different types of material handling equipment. This includes configuring wider bay spacings, selecting precise beam heights, and installing guide rails and heavy-duty corner upright guards to protect the racking from impact damage during automated forklift operations.
Our typical manufacturing lead time for custom orders is 20 to 30 days. Shipping from our Guangdong manufacturing plant to the Port of Bangkok or Laem Chabang Port generally takes 7 to 10 days, allowing us to supply large-scale projects across Thailand quickly and efficiently.
We maintain a team of 45 QC specialists who perform structural inspections, including raw material verification, ultrasonic weld testing, and coating thickness measurements. In addition, we conduct regular load-bearing stress evaluations to ensure every component meets its specified load capacity before shipment.
