Create New and Efficient Storage Areas with Steel Structures

Steel storage-area systems are modular steel structures that convert unused height in factories, warehouses and industrial facilities into a new storage level. They increase stock capacity without requiring a new building, preserve existing production areas and improve space utilization.

Each system is engineered specifically according to stored products, total loads, column spacing, rack layout, forklift routes, fire-escape paths, service penetrations and existing building geometry.

What Is a Steel Storage-Area System?

A steel storage-area system is a structural platform that creates a new storage level between the existing floor and the roof or upper slab.

Depending on project requirements, the system may include:

  • Steel columns
  • Primary and secondary beams
  • Horizontal and vertical bracing
  • Chequered plate, grating or composite decking
  • Stairs and landings
  • Guardrails and toe boards
  • Loading gates
  • Base plates and anchors
  • Rack and material-layout zones
  • Service and sprinkler penetrations

Advantages of Steel Storage Areas

Use Existing Volume Efficiently

Convert unused height into a second storage level without increasing the building footprint.

May Reduce the Need for a New Building

Increasing storage capacity within the existing structure can postpone a new warehouse or building investment.

Preserve Production Areas

Column and stair locations can be planned around machinery, racks, doors and vehicle routes.

Offer Fast Installation

Workshop-prepared steel components shorten installation time when assembled on site.

Offer a Modular and Expandable Structure

New columns, beams and deck modules can be added or adapted to different product groups.

Can Be Dismantled and Reused

Bolted systems can be dismantled and reinstalled elsewhere when conditions are suitable.

Types of Storage-Area Systems

Freestanding Steel Storage Floors

Independent systems that transfer loads to the ground through their own columns and beams.

Rack-Supported Storage Systems

High-density storage systems in which lower-level rack uprights also support the upper floor.

Storage Areas Above Production

Prepared for light materials, spare parts or WIP storage above assembly and production zones.

Box and Spare-Parts Storage Floors

Designed for organized storage of small products, consumables and spare parts.

Technical and Maintenance Storage Areas

Separate tools, fixtures, maintenance materials and technical equipment from production.

Modular and Custom-Designed Systems

Developed for dismantling, future expansion, special geometry or integration with existing buildings.

Key Design Considerations

  • Dimensions and weights of stored products
  • Distributed and point loads
  • Column layout and beam spans
  • Existing concrete-floor capacity
  • Clear heights above and below
  • Rack and product layout
  • Forklift, pallet-truck and pedestrian routes
  • Deck type and slip-resistance requirements
  • Stair, landing and escape arrangement
  • Guardrails, toe boards and loading gates
  • Fire protection, sprinklers and lighting
  • Cable, pipe and ventilation penetrations

Application Areas

  • Factory warehouses
  • Logistics centers
  • Spare-parts warehouses
  • Raw-material and semi-finished-product areas
  • Storage above production lines
  • Automotive and supplier industries
  • Metalworking and machinery manufacturing
  • Food and packaging facilities
  • White-goods and electronics production
  • Organized industrial zones

Our Production and Installation Process

Each project is evaluated individually according to storage purpose, load capacity and site conditions.

1. Requirements Analysis and Site Survey

The target storage area, products, loads, building dimensions, floor conditions, machinery, access routes and services are evaluated.

2. Layout and System Design

Column grids, beams, decking, stairs, loading zones, guardrails and rack layouts are determined.

3. Technical Engineering and Manufacturing

Structural sections, connections, base plates and anchoring details are defined, and steel components are manufactured according to technical drawings.

4. Surface Treatment and Quality Inspection

Blasting, primer, electrostatic powder coating, industrial wet paint or galvanizing is applied. Dimensions, welds and installation compatibility are inspected.

5. Shipment and Site Installation

Columns are anchored and beams, bracing, decking, stairs and safety components are installed in sequence.

6. Final Inspection and Handover

Connections, verticality, deck continuity, loading zones, access and site compatibility are checked before handover.

Modification and Expansion of Existing Storage Areas

Existing systems may require reinforcement or expansion because of stock growth, product changes, rack-layout revisions, corrosion, deck wear or damaged connections.

Following a technical inspection, the following works may be carried out:

  • Column, beam and bracing reinforcement
  • Addition of new modules and storage area
  • Deck renewal
  • Stair and landing modification
  • Addition of guardrails and toe boards
  • Installation of loading gates
  • Rack and product-layout modification
  • Base-plate and anchor renewal
  • Surface-coating renewal

Material, Decking and Surface Options

Material and surface systems are selected according to load capacity, product type and environmental conditions.

Carbon-Steel Profiles

Provide durable and cost-effective solutions for columns, beams, bracing and primary structural elements.

Chequered-Plate Decking

Provides a durable, cleanable and slip-resistant surface for intensive industrial use.

Galvanized-Grating Decking

Allows air, light and liquid passage and is suitable for technical and humid areas.

Composite or Wood-Based Decking

Can provide a flatter and quieter walking surface for light storage and personnel use.

Electrostatic Powder and Wet Paint

Provide durable surfaces for indoor applications or projects requiring corporate colors.

Hot-Dip Galvanizing

Provides long-term protection in outdoor, humid and highly corrosive environments.

Why Nevas Çelik?

Projects are not limited to standard storage-floor dimensions; they are prepared according to stored products, actual loads, column spacing, rack layout, forklift routes, floor conditions and site operations.

Site survey, technical design, steel fabrication, surface treatment and professional installation are managed within a single process. Reinforcement, expansion, deck replacement and access modification can also be carried out on existing storage areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much load can a steel storage area carry?

Load capacity is engineered according to product weights, column and beam spans, deck type, load distribution and floor conditions.

Can it be installed in an existing factory?

Yes. It can be installed in an active facility through site survey and controlled installation planning.

Can the storage floor be dismantled and moved?

Bolted modular systems can be dismantled and reinstalled when the new location meets dimensional and loading requirements.

Can racking be installed on the upper floor?

Yes. The upper-floor capacity can be engineered according to rack and product loads.

Which decking options can be used?

Chequered plate, galvanized grating, composite panels, wood-based boards or project-specific surfaces can be applied.

Can an existing storage area be expanded?

Yes. New modules, decking, stairs and loading areas can be added following technical assessment.

A Project-Specific Solution for More Storage Capacity

Technical assessment and project engineering can be provided for a steel storage-area system suited to your facility height, products, load capacity and site layout.
