Established in 2015, Ningbo Xinyi Metal Products Co., Ltd. has emerged as a premier engineering leader specializing in heavy-duty industrial storage racks, pallet racking systems, and bespoke warehouse material handling solutions. Spanning a state-of-the-art production facility of 38,000 square meters, we design and deliver high-performance racking products to global logistical hubs, enterprise fulfillment centers, and industrial distributors. Our mission is to engineer systems that optimize structural density, safety, and operational velocity.
Leveraging 11 years of deep industry expertise and 8 years of dedicated international trade experience, we have achieved an annual export revenue exceeding $28 million USD. Our structural installations and commercial units span major global markets, including North America, Western Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, serving diverse client segments such as third-party logistics (3PL) providers, automated e-commerce fulfillment centers, heavy industrial distributors, and multinational retail networks.
Pallet flow storage systems (commonly referred to as gravity flow racks) operate on a First-In, First-Out (FIFO) inventory sequence. By utilizing a slight incline (typically calculated between 3% to 4% grade) along wheel or roller tracks, pallets are loaded from the charging aisle and flow smoothly under gravitational force to the picking face.
Integrates magnetic and mechanical braking rollers spaced at precise intervals along the dynamic lane to prevent runaway pallets and protect structural columns.
Self-adjusting dynamic braking components that respond to varying pallet weights (from 150 kg up to 1,500 kg) ensuring uniform velocity.
Adheres completely to the European design standards EN 15512 and FEM 10.2.02, validating seismic performance, structural deflection, and load limits.
Our engineers deploy complex structural FEM (Finite Element Method) simulations to analyze localized stress distribution on upright profiles under dynamic forces. We design our configurations using structural cold-formed steel sheets, ensuring that safety factor indexes exceed 1.5 times the nominal static capacity limit.

| Brake Roller Pitch | Every 2-3 pallet intervals | Engineered dynamically based on weight (1.2m - 1.5m) | CE Certified Speed Control |
| Pallet Compatibility | Euro, GMA, Industrial | All wood, plastic, or composite pallets up to 1500 kg | ISO 8611 Load Standards |
| Upright Steel Profile | High-yield Q235B & Q355B | Roll-formed profiles up to 120mm x 95mm x 3.0mm | AS 4084 / FEM 10.2.02 |
Quality and structural integrity are at the core of our manufacturing processes at Ningbo Xinyi Metal Products Co., Ltd. Supported by a rigorous Quality Assurance team of 45 certified inspection professionals, we enforce strict full-process quality control. Our quality testing methods integrate ultrasonic weld inspection, raw material tensile testing, load-capacity deflection testing, and salt-spray corrosion resistance evaluation to guarantee long-term durability and safety compliance. Below is our advanced workflow across our 38,000 square meter facility:
As smart warehousing gains universal traction, traditional gravity flow systems are adapting. Ningbo Xinyi is driving this change through a multi-tier R&D roadmap:
Integrating custom input guides and separator locks that accommodate automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). These mechanisms reduce shock loads at pick faces and prevent misalignment during automated extraction.
Developing telemetry-equipped speed controllers. These next-generation systems track pallet velocity, lane temperatures, and movement cycles, conveying critical diagnostic data to a warehouse management system (WMS) to predict wear.
Refining high-elasticity powder coatings and heavy galvanized treatments to maintain structural integrity and impact absorption profiles inside cold storage environments down to -35°C without fracturing.
Industrial facilities face the dual challenge of escalating warehouse real estate costs and rising labor expenses. Our CE Certified pallet flow systems provide custom configurations optimized for specific sector dynamics:
Cold storage spaces have exceptionally high operating costs. Pallet flow racking reduces storage floor footprint requirements by up to 60% compared to standard selective racks, maximizing volumetric efficiency inside cooling chambers.
Perishable inventory requires strict batch tracking. FIFO flow lanes guarantee that the oldest products are picked first, eliminating waste associated with expired goods and streamlining traceability checks.
Large distribution centers benefit from separate loading and picking aisles. By segregating forklift activity, cross-traffic collisions are prevented, and picking speeds are enhanced.
Serving global markets demands more than shipping structural components. Our international service package focuses on local compliance and long-term operating support:
Using location-specific seismic acceleration metrics, our R&D engineering team designs robust upright baseplates and dynamic bracing nodes to meet strict local seismic standards (e.g., USGS and Eurocode 8).
Driven by our engineering department, we offer customized solutions for non-standard sizing, specialty finishes, and custom integrations. Last year, we developed 185 custom product configurations.
Our strategic partnerships with over 850 raw material suppliers ensure access to high-grade structural steel and eco-friendly coatings, buffering our clients from supply chain disruptions.
We implement comprehensive QA protocols including ultrasonic weld scans, material yield tests, and load-limit evaluations to ensure that shipped components comply with CE certification criteria.
