Engineered to withstand geographic challenges while maximizing storage density and distribution speed.
Chile stands as one of Latin America's most dynamic and stable economies, acting as a crucial logistics and trading hub for the southern cone. From the mining hubs of Antofagasta to the bustling logistics parks surrounding the Santiago Metropolitan area, and the maritime trade terminals in San Antonio and Valparaíso, efficient warehousing is the backbone of Chile's commercial growth.
Operating in Chile requires a deep understanding of local building regulations, specifically the stringent seismic design code NCh2369 for industrial structures. Standard European or North American racking designs often fall short when subjected to the high-amplitude seismic forces common to the region. As an experienced exporter, Ningbo Xinyi designs steel structural shelving with enhanced structural baseplates, heavy-duty upright frames, and dynamic bracing configurations tailored to satisfy Chilean safety regulations.
Furthermore, the booming Chilean e-commerce sector—accelerated by major retail giants and 3PL providers—has triggered a massive demand for optimized space utilization. Transitioning from basic storage to modular, multi-level mezzanine and light-to-medium racking systems allows local businesses to optimize warehousing footprints and maximize vertical storage height, reducing operating costs per square meter.
Our engineering team performs Rigorous Structural Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis simulating the seismic conditions of Santiago (Seismic Zone 2) and coastal areas like Valparaíso (Seismic Zone 3). We construct systems using structural grade Q235B and Q355B steel, assuring safety, structural flexibility, and high load capacity under lateral dynamic loads.
A trusted global leader in heavy-duty industrial storage racks and material handling solutions.
Established in 2015, Ningbo Xinyi Metal Products Co., Ltd. is a leading manufacturer specializing in heavy-duty industrial storage racks, pallet racking systems, and customized warehouse material handling solutions. Spanning a state-of-the-art production facility of 38,000 square meters, we deliver high-performance racking products to global logistical hubs, distributors, and enterprise facilities.
With 11 years of deep industry expertise and 8 years of dedicated international trade experience, our annual export revenue has reached over $28 million USD. Our footprint spans 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, e-commerce fulfillment centers, industrial distributors, and large-scale retail chains.
Quality and structural integrity are at the core of our manufacturing processes. 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.
Driven by strong research and development capabilities, our engineering center hosts 28 experienced R&D engineers who specialize in custom structural design, seismic analysis, and automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS). We offer extensive OEM/ODM customization options, including custom load capacities, dimensions, powder-coating finishes, and modular accessory integrations. Last year alone, our R&D team successfully launched 185 new products and customized configurations to meet evolving market demands.
Backing our operational strength is a robust supply chain network of over 850 trusted partners providing premium steel materials, eco-friendly surface coatings, and specialized hardware components. Ningbo Xinyi Metal Products Co., Ltd. remains committed to delivering reliable, safe, and space-optimized storage solutions to empower our clients' global supply chain infrastructure.

Our racking systems are deployed in crucial sectors across Chile:
As logistics and supply chains advance, Ningbo Xinyi is driving innovation through tech-enabled design. We are integrating our mechanical fabrication expertise with the requirements of Industry 4.0:
| Racking/Shelving Category | Common Application in Chile | Material Grade | Load Capacity (Per Level) | Surface Treatment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heavy Duty Pallet Racking | 3PL Logistics, Industrial Warehouses | Q235B / Q355B Steel | 1,000 kg – 4,000 kg | Electrostatic Powder Coated |
| Medium Duty Longspan Racking | Retail Backrooms, Automotive Parts | Q235B Cold-Rolled Steel | 300 kg – 800 kg | Powder Coated / Pre-galvanized |
| Light Duty Boltless Shelving | E-commerce, Offices, Garage Storage | Steel + MDF / HDF boards | 100 kg – 175 kg | Galvanized / Epoxy Powder Coating |
| Cantilever Racking Systems | Lumber Yards, Metal Extrusion Storage | Structural Steel H-Section | 500 kg – 1,500 kg (per arm) | Hot-Dip Galvanized (Outdoor Rated) |
Our localized facility in Ningbo offers seamless access to the Ningbo-Zhoushan Port—the world’s busiest port by cargo tonnage. This strategic location cuts inland transport transit times and cost, passing major logistical savings down to our South American clients.
By purchasing directly from our advanced factory, Chilean business owners bypass the high markups of trading intermediaries. Under the China-Chile Free Trade Agreement (FTA), our storage racks and shelving units qualify for preferential tariff treatments. We provide complete certification of origin (Form F) to facilitate direct duty-free or reduced-tariff import processing, giving you an immediate competitive advantage.
Heavy-duty, medium-duty, and retail storage configurations for local logistics parks and commercial centers.
Answering major technical, commercial, and logistical queries from Chilean engineers and import managers.
We work closely with local structural engineering guidelines in Chile. We implement thicker profiles, larger seismic footplates, and heavy duty anchor bolts. Using Finite Element Method (FEM) software, our engineering department performs load and stress analysis simulating seismic activities. Calculations are done to verify structural integrity under maximum lateral dynamic loads.
Yes. Because we manufacture all racking in our factory, we provide the Certificate of Origin (Form F) for Chile. Under the terms of the China-Chile FTA, this document allows importers to claim zero or substantially reduced customs tariffs at the port of entry (such as Valparaíso or San Antonio), saving significant overhead costs.
For fresh produce, seafood, and fruit export logistics cold rooms, we provide hot-dip galvanized steel frames and premium low-temperature-resistant powder coatings. These treatments prevent rust, flaking, and structural weakness down to -30°C, complying with standard cold-chain safety regulations.
We provide full OEM and ODM services. Thanks to our in-house design engineering center, we easily adjust height, width, depth, beam steps, and sheet thickness. We offer custom electrostatic powder-coating matching any RAL color code to fit your brand identity.
Standard fabrication takes 20 to 30 days depending on the volume and customization. Sea shipping transit from Ningbo Port to Valparaíso or San Antonio takes roughly 30 to 38 days. Total door-to-port time is approximately 55-60 days.
Our QA team of 45 inspectors conducts regular raw material tensile tests, ultrasonic weld inspections, deflection testing under overload configurations, and salt-spray tests to ensure coating durability. Load capacity test certificates are provided with every shipping batch.
