Engineered for high load capacity, optimum floor space utilization, and compliance with local industrial regulations in Bogotá, Medellín, and Cali.
Colombia's strategic geographic location, serving as the gateway to South America with active ports on both the Pacific (Buenaventura) and Atlantic (Cartagena) oceans, has turned it into a major logistics and distribution hub. The rise of e-commerce, third-party logistics (3PL) platforms, and manufacturing hubs in the Zonas Francas (Free Trade Zones) of Bogotá, Cali, Medellín, and Barranquilla has exponentially increased demand for efficient footprint management.
With warehouse rental and acquisition costs rising continuously, modern Colombian enterprises are turning to structural mezzanine systems—widely known locally as estructuras de mezzanine metálico or attic platforms—to double or triple their existing footprint without the high costs of civil construction.
Whether you are upgrading a distribution center in the Sabana de Bogotá, optimizing a manufacturing plant in Itagüí, or configuring cold chain storage near Cartagena, our custom-designed steel platforms offer structural stability and modular scalability.

Industry Expertise
Designing heavy-duty platforms for the Andean region requires strict adherence to local geological realities and seismic codes.
All structural platforms destined for Colombia undergo calculation modeling matching the Reglamento Colombiano de Construcción Sismo Resistente (NSR-10). This guarantees safety across intermediate and high seismic acceleration zones like Cali, Pasto, Bucaramanga, and Bogotá.
We supply steel platform configurations capable of supporting uniform distributed loads (UDL) ranging from 300 kg/m² to over 1,500 kg/m². Ideal for accommodating heavy industrial machinery, high-density shelving, pallet jack movement, and automated picking zones.
Utilizing high-tensile cold-rolled steel profiles equivalent to Q235B and Q345B (ASTM A36 and A572 Grade 50). This delivers high yield strength and resilience under dynamic deflection tests, minimizing structural weight while maintaining structural safety.
Established in 2013, Guangzhou Fangjiu Shelf Co., Ltd. is a global leader in designing, testing, and manufacturing heavy-duty warehouse racking and mezzanine platforms.
Guangzhou Fangjiu Shelf Co., Ltd. operates a state-of-the-art facility spanning over 35,000 square meters, integrating advanced automated roll-forming and steel fabrication lines. With 10 years of structural engineering expertise and 7 years of global export experience, we maintain an annual export revenue of $49 million USD, providing solutions to 3PL logistics networks, commercial warehouses, and heavy manufacturers.
We work closely with 580 reliable supply chain partners to source high-grade raw steel, ensuring material traceabilty and price stability. Supported by 25 R&D engineers, we custom-engineer beam capacities, upright profiles, decking options (steel grating, checker plate, MDF boards), and anti-seismic bracket connections tailored to precise layout dimensions.
Quality assurance is backed by 38 professional QC inspectors operating across all phases of production, executing testing protocols to guarantee international ISO 9001 standards.

Importing large-scale structural steel mezzanine components from China to Colombia requires optimized packaging, container volume engineering, and documentation mapping to ensure hassle-free customs clearance at Puerto de Buenaventura or Puerto de Cartagena.
We pack all upright frames, main girders, secondary beams, and platform decking using high-strength steel strapping, wrapped in bubble wrap and multi-layer stretch film. Structural parts are bundled to maximize container utilization in 40ft HQ shipping containers, reducing total ocean freight costs.
Our experienced logistics department provides complete export documentation including certificates of origin (Form A / FTA benefits), mill test reports (MTR), commercial invoices, detailed packing lists, and full engineering drawings for hassle-free DIAN (Dirección de Impuestos y Aduanas Nacionales) custom clearances.
Integrate our multi-level storage racking structures, shelving configurations, and customizable warehouse storage racks to construct a complete space-efficient warehouse ecosystem.

Our engineering design software simulates regional geological forces based on Colombia's NSR-10 seismic zones. Depending on whether your installation site is in a high seismic zone (such as Cali or Pasto) or an intermediate zone (such as Bogotá or Bucaramanga), we calibrate the baseplate thickness, column profiles, chemical anchoring bolts, and horizontal cross-bracing configurations to ensure high safety margins against seismic vibrations.
Our attic platforms and mezzanine structures support UDL (Uniform Distributed Load) from 300 kg/m² up to 2,000 kg/m². Quality control inspectors run full load stress & deflection tests utilizing hydraulic test rigs to ensure that steel girders maintain their safety factors without structural deformation.
Standard fabrication takes 20 to 25 days depending on the structural complexity and raw material requirements. Transit shipping time from Guangzhou, China to Colombian ports (Buenaventura/Cartagena) averages 35 to 45 days. We coordinate loading, packaging, and custom manifests to keep imports running smoothly.
Yes, absolutely. Supported by 25 R&D engineers, we offer custom OEM & ODM design services. You only need to provide us with your building AutoCAD DWG files, ceiling heights, column layout, obstacle locations (doors, fire pipes), and target load parameters. We will produce 2D plans and 3D conceptual drawings for layout confirmation.
We execute standard Electrostatic Powder Coating pre-treated with multiple chemical washing stages. For humid, high-salinity coastal locations like Barranquilla, Santa Marta, or Cartagena, we recommend hot-dip galvanized steel components or custom corrosion-resistant primer systems validated by Salt Spray Corrosion Testing.
Our structures are engineered to be modular and 95% bolt-together, minimizing field welding. We supply detailed 3D installation blueprints, component labels, and structural assembly guidelines. If required, we can also provide online engineer supervision to assist your local installation team or general contractor during the build phase.
