Esmena pallet racking joins Advanced Handling & Storage Ltd’s range as a premium solution engineered for unrivalled strength and durability. Crafted from high-tensile steel and precision-welded components, Esmena systems stand up to heavy loads and demanding environments. Whether you handle dense pallet stacks or operate in harsh conditions, Esmena delivers the reliability and resilience your operation needs.
Esmena uprights and beams use S355JR steel, offering a minimum yield strength of 355 N/mm². This exceeds the industry average of S275, providing up to 29% greater resistance to bending under load.
Beams feature a box-section design with rolled-edge flanges and internal stiffeners. With a 35% increase in section modulus compared to conventional I-beams, Esmena beams deflect less and maintain alignment over years of use.
All joints are robotically welded and undergo ultrasonic inspection. This process ensures consistent weld penetration and eliminates weak points common in manual assembly, reducing the risk of fatigue failures.
Esmena racking is hot-dip galvanised to EN ISO 1461 standard, offering superior protection against rust even in humid or chemical storage areas. Galvanising thickness averages 70 µm, more than double the typical 30 µm paint-only finish.
| Feature | Esmena Specification | Industry Average | Benefit |
| Steel Grade | S355JR (≥355 N/mm² yield) | S275 (≥275 N/mm² yield) | 29% higher load resistance |
| Beam Section Modulus | 8,500 cm³ | 6,300 cm³ | 35% less deflection under peak loads |
| Weld Quality | Robotic welding with ultrasonic test | Manual welding | Consistent joint strength |
| Corrosion Protection | Hot-dip galvanised (70 µm coating) | Painted finish (30 µm) | Superior long-term rust prevention |
How does Esmena racking handle heavy loads?
Esmena uses S355JR high-tensile steel and reinforced beam profiles to support heavier pallet stacks with minimal deflection, ensuring safe operation under maximum load.
Can Esmena be used in corrosive environments?
Yes. The hot-dip galvanised finish meets EN ISO 1461 standards, protecting racking in humid, cold-store or chemical storage applications.
What installation time should I expect?
Our certified engineers can install a standard 20-bay Esmena system in 1–2 days, with minimal disruption and full post-installation inspection.
Is Esmena compatible with safety accessories?
Absolutely. Esmena racking uprights accept bolt-on safety mesh decks, anti-collapse pins and step-in rails, all designed to integrate seamlessly.
How do maintenance requirements compare to other systems?
Thanks to galvanising and precision fabrication, Esmena racking requires only annual visual checks and touch-up of any damaged areas, reducing long-term upkeep costs.
