General Purchasing Questions

Order & Quotation

Do you have a minimum order quantity?

Yes. The MOQ depends on the product type, size, surface treatment and customization level. Standard products usually have a lower MOQ, while customized racks, cages or support structures may require a project-based order quantity. Please send us the product model or drawing so we can confirm the MOQ for you.

What payment terms do you accept?

Our common payment term is 30% deposit before production and 70% balance before shipment or against the copy of B/L. Other payment terms can be discussed according to the order value and cooperation history.

What is the average lead time?

For standard products, the production lead time is usually around 20–30 days after receiving the deposit and final drawing confirmation. For customized products, the lead time depends on the design, quantity and production schedule.

Custom Manufacturing Questions

OEM / ODM

Can you manufacture according to my drawing or sample?

Yes. We can manufacture according to your drawing, sample or application requirement. If you do not have a drawing, you can send us the storage item size, weight, stacking requirement and warehouse usage scenario, and we can recommend a suitable design.

Product Questions

Product Selection

What is the difference between a storage cage and a stacking rack?

A storage cage usually has mesh panels and is used for storing loose goods, parts or packaged items. A stacking rack is more suitable for palletized goods, tires, barrels, fabric rolls or irregular products that need to be stacked vertically without fixed warehouse racking.

How many layers can stacking racks be stacked?

The stacking layers depend on the rack structure, load capacity, product height and warehouse safety requirements. Many heavy-duty stacking racks can be stacked in 4–6 layers, but the final design should be confirmed according to the actual load and application.

Can your racks be used by forklift?

Yes. Most of our storage cages, stacking racks, steel pallets and warehouse racks are designed with forklift access for easy handling, loading and warehouse movement.

Do you supply tire racks?

Yes. We manufacture stackable tire racks, detachable tire racks and wall-mounted tire racks for tire storage, automotive warehouses, tire shops and logistics centers.

Do you supply warehouse pallet racking?

Yes. We supply pallet racks, long span shelving, drive-in racks, mezzanine racks, cantilever racks and related warehouse racking accessories. Custom warehouse layout support is available according to your storage space and load requirement.

Do you supply adjustable steel support props?

Yes. We supply adjustable steel support props for construction, formwork support and temporary structural support applications. Different sizes, wall thicknesses, surface treatments and loading requirements can be customized according to project needs.

Shipping & Packaging Questions

Export Support

What shipping terms can you offer?

We can offer FOB, CIF and other international trade terms according to customer requirements. The final shipping cost depends on product volume, weight, quantity and destination port.

How are the products packed for export?

Products are usually packed with steel straps, plastic film, pallets or customized export packaging according to product type and shipping method. Knock-down or flat-pack designs can help reduce shipping volume for some products.

Can you help calculate container loading quantity?

Yes. After confirming the product size and packing method, we can help estimate the loading quantity for 20’GP, 40’GP or 40’HQ containers.

How do you ensure the safety of customized racks?

For customized storage cages, stacking racks and warehouse racking products, we evaluate the product dimensions, load capacity, frame thickness, mesh size, base structure and stacking method before production. The goal is to keep the product structure stable, practical and safe for real warehouse use.
