Powered roller conveyors and parcel sortation in a Chinese logistics warehouse, with workers scanning parcels
Racking & Conveyors, E-commerce & 3PL

Not another rack vendor.
A storage & conveyor system.

From our base in Zhengzhou, we help European e-commerce and 3PL operators source engineered pallet racking and conveyor systems from proven Chinese manufacturers, with localised layouts, on-site QC, and logistics built in. A system that supports your real throughput and labour targets, not a catalogue dump.

Racking + conveyor Specified as one system
15–25% Indicative equipment saving (varies)
On-site QC Welds, uprights, conveyor testing
12–18 days Rail to Europe (vs 30–40 by sea)
Who this offer is for

For operators who want a system, not a catalogue

If you are planning a new warehouse or major refit and want to stretch capex further without compromising on quality, this is for you:

  • E-commerce brands building or upgrading in-house fulfilment centres.
  • 3PLs and parcel companies expanding depots or cross-dock hubs.
  • Industrial warehouses modernising from static storage to more automated handling.

What you get

Racking and conveyors, specified as one system

We don't just ship you racking, we put together integrated kits built around your layout, load classes, local codes and growth plan.

  • Selective pallet racking optimised for your pallet sizes, aisle widths and handling equipment (reach truck / VNA)
  • Drive-in/through and double-deep racking for dense storage lanes
  • Cantilever racking for long or awkward goods; mezzanine floors for pick and light storage
  • Gravity and powered roller conveyor for carton and tote flow
  • Belt conveyors for inclines/declines; diverts, merges and accumulation for buffering and sortation
  • Interfaces to parcel sorting and DWS systems where required
  • Carton erectors, sealers, auto-baggers and packing lines from OEM partners
  • Safety hardware, rack guards, column protectors and barriers

Why Chinese racking and conveyors make sense

Mature suppliers, properly matched and verified

Leading export-focused Chinese makers run design, production and installation under one roof, span simple gravity lines to complete logistics automation, and offer modular designs that can be pre-assembled to cut installation time. Many advertise long export track records and large client lists, claims we verify per supplier rather than take at face value.

The equipment cost advantage versus European or North American systems is commonly cited around 15–25%, with production lead times typically a few weeks to a couple of months depending on configuration. We treat those as real but conditional: they hold once the equipment is correctly specified, the factory is vetted, and the documentation stands up, which is exactly the work we do on the ground.

Example economics

What a mid-sized e-commerce warehouse looks like

As a rough scale, a mid-sized e-commerce warehouse might need:

  • 1,500–3,000 pallet positions of selective racking.
  • 150–300 metres of carton/tote conveyor (a mix of gravity and powered).

Correctly specified and consolidated, that is typically five- to six-figure euro equipment capex. With an indicative 15–25% equipment saving versus European-built systems, and your own value added on design, QC and logistics, there is realistic margin in a project while still delivering an attractive per-position cost to the client. We don't promise a fixed percentage; we quote against your real layout and compare on total cost of ownership.

How Ériu Sourcing runs the project

Independent sourcing and QC, end to end

01

Discovery & data

We review your layout, pallet/box sizes, throughput, handling equipment and automation ambitions.

02

Concept & spec

With your team or designer, we draft a storage and conveyor concept and translate it into Chinese equipment specifications.

03

Supplier matching

We identify 1–3 racking and conveyor suppliers with export track record and request project-specific offers.

04

Technical comparison

We compare steel grades, finishes, load ratings, conveyor specs, controls, warranties and cost on a like-for-like basis.

05

Visits, QC & acceptance

Factory visits where needed, clear acceptance criteria (upright samples, weld quality, conveyor testing), and pre-shipment inspection.

06

Consolidation & logistics

We consolidate shipments and route via Zhengzhou's rail/air/road links to your chosen European port or site.

Compliance & safety

Equipment that arrives documented and safe to sign off

We make sure factories provide load charts, test reports and engineering documentation for racking, and CE marking with safety documentation, manuals and electrical schematics for conveyors and moving machinery. All of it is verified at the factory against the exact configuration before shipment.

You remain responsible for local compliance and installation to national regulations, but we ensure the equipment base and documentation are strong enough to support sign-off, and that safety hardware is specified from the start, not bolted on later.

Is this offer right for you?

It's a strong fit if…

  • You have concrete warehousing projects in your pipeline.
  • You want to control cost and quality, not just buy catalogue systems.
  • You're open to using a China-side partner while keeping client relationships and design in-house.
Common questions

Racking & conveyor sourcing, questions answered

Last reviewed: June 2026

Who are racking and conveyor systems from China for?

E-commerce brands building or upgrading in-house fulfilment centres, 3PLs and parcel companies expanding depots or cross-dock hubs, and industrial warehouses modernising from static storage to more automated handling. If you are planning a new warehouse or a major refit and want to stretch capex further without compromising on quality, this is built for you.

What is included, is it just racking, or a system?

We put together integrated kits, not loose racking. Racking covers selective pallet, drive-in/through and double-deep, cantilever, and mezzanine floors, specified to your pallet sizes, aisle widths and handling equipment. Conveyors cover gravity and powered roller, belt inclines/declines, and diverts/merges/accumulation, with interfaces to parcel sorting and DWS where required. Ancillaries include carton erectors, sealers, auto-baggers and safety hardware. Everything is built around your layout, load classes, local codes and growth plan.

How much can I save sourcing racking and conveyors from China?

The equipment cost advantage versus European or North American-built systems is commonly cited in the region of 15–25%, but it varies by category, configuration and the steel price at the time, and is partly offset by freight and local installation. We give an honest cost band against your actual layout rather than a blanket percentage, and compare on total cost of ownership, equipment, freight, installation, spares and support.

What does a mid-sized e-commerce warehouse typically need?

As a rough scale, a mid-sized e-commerce warehouse might need 1,500–3,000 pallet positions of selective racking and 150–300 metres of carton/tote conveyor (a mix of gravity and powered). Correctly specified and consolidated, that is typically five- to six-figure euro equipment capex. Exact figures depend entirely on your throughput, building and automation level, which is why we quote against your real layout.

What compliance documentation comes with the equipment?

Load charts, test reports and engineering documentation for racking; CE marking under the Machinery Directive, manuals and electrical schematics for conveyors and moving machinery. We verify it at the factory against the exact configuration. You remain responsible for installation and compliance to national regulations; we make sure the equipment base and documentation are strong enough to support sign-off.
