High-performance gravity storage systems and checkout modules optimized for immediate implementation in Krakow, Warsaw, Poznan, and Wroclaw.
Analyzing the logistics boom in the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region and the critical role of fluent rack engineering.
As the undisputed logistics heartland of Central and Eastern Europe, Poland has witnessed unprecedented demand for highly optimized warehousing configurations. Attracted by geographic centrality, rapid highway expansions, and competitive operational parameters, massive multi-national third-party logistics (3PL) providers, retail organizations, and automotive suppliers have established logistics hubs in corridors surrounding Warsaw, Wrocław, Poznań, Upper Silesia, and Gdańsk.
In response to hyper-accelerated e-commerce transactions and the rising cost of industrial floor space, typical static racking layouts are no longer sufficient. High-efficiency fluent shelves (also known globally as carton flow racks or gravity rollers) have emerged as an indispensable operational component. Utilizing gravity-assisted incline tracks and dynamic roller lanes, fluent shelving allows packages, bins, and cartons to slide seamlessly from the loading (replenishment) side to the retrieval (picking) aisle, applying strict first-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory protocols.
In highly regulated distribution sectors such as pharmaceuticals in Łódź, fresh food distribution in Poznań, and high-precision electronic component assembly in Wrocław, standard racking systems fail to solve the labor congestion and picking path latency bottlenecks. By deploying custom-engineered dynamic carton flow systems, warehousing operators isolate inventory replenishment tasks from picking activities. Pickers work uninterrupted on one dedicated aisle while replenishing teams stock the opposite side. Travel times within the warehouse are reduced dramatically, yielding substantial savings in labor costs and a safe, ergonomic work environment.
Discover our engineering capabilities, heavy manufacturing facility, and high-performance quality standards.
Operating internationally under the high-performance brand DuraRacks, Nanjing Dulis Warehouse Equipment Co., Ltd. was established in 2014. We possess more than 12 years of industry engineering experience and 9 years of direct export experience. Our manufacturing headquarters spans a cutting-edge 38,000 square meters industrial zone equipped with advanced structural steel processing systems, automated cold-rolling, and robotic welding stations. With an annual export turnover of $32 million USD, DuraRacks is a trusted tier-one supplier to leading distribution hubs across Europe and North America.
We work in close cooperation with over 1,200 qualified supply chain partners, enabling us to source premium structural steel profiles, high-durability plastic rollers, and customized mechanical accessories at competitive scale pricing. We manage an active R&D team consisting of 68 design and structural engineers. This team utilizes advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software to model load stresses, ensure compliance with European FEM/EN racking regulations, and design seismic-resistant structures suited to the specific geological parameters of European project sites.

Uncover the economic and structural advantages of direct sourcing from Nanjing for your Polish warehouse developments.
Sourcing large-scale warehouse equipment such as fluent shelves and heavy-duty selective pallet racking directly from Chinese OEM/ODM factories like DuraRacks offers significant cost and technical advantages for Polish companies. The cost of raw materials in China, combined with advanced automated manufacturing processes, results in highly competitive pricing, even when accounting for ocean shipping costs to the Port of Gdańsk or Port of Gdynia.
However, the value of direct sourcing goes beyond cost reduction. Our engineering capability allows us to customize racking systems to match specific operational workflows. We provide structural calculations that comply with EN 15512 standards, custom lane designs to support different carton sizes, and adjustable gradient systems that can adapt to changing stock profiles. By working directly with our factory design team, Polish logistics operations can ensure their storage solutions are optimized for maximum space utilization and picking efficiency.
Every component we manufacture undergoes structural verification. Using Finite Element Analysis (FEA), we model stress distributions to prevent beam deflection and upright buckling. Our team of 45 QA inspectors conducts weld testing, material thickness checks, and coating adhesion tests to ensure long-term structural integrity in busy warehouse environments.
Over the past 9 years, we have optimized our export packaging and container load configurations to maximize shipping density and prevent damage during transit. We work with leading freight forwarders to handle customs documentation and coordinate transport from China directly to logistics parks across Poland.
A high-performance carton flow rack requires precise mechanical balance. The angle of incline must be carefully calculated based on carton weight, carton material, and roller design. Typically, an incline between 3% and 5% is optimal. If the slope is too flat, cartons will not flow reliably; if it is too steep, packages can accelerate too quickly and cause impacts at the pick face. DuraRacks provides custom-configured lane dividers, entry guides, and integrated speed controllers for longer flow paths to protect fragile goods and ensure smooth, controlled carton movement.
