Engineered specifically to meet structural load standards and density requirements in Melbourne’s industrial corridors.
In modern distribution corridors across Victoria, from the Western industrial cluster of Truganina and Derrimut to the South-East’s Dandenong South and Braeside, the cost of industrial land has reached historic highs. High warehouse tenant occupancy rates and rising square-meter rental costs mean logistics operators, e-commerce fulfillment centers, and manufacturers cannot afford to waste vertical space.
An **attic platform system (mezzanine floor)** provides an ideal alternative to relocation. By leveraging the vertical clearance of a building, enterprises can double their operational floor area without modifying the external structural shell of the warehouse.
"Rather than leasing additional real estate at premium tariffs, integrating a structurally sound steel mezzanine increases floor space utilization by up to 100%, offering rapid ROI within months."
The Australian industrial sector operates under rigorous safety guidelines. Erecting an attic platform factory structure in Victoria requires meticulous compliance with structural engineering standards. These systems must resist the static dead loads of the shelving and flooring, dynamic live loads of warehouse operations (personnel, pallet jacks, and product traffic), and potential seismic factors specific to the local geology.
Understanding these variables is critical for foreign sourcing procurement. Structural integrity cannot be compromised when optimizing industrial facilities.
Understanding the engineering frameworks required for safety and compliance in the Victorian market.
Ensuring compliance with local standards for steel storage racking, focusing on structural stability, regular testing, load rating compliance, and deflection limits.
Engineered for specific Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL) capacities ranging from 300 kg/㎡ to over 1500 kg/㎡. Limits deflection to under L/250 for main floor beams to protect personnel and inventory.
Designed to comply with AS/NZS 1170.4 requirements. Anchor plate size, structural brace configuration, and floor fixings are analyzed for dynamic stability in industrial environments.
Established in 2015, Guangzhou Fangjiu Shelf Co., Ltd. is a leading manufacturer of heavy-duty warehouse racking and industrial storage systems. The company operates a modern 32,000-square-meter manufacturing facility that supports global supply chain optimization. With 16 years of industry experience and 8 years of dedicated international export operations, Fangjiu Shelf delivers storage solutions designed for durability, safety, and operational efficiency.
Driven by professional technical capabilities, we achieve over $18 million in annual export turnover, supplying storage products to key markets across North America, Western Europe, and Southeast Asia.
Supported by a comprehensive Quality Management System (ISO 9001, CE certified) and a team of 35 quality control specialists, every production run undergoes material validation, robotic weld testing, load stress evaluation, and powder-coating thickness audits.
Our integrated supply chain connects us with over 850 partners, enabling us to support global clients—including logistics parks, heavy industrial distributors, and retail organizations. Our R&D team, which includes 18 design and structural engineers, handles OEM/ODM specifications such as bespoke dimensions, variable load capacities, color matching, and seismic bracing design.
Highlighting our focus on continuous development, Fangjiu Shelf introduced 45 new optimized storage products last year, helping to advance warehouse safety and efficiency standards globally.

How our manufacturing capability supports local distributors and installers across Victoria.
Sourcing structural components directly from our manufacturing facility in China helps optimize procurement budgets. By removing regional intermediary markups, Victorian companies can reallocate capital to site preparation, electrical work, and local compliance approvals.
Our facility utilizes high-grade steel (standard Q235B and Q355B equivalent grades) to ensure consistency. Combined with automated rolling lines, we maintain tight tolerances on every column, beam, and decking tile.
We handle shipping documentation and load containerized freight to reduce transit risks. Operating from major export gateways in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, we provide reliable sea freight access to the Port of Melbourne.
Our flat-packed structural parts are secured with heavy-duty steel bands and wrap protection. This packaging helps minimize shipping damage and ensures clear part labeling for efficient unloading and installation at your site.
Select and configure compliant storage options to optimize warehouse footprints across Melbourne.
Answers to common structural, compliance, and logistical questions for our Melbourne and global clients.
In Victoria, attic platforms and mezzanine floors must align with the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and Australian Standards like AS 4084-2012 for racking and AS/NZS 1170 for structural design actions. Fire safety measures, including sprinkler systems and emergency exits, must also be integrated according to local building regulations.
Our structural platforms are engineered to handle loads from 300 kg/㎡ up to 1500 kg/㎡ Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL). The final structural design is calculated to match the load requirements of your inventory and equipment.
Importing directly from our factory in Guangzhou removes intermediary markups. This approach helps lower structural costs, allowing budgets to be allocated to shipping, assembly, and local engineering certification.
We use high-grade cold-rolled steel (grades equivalent to Q235B and Q355B). All components are finished with a multi-stage thermosetting epoxy powder coating. This process provides reliable corrosion and scratch resistance in industrial environments.
Standard manufacturing lead times are 20 to 30 days from engineering sign-off. Shipping to the Port of Melbourne typically takes 18 to 25 days, depending on shipping line schedules.
