Heavy-Duty Component Storage Racking System

Project Snapshot

Client Overview

Apollo Microsystems Ltd. is a publicly listed defense and aerospace electronics manufacturer based in Hyderabad.
Their operations require systematic, high-density storage solutions for precision components, PCB assemblies,
and electronic parts — where organisation, accessibility, and structural integrity are non-negotiable.

The Challenge

Apollo Microsystems approached Kalina by SS Industries with a specific brief: maximise component and parts storage
density within an existing office-adjacent facility space, without compromising accessibility or floor circulation.

Key constraints included:

• Fixed floor area with existing workstations that needed to be dismantled and reinstalled
• Ceiling height requiring racks at exactly 2,475 mm — not a standard catalogue height
• Need for a structured layout with clear aisle access between rack rows
• Requirement for non-negotiable structural strength given the weight of electronic components

The Kalina Approach

Site Visit & Measurement

Our team visited the Apollo Microsystems facility, took precise floor-to-ceiling and floor-plan measurements,
and assessed the existing workstation layout.

Layout Planning & Placement Drawing

A rack placement plan was prepared to show exactly how 4 main units and 4 add-on bays would be configured —
maximising storage rows while maintaining clear aisle width for operational access.

Custom Fabrication to Non-Standard Dimensions

Racks were fabricated to the exact specification of 2,475 mm height — a dimension not available off the shelf.
Structural sections were selected for heavy duty load requirements:
80/50 mm × 1.8 mm uprights and 80/40 mm × 2 mm box beams.

Workstation Dismantling & Site Installation

Seven existing workstations were carefully dismantled to clear the installation zone, all 8 rack bays were installed
and floor-anchored, and the workstations were reinstalled post-completion — full site coordination handled by Kalina.

Technical Specifications

Result

Apollo Microsystems received a complete, installation-ready heavy-duty racking solution within
2 weeks of purchase order. The facility now has structured, high-density storage for components and parts inventory —
with clean aisle access, floor-anchored structural stability, and a finish specified for the industrial environment.

Deliverables included:

• 8 bays of heavy-duty racking — fully installed and floor-anchored
• Custom height fabrication to match site ceiling clearance
• GI decking panels across all 5 loading levels per bay
• Workstation dismantling and reinstallation as part of site scope
• Project completed within quoted 2-week delivery timeline

Why Kalina

• In-house fabrication at IDA Cherlapally, Hyderabad — no third-party sourcing delays
• Custom dimensions available — not limited to catalogue sizes
• Site visit, measurement, and layout planning included before quotation
• End-to-end scope: fabrication, delivery, installation, and site coordination
• Heavy-duty structural sections used as standard — not light-gauge substitutes

Storage Solution Highlights

This heavy-duty racking system was designed specifically for component storage in an industrial environment.
The use of GI decking panels, non-standard rack height, and
custom fabrication ensured the system matched both the load requirements and the available site conditions.
