FAQ

How much does a steel logistics center cost?
Steel structure costs for logistics centers range from $25-65/m² FOB China depending on span, height, crane requirements, and cladding specification. A typical 10,000m² distribution hub costs $300,000-650,000 for the steel structure. Complete turnkey (including foundation, installation, cladding) ranges from $180-350/m².
How long does it take to build a steel logistics center?
Typical timeline: 4-6 weeks design, 4-6 weeks fabrication, 3-5 weeks shipping, 4-8 weeks installation. Total: 15-25 weeks.
What span can a steel logistics center achieve?
Portal frame steel structures can achieve clear spans of 15-60m. For wider spans (60m+), space frame systems are recommended. Multi-span designs are most cost-effective for large logistics parks.
What floor load capacity can you design for?
We design for live loads from 5 kN/m² (standard warehouse) to 25 kN/m² (heavy industrial storage). High-bay racking with point loads up to 50 tons can be accommodated.
Do you provide installation services?
Yes. We can provide installation drawings, video guidance, or send our experienced installation team to your site. We also offer erection contractor recommendations in your region.
