This case study presents a successful export project of stainless steel channel (Canaleta de aço inox / Stainless Steel U Channel) supplied for a Porta Paleteira (industrial pallet rack system) in Brazil. The customer required a durable structural profile suitable for heavy-duty warehouse racking in a humid environment with long-term load stability requirements.
Product Specification
Product Name: Stainless Steel Channel (Canaleta de aço inox)
Material Grade: 304 Stainless Steel (Inox 304)
Size: 5.3 × 47 × 100 mm
Length: 6000 mm
Quantity: 3000 pieces
Application: Porta Paleteira / Warehouse Pallet Racking System
Project Requirements
The client's main requirements included:
High corrosion resistance for indoor + humid warehouse conditions
Strong structural rigidity for pallet racking load support
Accurate dimensional consistency for assembly and welding systems
Long service life with low maintenance cost
Large-volume stable supply (3000 pcs bulk order)
Material Selection & Solution
We recommended 304 stainless steel channel steel (Inox 304 U Channel) due to its:
Excellent resistance to rust and oxidation in humid environments
Stable mechanical strength for structural applications
Good weldability and fabrication performance
Cost-effective solution compared to 316 when chloride exposure is moderate
The U-channel structure (100 mm height) provides strong load distribution and is widely used in warehouse rack frames, support beams, and industrial structural systems.
Manufacturing & Processing
Precision roll forming / hot forming for consistent U-shape geometry
Controlled dimensional calibration (5.3 mm thickness accuracy control)
Fixed length cutting: 6000 mm
Straightness and tolerance inspection for racking compatibility
Surface finishing for clean industrial appearance
Application Advantages
High load-bearing capacity for pallet rack structures
Excellent corrosion resistance in warehouse environments
Easy installation and welding compatibility
Suitable for modular racking system design
Long-term durability reduces replacement and maintenance cost
Project Outcome
The 3000-piece order of 304 stainless steel channel steel was successfully delivered to Brazil and applied in a large-scale warehouse pallet racking system (Porta Paleteira). The client reported excellent structural stability and corrosion resistance performance, ensuring safe and efficient warehouse storage operations.
