1. High Strength and Load-Bearing Capacity
Steel structures offer significantly higher tensile and compressive strength than traditional materials like concrete, allowing them to withstand greater loads (such as heavy machinery and stacked goods). They also offer excellent earthquake and wind resistance, making them particularly suitable for areas prone to typhoons and high earthquake intensity.
2. Short Construction Period and High Efficiency
Steel structural components are often prefabricated and standardized in factories. On-site, only bolting or welding is required, eliminating time-consuming steps like concrete pouring and curing in traditional construction.
For warehouses of the same size, the construction period for steel warehouses is typically 30%-50% shorter than that for concrete warehouses, enabling faster commissioning and generating economic benefits.
3. Large Spans and High Space Utilization
Steel structures enable large span designs (column-free spans of over 30 meters). This creates a spacious interior, eliminating the obstruction of columns that would hinder the stacking of goods and vehicle traffic. This allows for more flexible warehouse layout planning and improves space utilization.

4. Lightweight and Low Foundation Costs
Steel structural materials have low density but high strength. The overall weight of a warehouse is only 1/3 to 1/2 that of a concrete structure. This reduces the load-bearing requirements on the foundation, simplifies foundation design, and reduces construction costs, making it particularly suitable for areas with soft soil.
5. Highly Flexible, Easily Modifiable and Expansion-Friendly
Steel structural components are easy to disassemble and reassemble. Adjustments to the warehouse layout (such as adding mezzanines or expanding space) are simple and cost-effective.
Later-term expansions can be directly extended onto the existing structure, ensuring high compatibility and minimal impact on the existing building.
6. Environmentally Friendly and Highly Sustainable
Steel structural materials (steel) are recyclable, with a recycling rate exceeding 90%. Demolition generates minimal construction waste, aligning with green building principles.
Construction generates minimal dust and noise pollution, minimizing impact on the surrounding environment.

7. Strong Weather Resistance and Low Maintenance Costs
After anti-corrosion and fire-retardant treatment (such as anti-rust paint and fire-retardant coating), steel warehouses can effectively withstand environmental influences such as moisture, corrosion, and high temperatures, with a service life of up to 30-50 years.

Routine maintenance primarily involves the surface coating, and the cost is much lower than repairing concrete structures (such as crack treatment and waterproofing).
