Dunton Logistics
Engineered to handle extreme loads in processing plants, agricultural hubs, and bulk distribution centers within Burkina Faso and across the sub-Saharan logistics corridors.
Located in the Cascades Region of Burkina Faso, Banfora represents a key economic gateway. Strategically positioned along national transit routes connecting Bobo-Dioulasso to the northern borders of Côte d'Ivoire, the area serves as an essential trading corridor. The local economy is driven heavily by agricultural production, industrial-scale sugarcane cultivation (dominated by SN-SOSUCO), cotton processing (SOFITEX), and bulk food processing units.
Historically, agricultural and industrial operations in Banfora relied on simple, low-density floor stacking. However, modern supply chain dynamics require local factories, wholesalers, and logistics operators to shift toward verticalization. Scalable storage infrastructure like heavy-duty selective pallet racking and cold chain configurations are now essential. These systems protect raw materials, manage inventory turnaround times, and withstand the structural demands of high-humidity and high-temperature environments.
Through high-grade steel manufacturing, optimized seismic load designs, and localized logistics support, we supply high-performance warehousing solutions directly to the Banfora industrial corridor. This ensures local enterprises can reduce material waste, improve stock rotation, and expand their shipping capabilities to neighboring West African markets.
Heavy industrial manufacturing and high-throughput raw material warehousing require customized selective racking. Standard systems are prone to structural deformation when loaded beyond limits. Our Q235B high-tensile steel uprights are rated for up to 4,000kg per level.
As trucks move between Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, and Burkina Faso, the Banfora dry storage hubs act as transshipment buffer zones. Standardized pallet spaces optimize truck load-out times, turning loading bays into hyper-efficient logistics channels.
Industrial operations globally are migrating from simple space allocation to active space management. Below is the technology transition path for modern warehousing operations.
ASRS (Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems) combine heavy-duty racking with stacker cranes, reducing human error, lowering operations costs, and maximizing volumetric storage density by utilizing heights up to 40 meters.
Semi-automated shuttle systems run within dedicated deep lanes, removing the need for forklifts to enter the racking structure. This is ideal for food, beverage, and cold storage units requiring high density and strict FIFO/LIFO inventory rules.
Galvanized steel and epoxy-powder-coated finishes prevent structural failure caused by humidity, temperature cycling, and chemical exposure in agricultural, pharmaceutical, and cold chain environments.
For companies operating in emerging agricultural centers like Banfora, choosing a manufacturer that understands both regional constraints and advanced global engineering principles is key to maintaining long-term operations.
A racking system is not just steel framing; it is a structural safety installation subject to dynamic and static load forces. Our production lines use advanced Fanuc automated welding robots to ensure every weld connection is consistent and load-tested.
We design systems according to international engineering standards, including FEM 10.2.02 (European Racking Code) and RMI (Rack Manufacturers Institute) guidelines. From seismic bracing calculations to baseplate and concrete floor anchoring designs, our engineering team ensures safety, durability, and reliability.

Our comprehensive structural steel catalog. These designs can be customized, scaled, and configured to meet the specific demands of your warehouse layout and business operations.
Industrial operations in developing trade corridors like Banfora face specific logistical challenges: high freight costs for raw materials, long import times for production machinery, and a tropical climate with a wet season that increases humidity levels. Designing efficient storage facilities requires careful planning. Floor-based stacking limits capacity and increases the risk of damage to bottom-tier goods. By implementing engineered vertical storage systems, operations can increase capacity by up to 300% within the same physical footprint.
Every warehousing design must balance selectivity and storage density:
Because West Africa experiences distinct dry and wet seasons, moisture management is critical to prevent corrosion. Rust on vertical supports or load-bearing beams can weaken the steel structure over time, creating safety hazards.
To address this, our systems feature galvanized finishes and heat-baked epoxy powder coatings. This protective barrier seals the structural steel, shielding it from moisture, dust, and operational wear, which reduces maintenance costs and extends the lifespan of the racking.
