Okapi Logistics
Engineered for high load-bearing capacity and resilience in Lima's demanding logistics and distribution centers.
The Metropolitan Area of Lima and Callao serves as the main gateway for Peru's international trade, handling over 75% of the country's containerized cargo. With the expansion of the Jorge Chávez International Airport and the mega-port developments in Chancay and Callao, logistics operations are scaling rapidly. This expansion demands heavy-duty warehousing systems that can withstand harsh maritime climates and extreme operating conditions.
Standard wooden pallets degrade rapidly in Lima's high relative humidity (averaging 80%-90% year-round). Damp wood fosters mold, harbors bacteria, and loses structural integrity under heavy racking loads. Plastic pallets offer a moisture barrier but are prone to cracking in cold storage environments or under the stress of heavy mining equipment storage.
Iron and steel pallets have emerged as the standard for high-performance operations in Peru. Offering static load capacities exceeding 5,000 kg and complete immunity to moisture, rot, and pest infestations, they ensure seamless supply chain flows for Lima's chemical, fishing, automotive, and agricultural export sectors.
For procurement managers in Lima, sourcing structural steel pallets directly from established Chinese manufacturers like Ningbo Okapi Logistics Co., Ltd. offers significant economic and technical advantages:
By blending cost-efficient Chinese fabrication with high quality control standards (ISO9001, CE), we supply Lima's warehouses with pallets that outlast and outperform traditional local options.
A professional logistics equipment manufacturer integrating R&D, advanced manufacturing, and global trade.
Ningbo Okapi Logistics Co., Ltd. is a specialized manufacturer of heavy-duty industrial storage equipment. Our primary production facility spans nearly 10,000 square meters and is equipped with state-of-the-art machinery for stamping, deep drawing, resistance welding, wire cutting, and precision machining. With over 70 dedicated employees, including a specialized technical engineering team, we develop structural solutions that optimize warehouse space, increase handling efficiency, and minimize overall operational costs.
Our core product line includes heavy-duty metal pallets, logistics trolleys, wire storage cages, steel packing boxes, and customized industrial storage racks. Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of sectors like automotive assembly, shipbuilding, chemical processing, and agricultural cold storage, our products are built on the foundational principles of "Quality First, Customer First." This commitment has earned our products recognition across Europe, North America, Japan, and rapidly growing markets in Latin America, including Lima, Peru.

Adapting supply chains to modern sustainability standards, automation requirements, and strict international trade compliance.
As logistics operations in Peru modernize, automated distribution warehouses are increasingly deploying automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS). Traditional wooden pallets lack the dimensional accuracy required for automated sensors, often warping, splintering, or shifting under high-speed robotic movement. Precision-manufactured steel pallets prevent operational errors, ensure consistent sensor positioning, and minimize automated conveyor downtime.
High-density urban warehousing in Lima faces strict fire code safety inspections. Storing thousands of highly flammable wooden or plastic pallets poses a major fire risk. Heavy-duty metal pallets do not contribute to the fuel load of a warehouse fire, which can help lower facility insurance premiums and simplify municipal safety approvals.
Under international trade standards (ISPM 15), wooden packaging must undergo costly heat treatments or fumigation to prevent pest transfer. Custom inspections at Callao Port or US/European destinations can lead to shipping delays if certification issues arise. Metal pallets are completely exempt from ISPM 15 regulations, offering smooth customs clearance for outbound Peruvian exports.
Global corporations operating in Peru are aligning with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) guidelines. Sourcing 100% recyclable steel pallets supports corporate waste-reduction goals. Damaged steel pallets can be repaired or sold at scrap value, rather than ending up in local landfills like degraded plastic or timber pallets.
A look inside our 10,000-square-meter facility, showcasing our advanced engineering and rigorous quality control systems.
Our facility runs two advanced metal pallet production lines, equipped with high-frequency resistance welding, heavy hydraulic forming, and semi-automated cutting tools. Each batch of pallets undergoes load testing, weld integrity checks, and paint thickness analysis to ensure compliance with export standards for heavy industrial use.

Expert answers regarding logistics requirements, customs, materials, and ordering procedures for Lima & Peru.
Our heavy-duty steel pallets feature professional surface treatments, including powder coating and hot-dip galvanization. Hot-dip galvanization forms a durable protective layer that shields the core steel from moisture, salt spray, and oxidation, preventing rust in coastal logistics areas like Callao and Chancay.
During the off-season, our factory manufacturing lead time is approximately one month. During peak seasons, it can range from 1 to 3 months depending on order volume. Shipping transit from Ningbo Port to Callao Port generally takes 30 to 45 days. We coordinate directly with freight forwarders to ensure timely dispatch and customs paperwork.
No. Metal, steel, and aluminum pallets are exempt from ISPM 15 phytosanitary regulations. There is no risk of insect infestation or requirement for chemical fumigation, which helps prevent customs delays and associated costs at Peruvian borders and international ports.
Yes. We offer full OEM and ODM services. Our technical department can design steel pallets matching your specific width, length, racking style, and weight capacity requirements. We provide technical drawings and prototype confirmation before starting mass production.
