What Elimec Argentina does

Elimec Argentina SRL is a privately held industrial storage and material handling solutions provider founded in 1995 and headquartered in Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina. The company designs, sells, assembles, and services automated vertical storage systems (Vertical Lift Modules and Vertical Carousels, including refrigerated variants), sliding and fixed filing systems under the Duraforce brand, a comprehensive range of pallet racking (selective, drive-in, cantilever, push-back, radio shuttle, pallet shuttle, coil, and picking racks with walkways), and material handling equipment including electric forklifts, manual/semi-electric/electric stackers, and hydraulic pallet trucks. Its product portfolio is sourced via in-house engineering and complemented by a strategic alliance with Ergometal (DH Systems) for automated high-density solutions.

The company operates a sales-led, consultative go-to-market model with no disclosed pricing; commercial executives provide design, calculation, and project engineering as part of a free technical consultation offering, and four proprietary assembly teams handle installation and maintenance. Revenue is generated from one-time hardware sales of storage systems and material handling equipment, plus professional services covering rack inspection, assembly/disassembly, hydraulic truck repair, and custom industrial building construction and civil reforms. Customer segments are predominantly industrial and manufacturing companies, logistics and distribution operators, and pharmaceutical labs across Argentina.

Elimec has served 400+ companies over 30+ years and cites testimonials from named enterprises including Cervecería y Malteria Quilmes, Milkaut (Savencia Argentina), BASF, Renopack, Juleriaque, Grupo Asegurador La Segunda, Crucianelli, and Stara.

Products and services

• VML Vertical (Vertical Lift Module) Automatic vertical lift module (VLM) for storing large volumes of varied merchandise by leveraging vertical space, minimizing plant floor area. Designed for environments combining high picking speed with high storage capacity; integrates with electronic control systems, robotic handlers, and conveyor belts for warehouse automation.
• Carrusel Vertical (Vertical Carousel) Vertical carousel system for storing small-volume items such as pharmaceutical products, aeronautical parts, and electronic components, featuring the highest robustness and motor power for rapid movement of high-rotation items; available in refrigerated versions for low-temperature requirements and integrable with electronic controls.
• Duraforce Módulos Deslizantes Mecánicos (Mechanical Sliding Modules) Duraforce mechanical sliding module system that slides one or multiple shelving units simultaneously over ultra-flat floor rails via an ergonomic crank handle, creating a single consultation aisle and approximately doubling archive capacity versus traditional fixed designs. Steel construction with electrostatically applied polyester powder-coat finish.
• Duraforce Módulos Deslizantes de Empuje (Push-Actuated Sliding Modules) Duraforce push-actuated sliding module system where shelving units slide on ultra-flat floor rails via a side-mounted push handle, creating a single consultation aisle for the operator and doubling archive capacity versus traditional designs.
• Módulos Fijos (Fixed Archive Modules) Fixed shelving modules with adjustable shelves every 25 mm, monocoque steel side panels, and longitudinal reinforcements supporting up to 100 kg per shelf, with maximum total height of 3,000 mm.
• Racks Selectivos (Selective Pallet Racks) Selective pallet rack system for homogeneous palletized loads, eliminating aisles between racks and maximizing utilization of floor and vertical space, suitable for storing many pallets of homogeneous, low-rotation products.
• Racks Penetrables (Drive-In/Drive-Through Racks) Penetrable pallet rack system providing direct unit access to pallets, positioned as the optimal solution for warehouses with high product variety and high rotation.
• Mini Racks para Picking Mini racks for storing a wide variety of small and medium-sized box products and medium-load pallets, built from galvanized steel with orange powder-coated interlocking steel beams that require no bolts and include end safety locks.
• Racks Push Back High-density LIFO storage system that stores pallets in depth on inclined rails with up to four mobile carts, reducing required aisles and enabling rapid loading and unloading with reduced handling, ideal for medium or low-rotation products.
• Racks Radio Shuttle Automated high-density storage system that uses a motorized cart to move pallets within storage channels without forklift entry, operating under FIFO or LIFO principles to optimize space and reduce loading and unloading times.
• Racks Cantil\u00e9ver (Cantilever Racks) Cantilever rack system for storing long, bulky, or irregularly shaped loads, as deployed in the BASF Arroyo Seco and Ciarrocchi SRL Ca\u00f1ada de G\u00f3mez projects.
• Pallet Shuttle System Semi-automated storage system using a motorized shuttle to move pallets within rack channels; deployed in the Renopack project with 9,000 storage positions.
• Racks Porta Bobinas (Coil Racks) Specialized rack system for coil storage, as featured in the Ortiz y Fisher project.
• Racks Picking con Tablillas Met\u00e1licas / con Pasarelas Picking rack systems combined with metal pick faces or elevated walkways, deployed in the Juleriaque, Grupo Asegurador La Segunda, and Stara projects.
• Zorras Hidr\u00e1ulicas Manuales (Manual Hydraulic Pallet Trucks) Manual hydraulic pallet trucks with load capacities of 3,000 kg and 2,500 kg, equipped with cast iron and polyurethane or nylon wheels and rollers.
• Apiladores (Stackers) Stackers in manual, semi-electric, and electric variants with lifting heights up to 6,500 mm and load capacities up to 2,000 kg.
• Autoelevadores El\u00e9ctricos (Electric Forklifts) Electric forklifts with fork lifting heights up to 6,200 mm and load capacities up to 2,500 kg.
• Naves Industriales y Reformas Civiles a Medida (Industrial Buildings and Custom Civil Reforms) Custom industrial building construction and civil reforms including civil works, industrial buildings, warehouses and deposits, offices, bathrooms and changing rooms for industrial facilities, thermal and hydraulic insulation, and hardened and leveled concrete floors.
