General Contractor: Your Single-Point Responsibility, Our Specialized ASRS Execution — Together, We Deliver Turnkey Automated Warehouses
You are the master builder—the single entity ultimately accountable for delivering a fully functional facility to the end customer. From foundation to roof, from MEP systems to interior finishes, your team orchestrates hundreds of subcontractors and suppliers, transforming architectural drawings into physical reality. Your reputation rests on your ability to deliver on time, on budget, and to specification—with no gaps, no finger-pointing, and no last-minute surprises.
Yet modern industrial and logistics facilities increasingly demand a capability that lies outside the traditional contractor’s core competency: the design, supply, and integration of automated storage and retrieval systems. ASRS technology has evolved from a peripheral building service into the operational heart of today’s warehouses and distribution centers. Its performance determines whether the facility your customer commissioned actually delivers the productivity, throughput, and ROI they require. Getting it wrong means a building that stands but a warehouse that fails—and a customer whose trust is irrevocably damaged.
KINGSHELVING is the specialized ASRS partner that general contractors trust to fill this critical gap. We are not another subcontractor competing for your attention; we are an extension of your own delivery capability—bringing deep automation expertise, turnkey execution discipline, and single-point accountability for everything within our scope.
What We Offer to General Contractors
One Integrated Scope, One Reliable Partner
ASRS projects fail most frequently at the interfaces: between rack structure and building steel, between control systems and facility electrical distribution, between software and the customer’s IT environment. KINGSHELVING’s scope encompasses the entire automated storage ecosystem—not just equipment supply, but structural engineering, control system integration, software deployment, installation, and commissioning. When you partner with us, you have a single counterparty responsible for the complete automation scope. No coordination disputes between separate rack suppliers, crane manufacturers, and software vendors. No finger-pointing when interfaces misalign. Just one partner, one contract, one accountable team.
Structural and Architectural Integration Expertise
Automated warehouses impose unique demands on the building envelope. ASRS aisles require precise column spacing; rack-supported buildings transfer substantial vertical and lateral loads to foundations; fire protection systems must interface seamlessly with rack structures; temperature-controlled zones demand careful coordination of insulated panels, high-speed doors, and refrigeration interfaces. KINGSHELVING’s engineering team brings decades of experience in structural coordination with civil and architectural designers. We do not simply deliver equipment that fits within your building—we collaborate with your design team to optimize the building itself around the automation system, reducing overall construction cost and accelerating project timelines.
Schedule Certainty from an Integrated Supply Chain
ASRS equipment is engineered to order, not stocked on shelves. Lead times for stacker cranes, shuttle systems, and specialized racking can extend beyond twelve months—yet construction schedules demand predictable delivery commitments. KINGSHELVING’s vertically integrated manufacturing model gives us direct control over our supply chain. We fabricate rack structures, assemble crane systems, and develop software within our own facilities. This integration eliminates the schedule risk inherent in projects that rely on multiple independent manufacturers. When we commit a delivery date, we control the resources required to meet it.
Installation That Respects Your Construction Sequence
Site installation of ASRS equipment is a complex, multi-phase operation that must be carefully interwoven with the overall construction sequence. KINGSHELVING’s globally deployed installation teams are experienced in working alongside general contractors on active construction sites. We coordinate our mobilization with your site access schedule, sequence our rack erection to follow floor slab completion, and synchronize crane installation with building envelope closure. Our project managers attend your progress meetings, align our work packages with your master schedule, and proactively communicate any factors that may affect critical path activities.
Single-Point Commissioning and Handover
The moment of truth for any automated warehouse is commissioning—the period when equipment, software, and operators come together for the first time. KINGSHELVING assumes full responsibility for commissioning the entire ASRS scope. Our controls engineers validate every interface; our software team demonstrates every function against the customer’s acceptance criteria; our project manager certifies that the system is fully operational and ready for handover. When we walk you through final acceptance, you can confidently present your customer with a complete, production-ready automated warehouse—not a collection of partially tested subsystems awaiting final integration.
Long-Term Warranty and Support Backed by OEM Capabilities
KINGSHELVING’s vertical integration extends to after-sales support. We manufacture the critical components of our systems; we stock spare parts; we train and certify our own service technicians. When your customer requires maintenance, upgrades, or emergency support years after project completion, they deal directly with the original equipment manufacturer—not a third-party broker. This continuity protects your reputation and frees you from post-handover support obligations.
What We Expect from General Contractor Partners
Early Engagement
The greatest value from ASRS integration is realized when automation requirements are considered from project inception, not retrofitted into completed designs. We seek general contractor partners who recognize the strategic importance of early automation involvement—and who advocate for this approach with their customers. Engage us during schematic design, and we will optimize rack layouts to reduce building height, coordinate column grids to maximize storage density, and refine load assumptions to minimize structural costs. The result is a facility that costs less to build and performs better than one where automation is treated as an afterthought.
Clear Scope Boundaries
Successful partnerships are built on mutual respect for each party’s domain of responsibility. KINGSHELVING does not purport to be a general contractor; we are a specialized ASRS integrator. We rely on our general contractor partners to provide the enabling conditions for our work: level floors, environmental control, primary power distribution, and building envelope integrity. Conversely, we assume full responsibility for our scope—and we do not expect our partners to supervise our engineering, manage our subcontractors, or guarantee our performance. Clear boundaries, clearly respected, are the foundation of trust.
Collaborative Problem-Solving
Construction projects are inherently complex; unforeseen conditions and design evolution are inevitable. When challenges arise—a delayed foundation pour, a revised column location, an accelerated occupancy date—KINGSHELVING responds as a collaborative partner, not a rigid contractual counterparty. We bring solution-oriented thinking, technical creativity, and a genuine commitment to the shared goal of customer success. We expect the same from our general contractor partners.
The KINGSHELVING Difference: Why General Contractors Choose Us
ASRS Specialization, Not Generalization
Some equipment suppliers position themselves as “integrators” while lacking deep expertise across the full ASRS technology stack. Others are component manufacturers attempting to assemble complete systems from their own limited product portfolios. KINGSHELVING is neither. We are true specialists in automated storage and retrieval—with comprehensive in-house capabilities spanning structural systems, automated machinery, control engineering, and software development. This specialization ensures that when you partner with us, you are not your customer’s experiment in an integrator’s learning curve. You are engaging a proven, focused expert.
Balance of Scale and Responsiveness
KINGSHELVING’s project volume and manufacturing capacity provide the scale required to support major construction programs. Yet our organizational structure remains agile, with flat hierarchies and empowered project teams. Decisions do not languish in review committees; technical questions receive answers from engineers, not sales administrators. This combination—large enough to perform, small enough to care—is exceptionally rare in the ASRS industry and deeply valued by our general contractor partners.
Global Execution, Local Presence
From our engineering and manufacturing headquarters in China to regional project management offices across Asia, Europe, and the Americas, KINGSHELVING delivers ASRS projects wherever our partners build. Our project managers speak your language—both literally and figuratively—understanding local construction practices, safety regulations, and business protocols. When you expand into new geographic markets, your trusted ASRS partner can expand with you.
Reputation Backed by References, Not Promises
KINGSHELVING’s track record includes successful ASRS installations for leading enterprises across manufacturing, logistics, cold chain, and specialized industrial sectors. Our systems operate reliably 24/7/365 in mission-critical applications. We do not ask general contractors to take a leap of faith; we invite them to speak with our existing partners, visit our reference sites, and inspect our manufacturing operations. Our reputation is built on delivered performance, not marketing claims.
Your Building. Our Automation. Their Success.
The general contractor who masters ASRS integration gains a decisive competitive advantage. You can confidently pursue complex industrial and logistics projects that less-capable competitors must decline. You can offer your customers a true turnkey solution—a facility whose automated core is not a post-construction retrofit but a design-integrated, performance-optimized system. And you can deliver this capability without diverting your organization from its core competency, without assuming technical risk outside your domain, and without managing a fragmented coalition of specialized suppliers.
KINGSHELVING is the ASRS partner that makes this possible. We do not compete with general contractors. We extend your reach, amplify your capability, and protect your reputation.
Your single point of responsibility. Our specialized ASRS execution. Together, we deliver the automated warehouses that define modern logistics.
