I'm trying to achieve the layout above. Here we have a minimal example with 4 images and 2 tables separated. I wasn't able to mix these two types.

Heres an example of a possible solution using minipages; the captions were provided using the \captionof and \caption* commands from the caption package:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{booktabs}

\begin{document}

\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}{.5\textwidth}
  \centering
  \begin{tabular}{ll}
    \toprule
    column1a & column2a \\
    column1b & column2b \\
    column1c & column2c \\
    column1d & column2d \\
    column1e & column2e \\
    \bottomrule
  \end{tabular}
  \captionof{table}{test table 1}
  \label{tab:test1}
  \begin{tabular}{ll}
    \toprule
    column1a & column2a \\
    column1b & column2b \\
    column1c & column2c \\
    column1d & column2d \\
    column1e & column2e \\
    \bottomrule
  \end{tabular}
  \captionof{table}{test table 2}
  \label{tab:test2}
  \caption*{\tablename s:~The general caption}
\end{minipage}%
\begin{minipage}{.5\textwidth}
  \centering
  \includegraphics{name1}
  \captionof{figure}{test figure 1}
  \label{fig:test1}
  \includegraphics{name2}
  \captionof{figure}{test figure 2}
  \label{fig:test2}
  \includegraphics{name3}
  \captionof{figure}{test figure 3}
  \label{fig:test3}
  \caption*{\figurename s:~The general caption}
\end{minipage}%
\end{center}

\end{document}

Example Code:

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}[b]{|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
\textbf{Item-No.} & \textbf{name} & \textbf{cross section} & \textbf{grade}\\
\hline
\textbf{W1} & Z-column & HN350x175 -- 346x174 & Q235\\
\hline
\textbf{W17} & Horiz. support transversal hoist beam & HW100x100 & Q235\\
\hline

\multicolumn{4}{c}{\vspace{1cm}}\\

\hline
\textbf{P11} & longitudinal hoist beam & HN300x150 -- 300x150 & Q235\\

\end{tabular}

[Tex/LaTex] Vertically align two separate TikZ figures below each other using the subfig package

The second rectangle is not indented, the first one is not really centered and this is not due to the subfig package nor to the use of figures created using TikZ.

The problem here is that, inside \centering (\raggedleft and \raggedright and similar), \newline behaves as the "normal" \\ which is basically \@normalcr\relax and this produces undesired behaviours illustrated in the example below. \centering redefines \\ (but \newline keeps its standard definition) to (essentially) \par\addvspace{-\parskip} so when using \centering (\raggedleft and \raggedright and similar) you should use \\ or \par but no \newline:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[showframe,a6paper]{geometry}% just for visualization purposes

\begin{document}

\noindent
\begin{minipage}{\linewidth}
\centering
Center \\
Center \par
Center?
\newline 
Center
\end{minipage}

\end{document}

enter image description here

Your example code using \par and \\:

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{subfig}
\usepackage{tikz}

\newcommand\rect{%
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw (0,0) rectangle (4,4);
\end{tikzpicture}%
}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
\centering
\subfloat[First rectangle.]{\rect}
\par
\subfloat[Second rectangle.]{\rect} 
\\
\subfloat[Third rectangle.]{\rect}
\caption{This is a figure with three rectangles horizontally aligned}
\end{figure}

\end{document}
