OHRA’s customised shelving systems with mesh shelves and cantilever bridges can provide flexible space for a variety of materials and pallets.
The vertical racks enable space-saving storage of panels and unobstructed transport routes and increase storage capacities to significantly boost company productivity. With almost 7m high cantilever racks, Ihre Zimmerei (Your Carpentry) was able to multiply its storage area by a factor of nine at its new company headquarters in Metzingen, Germany. The OHRA shelving was customised to the carpentry firm’s requirements in terms of dimensions, fittings and surface coating. Thanks to the equipment with mesh shelves and arm bridges, the racks provide flexible storage space for a wide range of items and pallet formats.
Additional vertical racks enable space-saving, vertical storage of panels in a wide range of dimensions. Thanks to the shelving systems, the joinery has a high storage capacity. In addition, the variety of storage options means that the aisles are free of materials and obstructions – this alone has enabled Ihre Zimmerei to significantly increase productivity.
The rapid growth of the Ihre Zimmerei carpentry business since its formation in 2011, necessitated a move to a new company building. Not only were the workshop and production facilities expanded, but the warehouse was also to be enlarged to increase productivity. The racking system designed for the new warehouse consists of a hot-dip galvanised cantilever rack almost 16m long for outdoor use. Inside, a 15m long and a three-metre-long cantilever rack were installed. The seven-metre-high cantilever racks provide significantly more storage capacity than the floor storage and the much lower racks used at the old location. The cantilever arms of the racks, which can carry up to 1,000 kilograms, were also partially equipped with mesh shelves and arm bridges. This means that a wide variety of different types of wood, consignment items and pallet formats can be stored on the shelves.
In addition, the freely suspended cantilever arms allow the heights of the individual storage levels to be adjusted very flexibly. Two additional vertical racks were set up for storing panels of different sizes. The panels are stored vertically in these racks, enabling quick and easy access to the desired panel. All interior shelves were powder-coated in an attractive anthracite grey (RAL 7016). Ihre Zimmerei were impressed with the competent advice and the individual planning of the shelves. A customised solution was found for each of the new shelves, which can still be flexibly adapted to changing requirements later. All OHRA products are produced at the company’s own factory in Kerpen (Germany). Today, OHRA is represented by its own sales offices in 14 European countries, and in 14 other countries by its trading partners.
