Flexible, cost-saving, damage-avoiding
Automatic timber or heavy-duty storage systems
Specialized high-bay warehouse solutions for heavy and bulky goods
For heavy and bulky goods, we develop and implement high-bay warehouse solutions with tailor-made storage and retrieval and conveyor technology. This allows goods with a wide range of dimensions and weights to be stored in a space-saving and gentle manner using sophisticated storage strategies. At the customer's request, we also integrate the automatic just-in-time connection to production and dispatch provision.
The advantages at a glance
- Decoupling of production processes, pre-processing and finishing in order to maximize flexibility, Customer orientation and production performance
- On-demand packaging and provision of timber or other heavy-duty packages for customer shipping and in-house further processing in production
- Increased and plannable loading performance
- Reduction of manual processes
- Fully automated, multi-stage packaging and transport preparation to secure the products themselves and to ensure an efficient and gentle loading process
- The gentle, automatic conveying and handling technology prevents damage to the products and therefore avoids the costs of complaints and replacement deliveries
- Consistent use of plastic chain conveyor technology made from high-quality, lubricant-free plastic for maximum protection of the product during in-house transport

What makes timber and heavy-duty warehouses so special?
Automatic timber or heavy-duty warehouses enable the efficient and space-saving storage of heavy goods thanks to customized, fully automated storage and retrieval technologies that minimize manual intervention. Gentle conveying technologies protect the goods from damage and integrate seamlessly into production and shipping processes, increasing efficiency and reducing costs.
How it works
The state-of-the-art intralogistics solution for timber and heavy goods includes multi-aisle high-bay warehouses as well as connecting, individually developed, gentle modular belt conveyor technology for order-related sequencing, packaging, stacking and route-specific provision with subsequent semi-automatic truck loading in the loading hall.
The conveyor technology transports the heavy-duty packages from the production area to the high-bay warehouse. Here, the load units are temporarily stored and, depending on the order, either loaded onto trucks for internal or external customers for further processing. For truck loading, the parcels are put together in the correct sequence and route, packed and stacked if required. A distribution trolley then transports the heavy-duty parcels to the respective staging lane next to trailers in the loading hall.
Intelligent intralogistics strategies with the HiLIS product portfolio
Warehouse management, system control, system visualization and truck loading are carried out using the tried-and-tested HÖRMANN Intralogistics HiLIS, which communicates with the customer system via an interface.
