Warehouse square footage is a fixed cost, but how you utilize it is a variable that dictates profitability. The Ausrollbares Kragarmregal challenges the traditional layout by eliminating the massive “dead zones” required for forklift maneuvering. By condensing your long pipe and bar inventory into a compact, crane-accessible footprint, you can store 3x the material in the same floor area, effectively delaying the need for costly facility expansions. |
Stop Paying for Empty Air: The Economics of Aisle Width
In a standard static racking setup, the “service aisle” is often wider than the racking itself. To store a 20-foot (6-meter) bundle of steel, a forklift needs a significant turning radius to approach the rack at 90 degrees. This means you are likely paying rent, heating, and lighting for empty space that contributes zero revenue to your business.
The Ausrollbares Kragarmregal changes this equation mathematically. Because the arms extend outward to meet the lifting device (overhead crane), the service aisle only needs to be as wide as a walking operator. There is no need for a forklift to turn perpendicular to the rack. This simple architectural shift allows you to place racks closer together or reclaim that floor space for revenue-generating production machinery.
Vertical Density: Using the “Cube” of Your Building
Many warehouses suffer from “floor congestion” while leaving the upper 50% of their facility volume empty. Standard forklifts have height limitations and visibility issues when trying to place heavy, unstable round bars at heights above 4 meters. As a result, inventory spreads out horizontally.
With a crane-operated Roll Out system, the height limit is dictated by your building’s roof, not your forklift’s mast. You can safely stack 5, 6, or even 7 levels high. The “crank out” mechanism ensures that the operator has full visibility and control of the load from the ground, regardless of whether the material is on the bottom shelf or 5 meters in the air. This allows you to leverage the full cubic volume of your facility.
Accessibility Equals Speed
Buried inventory is lost inventory. In deep-stacking floor storage, accessing the material at the bottom requires moving everything on top of it. This “digging” process wastes labor hours and increases the risk of damaging customer orders.
The drawer-like functionality of these racks provides 100% selectivity. Every single bundle is accessible at any time without moving other stock. Whether you need a single piece of stainless bar for a prototype or a full bundle for a production run, the retrieval time is consistent and fast.
Streamlining Inventory Audits
Inventory visibility is often overlooked until audit time. Static racks often hide stock behind other bundles, leading to “lost” materials that are eventually written off. With a roll-out system, an auditor can simply extend a drawer to verify stock levels, check heat numbers, or inspect surface quality without needing a forklift driver to down-stack material. This transparency simplifies inventory management and purchasing decisions.
Häufig gestellte Fragen
1. Wie viel plane ich noch ein?
Most clients see a reduction in storage footprint of 40% to 60%. This is achieved by eliminating wide forklift aisles and utilizing vertical space that was previously unsafe to access with standard lift trucks.
2. Is the “Roll Out” mechanism difficult to operate manually?
Not at all. The rack features a geared crank system with a high transmission ratio. A single operator can extend a drawer loaded with 5,000 kg of steel with just 15-20 kg of hand force, similar to turning a large valve.
3. Can I store different lengths of material in the same rack?
Yes. The arms are adjustable, and the open-face design allows for storing various lengths. However, for the best density and safety, we recommend configuring the rack width to match your longest common material (e.g., 6m or 12m) to prevent overhang.
4. What happens if the power goes out?
Our standard models are mechanically operated via a hand crank, meaning they require zero electricity to function. Your operations will never stop due to a power failure, motor burnout, or hydraulic leak.
5. How is the rack anchored to the floor?
Due to the high density and shifting center of gravity when drawers are extended, the system requires a reinforced concrete floor. We use heavy-duty chemical anchors to secure the base, ensuring absolute stability even when fully loaded drawers are extended.
