Second transformer plant with fully automated cantilever storage system for steel coils in China
Heavy-duty cantilever racking from Vollert is designed for numerous applications – wherever long, bulky, and particularly heavy goods need to be stored safely. Whether slit coils, wire bundles, or other oversized workpieces: we push the boundaries where others stop and implement individually designed systems with the most powerful heavy-duty storage and retrieval machines in the world.
Cantilever storage systems for extreme loads place the highest demands on design and statics. High bending and lever forces on the cantilever arms result in considerable moments on the uprights and foundation. Load capacity, anchoring, and floor design must therefore be precisely matched to the actual load cases. Uneven loading or overloading of individual arms can lead to deformation or, in extreme cases, instability. At the same time, long and heavy workpieces require sufficient maneuvering space and suitable conveyor technology. Reliable load securing against falling, slipping, or tipping is just as essential as increased occupational safety standards, regular inspections, and a clearly structured loading concept—for permanently safe and economical warehouse operation.
