Automated heavy-duty long-goods warehouses

Heavy-duty long goods storage systems from Vollert are designed for numerous applications and for exceptional lengths – wherever massive, long, and heavy workpieces need to be stored safely and efficiently. Whether pipes, profiles, beams, or other extra-long components: we push the boundaries where others stop and develop customized storage concepts for extreme dimensions.

Long goods place special demands on statics, organization, and handling. Long lengths cause deflection, which is why precisely defined support distances and high-load-bearing storage constructions are necessary to prevent deformation or material damage. At the same time, high individual weights and unfavorable centers of gravity affect racks, cassettes, and hall floors, which requires precise design of all structural elements. Transport is also challenging: long, heavy parts tend to swing or twist and require sufficient maneuvering space and suitable conveyor technology. Additional safety measures against slipping, falling, or protruding loads in traffic areas are essential. Well-thought-out planning of support points, load distribution, securing systems, and material flow therefore forms the basis for safe, quality-preserving, and economical operation.
