Benefits and Applications of Hänel Storage Systems
Some industries and organizations require more storage than others, and choosing the right storage products is a big business decision. Hänel Storage Systems are adaptable for specialty applications ranging from government and military equipment storage (e.g., safety equipment, tactical gear, emergency infrastructure components) to offices and archives (e.g., equipment, records retention).
Manufacturing and warehousing also require secure yet accessible storage and retrieval for tools, products, records, and parts. Optimizing these systems to fit within facilities busy with machinery, forklifts, and foot traffic is critical for productivity and safety too.
New York businesses in all of these industries choose Hänel vertical storage solutions to take advantage of available vertical space and for these additional reasons:
- Better use of space. Companies can improve their use of both vertical and floor space with tall storage that brings the products to the operator’s height. This reduces the number of aisles and walkways needed to access inventory.
- Greater productivity. Goods flow automatically to an easily accessible height, eliminating walking, manual searching, and delays.
- Accuracy and speed. In order picking, records retrieval, and other applications, automated vertical shelving rotates the correct shelf of items at the touch of a button.
- Improved safety and ergonomics. The “goods-to-user” principle reduces the need for climbing ladders, reaching, bending, lifting heavy loads, and other hazards.
- Better security. Vertical lifts and carousel systems are securely enclosed to prevent loss, damage, and theft. Keycards or password-protection options are also available to control access.
- Optimal inventory management. Storage can be integrated with software and controls that keep inventory records with 99% accuracy.
- Scalable, flexible layouts. Hänel’s storage solutions are modular to fit in different vertical and horizontal layouts. They can also be scaled vertically over time.
- Eco-friendliness. These storage systems feature environmentally-friendly materials and reduce facility-wide energy consumption.
