Lehnhoff Hartstahl, a supplier of hydraulic excavators and related equipment, has invested in an LG-E shelving system for long-span goods developed by STOPA. The benefits include efficient use of space, greater productivity and faster access to material.
Other advantages include reduced damage to material and simple handling. The system functions as a link between the material supply and the metalworking machinery. Supported by software, it enables rapid storage and stocktaking.
Cassettes are a more efficient solution than horizontal storage because they provide quicker access to the material and make it easier to keep track of inventories thanks to integrated material management. The storage system is also flexible when it comes to configuring the storage and retrieval stations.
Spengler sums up his assessment: “We’re highly satisfied with the solution we’ve chosen, which was based on a longstanding relationship with a partner in our vicinity. Our first order from STOPA was for a sheet metal storage system, and now we’ve invested in our first shelving system for long-span goods. We estimate that it will pay for itself in two years.”
