The first step has been the transfer of the timber trade to a new site.
OHRA has been involved since the beginning of this project, and after a short time OHRA presented a perfect planning which has been realised with racks on an area of 2,300 sqm.

Redesigned hand truck solves handling problems
A hand truck was redesigned with a single raise and a 'gas spring damper' lower and is being used for the efficient and safe handling of a multitude of packaging and raw products.
The customer ordered a planning company to organise the different works.
These were given to different companies (for racking systems, conveyor systems, high-raise trucks, warehouse administration systems).
Mr Rosenbaum, general manager and shareholder of Bunder eyplained: "It would be a great advantage to pass the order to only one general supplier with as lot of services as possible out of one hand (OHRA and Kottgen do offer this).
It makes it easier to manage a delaying or complaints".
Our partner company Kottgen supplied the two high-raise trucks with cornering technique for the four aisles of the racking systems.
Some technical details: 2,300 sqm total storage area, 4 aisles with approximately 400 m of rails, one of them as switching aisle, 1,210 storage places with a length of up to 6 m top storage level at a height of 16,000 mm2, high-raise trucks with cornering technique and full-automatic drive, 3,500 kgs payload each truck suitable for storage goods up to 6,000 mm x 2,100 mm, each truck fitted with 6 full-automatic telescopic forks and independent drive for each fork.
A suction device which is installed outside the storage area, takes the ordered plates out bfrom a full stack.
The rest returns automatically to the storage place while the suction device runs to the next stack to commission the next order out of the next stack.
A perfect solution between a full-automatic solution incl.
the automatic commissioning work (this has just been realised with the company Glaskontor in Bamberg, Germany), and the manually driven high-rack storage (wich OHRA together with Kottgen has realised with the company Fikzso in the Netherlands).
In the remaining storage areas, timber and building material is stored in different halls in a so-called flat area with a max.
Storage height of 8,000 mm.
This material is handled with fork-lift trucks and 4-way trucks.
The pictures on this side will give you an impression of this storage system.
Furthermore, OHRA has been of assistance to find the right financial partner.
The leasing of racking systems and storage technology is not that easy and requires a specialised financing company.
OHRA knows these specialists out of longstanding business relationships and will pass these contacts if desired.
