Hänel Storage Systems

The Hänel Lean-Lift® combines efficient storage and protection of goods.  The core of this system is a microprocessor-managed chain-driven lift known as an extractor. Storage shelves, placed in front of and behind the extractor, hold items in optimally arranged containers. The extractor automatically accesses these locations to store or retrieve the requested container, delivering goods to an ergonomic level access window.

This innovative design is versatile and suitable for various industries, including medical technology, electrical engineering, automotive, aerospace, pharmaceuticals, mechanical engineering, and wholesalers.

The Hänel Lean-Lift® automatically delivers items to the access window within seconds, which is designed for ergonomic retrieval by your staff. This approach significantly reduces access time and enhances order-picking efficiency. 

The Hänel Lean-Lift® maximizes storage capacity by utilizing room height efficiently, storing parts in high-density positions without wasting space. This minimizes footprint and reduces costs while ensuring optimal use of available space. 

The Hänel Lean-Lift® features customizable storage options for items of various sizes and shapes, with some shelf options having load capacities capable of exceeding 2,000 lbs. 

Hänel controllers function as independent inventory management systems or can integrate with customers' data processing systems, providing a real-time inventory overview. 

 The Hänel Rotomat® has a compact design focused on maximizing storage capacity. By utilizing vertical space and bringing items to the person, not the person to the items, Rotomat® is capable of providing up to 60% more storage in a small footprint. It features self-supporting steel plate casing, lockable, smooth-sliding doors, and an eco-friendly powder coating with durable, shock-resistant finishes. Hänel's capable motors allow for gentle yet powerful acceleration and braking under varying loads. 

Hänel Rotomat® carousels have no height restrictions, aside from building limitations. Multiple access points can be placed on different levels for quick retrieval, and their compact design significantly boosts storage capacity.

Carriers with adjustable interiors provide endless configuration options for parts of various sizes and materials. Individual carousels can be easily combined with additional units for quick expansion. 

The compact storage design in Rotomat® equipment shortens storage and retrieval distance, significantly enhancing order picking speed and efficiency. 

 The ergonomic Access Window design reduces physical strain on employees by decreasing the need for stretching, bending, and walking long pallet rack aisles to retrieve items.

Hänel's high-performance lift controllers and storage management software enhance the Lean-Lift® and Rotomat® systems, allowing workers to efficiently manage various tasks such as tracking article numbers, storage locations, and inventory. Hänel systems can be clustered and integrated into various IT environments due to their intelligent control systems and open architecture. Additionally, Hänel offers advanced solutions including optical augmented reality and Pick-by-Voice for highly efficient picking processes. 

Hänel’s inventory management software streamlines workflows by managing storage locations, articles, tools, stocks, and order fulfillment tasks.  Barcode Scanners, Badge Readers, and Mobile Scanners are also supported.

 Hänel storage units can be integrated with the customer's IT and existing ERP systems. 

Optimization analysis and control programs reduce unused space and position frequently accessed containers nearer to access points for quicker retrieval. 

Integrating automated material handling systems like conveyors, carts, sorting equipment, and racks enhances the coordination of receiving, storing, retrieving, and shipping goods. This optimizes operations for manufacturers, hospitals, and distributors, leading to time savings, reduced labor and handling costs, lower inventories, and improved customer service. Options to enhance the functionality of Hänel Lean-Lift® and Rotomat® carousels include software modules for barcode scanning, voice control, inventory monitoring, adjustable container speed, and more.

 Coordinated equipment simplifies the entire inventory handling process. 

Accurate scanning enhances item location and retrieval, minimizing errors and saving time. 

 Dependable software tools for overseeing all facets of material handling. 

Integrating other traditional warehousing and manufacturing equipment such as conveyors, automated ground vehicles, or manned carts, reduces hazards for your labor force and safeguards goods from damage during transport to production, assembly, and shipping.
