Industry-specific storage systems

The secure and efficient storage of your product range ensures greater customer satisfaction and is a critical factor for saving time and money in the warehouse. The storage and presentation of heavy products in particular represents a major challenge.

Many types of shelving systems quickly reach capacity. Here, OHRA racking systems prove to be robust, durable and reliable. They meet all conditions necessary for accommodating as much heavy building-material products as possible in less space. The high quality of the pallet and cantilever racking, made from hot-rolled steel profiles, ensures a durable and economical storage solution for your building materials storage.

Cantilever racks

Cantilever racking is especially suitable for the storage of long, bulky and heavy stored goods, e.g. timber, gypsum plaster boards, concrete, amouring iron or steel profiles. These robust storage systems, which are made of hot-rolled standardized steel profiles, do not have any front face supports, offering a long uninterrupted storage level and are, therefore, suitable for the storage of varying product sizes and assortments on one storage level. To avoid damage to the racking and more importantly your stock, the cantilever arms are designed so that; on impact, the height adjustable arms move up and sideways. OHRA cantilever racking is manufactured individually and can be positioned indoors and outdoors, if desired with roof and wall.

• Rack columns and cantilevers made of solid, hot rolled IPE steel profiles
• Preparation for later double-sided use is available as an option
• Horizontally mountable and detachable cantilever arms (K+H system)

Pallet racks

The OHRA P3 pallet racking has been developed especially for the construction industry, in order to store heavy loads such as bricks, concrete parts or cement bags safely. When storing a large variety of palletised products, pallet racking is widely accepted as the most universal storage systems. In the construction material sector the storage of heavy and bulky goods is a challenge. Most conventional pallet racks are at full capacity and max out their loading capacities. OHRA Pallet Racks are long lasting and stable! The use of hot-rolled steel profiles for the supporting components of OHRA’s pallet racking allows for the safe storage of your goods. The high-quality of the frames and beams ensures a durable and thus economical solution for your building material warehouse. The use of hot-rolled steel profiles allows for high load capacities even with large storage levels.

Your benefits:

• Bay load up to 32,700 kg, beam load up to 5,100 kg
• Standard beam width up to 4,500 mm
• Material thickness of frames 6-15 mm
• High-quality powder coating
• Hot-dip galvanized design for outdoor stora

Rack clad buildings

For outside storage, the racks can be covered individually. OHRA provides various roof constructions. OHRA rack clad buildings perfectly unite necessary building functionality with the purpose of a conventional rack system. They are therefore less expensive than conventional warehouses filled with racking, because the rack frames serve as supporting elements for roof and wall. Independent building constructions is, therefore, normally unnecessary. Individual design versions allow customization of your storage requirements. From planning, through the construction, manufacturing, delivery and installation – everything is from one source.

Storage platforms

OHRA steel platforms can be used in various ways. Whether as additional storage area, picking area, sales floor or work space, the individual design possibilities are endless. The self-supporting construction fits into any existing building and can be customized individually according to the available space. Creating additional storage place without changing the existing structure.

A low-cost solution for doubling warehouse space.

• Payloads standard 250 – 1,000 kg
• Distance between supports up to 8.5 m.
• Suitable for dynamic loads with a stacker, for example
• Up to 5 floors feasible

Request for proposal

Vertical Racks

For many goods, such as moulding, profiles, bars or tubes, vertical racking systems are the perfect and customer-friendly type of storage. Different items and sizes can be sorted and presented to be readily accessible in the warehouse or sales room.

Gaigher + Penn

Gaigher + Penn, a specialist dealer in building materials for roofs and façades, has replaced the previously used, partly welded sheet metal racks with five 18-metre-long cantilever racks from OHRA. Made of hot-rolled, solid walled steel profiles, the racks offer both more load-bearing capacity and an increase in storage capacity, as well as significantly more safety for the employees. In addition, the integrated roof construction protects the goods from the weather. This means that the company can now flexibly stock an even larger range of products for its customers in the same space.

4PLUS Bouwmaterialen B.V.

4PLUS Bouwmaterialen B.V., a purchasing organisation for building materials, has more than doubled the capacity of its central warehouse in Born, in the Netherlands, by installing OHRA cantilever racks.

Arabesque

Arabesque, the largest distributor of building materials and finishing products in Romania, has significantly expanded its storage capacity: OHRA's new cantilever racks reach a total length of over 250 metres at a height of up to 5,280 millimetres. The new racking system requires far less space than the previous floor storage system, so Arabesque now again has sufficient capacity to expand and enlarge its product range. This means that customer requirements can continue to be met reliably in the future.

Ulma

ULMA Construction has created new storage capacity for formwork panels by installing OHRA cantilever racks in only six months. The 58 meter long external racks with roof and clad back wall were specially adapted to the different dimensions of the plywood panels by varying the centre distances within the racks. This makes it possible to store any panel size without the panels bending during storage.

Budmax

New heavy-duty racks from OHRA allow Budmax, one of the largest distributors of building materials in Bulgaria, to store bagged goods efficiently. Thanks to the construction of solid hot-rolled steel profiles, the racks allow a high capacity beam load of 5,000 kilograms. With a frame height of 4,580 millimetres, Budmax can now store the pallets of bagged goods weighing up to 1,200 kilograms on four levels; this enables significantly better use of space as well as much easier and faster access to the items.
