With metal gratings in some cantilever racks and pallet racks with a bay width of up to 4200mm, a wide variety of pallet formats can be stored. Thanks to integrated storage spaces for vertical storage in the cantilever racks, doors and window frames can be taken from the same rack as other building materials.

OHRA’s racking systems had already proved their worth at Verdouw’s existing logistics centre in Gouderak, however, storage space was no longer sufficient for further growth, so this year the company opened a second logistic centre in Apeldoorn.

Here, OHRA built 20 rows of 7.28m high racks with run lengths between 4.5m and 72m. In doing so, OHRA adapted the depth of the rack feet to the systems already installed in Gouderak so that the same forklifts can be used at both locations.

At the same time, the racking systems for storing wood and panels can be placed in the same footprint as the racks for the other building materials.
