Question: Herr Gröpl, you are responsible
for all the logistics and the pallet store. What prompted
you to introduce a new storage system?
|
|
|
Herr Gröpl: Here at MEGA we manufacture
high-quality cast metal products that undergo galvanization
processing. Our production halls were bursting at the seams,
so we decided to invest in a new building.
|
|
| We placed the galvanization
unit on the ground floor of the new building and the grinding
shop on the 2nd floor. The 1st floor is used as an in-process
storeroom for product dispatch. |
|
| The parts destined for the
grinding shop are put into temporary storage in the Lean-Lift
pallet store by the galvanizing shop. Since the Lean-Lift is
also used as a transport lift for pallets between the 3 stories,
parts can be transported directly from the galvanization shop
to the grinding shop or be retrieved from the galvanization
shop. This improves the work situation considerably and makes
substantial savings in work time and storage space. |
|
|
Benefits that speak for themselves:
|
|
 |
Decentralized
storage, more flexibility! |
|
Huge
reduction in access times! |
|
Maximum
use of storage volume due to height-optimization! |
|
Up to
60% more space on the same footprint! |
|
Straight
into the lift with the trolley! |
|
Up to
1000 kg load per container! |
|
Optimum
tailoring to corporate requirements! |
|
Ideal
as pallet transport system spanning multiple stories!
|
|
High
cost-efficiency and cost reductions! |
|

|
Question: Why did you opt for the Hänel
Lean-Lift?
|
|
|
Herr Gröpl: The following criteria
were instrumental in our choosing the Hänel Lean-Lift system:
|
|
|
Reduction
of space requirements, improved use of storage capacity. |
|
Professional,
competent advice, impressive planning of the system through
the 3 stories, and problem-free linking of the 3 departments
with each other. |
|
The user-friendly
system and simple operation of the lifts. |
|
The outstanding
price-performance ratio and excellent delivery time. |
|
|
|
Question: What has improved in the
work situation as a result of the new Hänel Lean-Lift pallet
store?
|
|
|
Herr Gröpl: The new building and linkup
of internal departments made it necessary to install a pallet
storage system spanning 3 stories. As a result, each department
can now be supplied with materials from a central point and
finished products are brought to the dispatch department quickly
and smoothly.
|
|
|
There is no longer any need for lengthy,
inconvenient walks to the service elevator, which saves a
tremendous amount of time.
|
|
| Also, the height-optimization
of the pallet store has saved a substantial amount of space
and maximized storage volume utilization as compared with the
previous situation. |
|
|
Question: Herr Gröpl, can you tell
us in quantitative terms what has changed?
|
|
|
Herr Gröpl: Everything is still very
new. But the smooth running and huge time savings are already
clearly noticeable.
|
|
| A particular bonus is the
increase in storage capacity and quick access to the required
parts. |
|
|
Question: How do you rate Hänel's performance
in terms of consulting, planning and implementation of the
work?
|
|
|
Herr Gröpl: The competent advice and
the professional approach to problem solving impressed us
particularly. The Hänel system consultants kept their promise:
strict observance of the delivery deadline, smooth installation
and successful integration into our internal logistics concept.
|
|
|
Question: Would you recommend the Hänel
Lean-Lift pallet store to others?
|
|
|
Herr Gröpl: Without a doubt!
|
|
| Experience gained during
our day-to-day work confirms that we at MEGA made the right
decision in our choice of the Hänel Lean-Lift pallet store. |
|
| Herr Gröpl, thank you for
taking the time to speak to us, and we wish you and MEGA continued
success. |
