The storage of heavy and oversized goods always requires a solid and thoughtful logistics service. Inefficient use of storage space for these types of heavy and oversized goods will affect the speed of meeting production progress as well as customer needs, leading to handling extremely complicated consequences. Understanding the problems that businesses are facing, Autotech offers 4 Kardex Remstar smart warehouse solutions that are ideal for these special requirements.

With automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) from Kardex Remstar, heavy duty items can be handled ergonomically and in a smaller footprint. Whether businesses need to store items that are oversized in width (such as metal sheets, wooden panels, …) or have extremely heavy weight, Kardex Remstar offers various smart warehouse solutions to manage this wide variety of inventory.

1. The TowerMat vertical lift system

The storage of long goods, metal sheets, tools, pallets, or mesh cages caused extremely complex handling issues and led to higher long-term costs. To store goods of this extremely long dimensions and heavy goods require particularly well thought-out storage logistics. Therefore, the appearance of the TowerMat vertical lift system offered by Kardex Remstar is a dynamic and flexible solution.

A TowerMat operates similarly to a Kardex Remstar Vertical Lift Module. The TowerMat utilizes a stacker crane which transports long goods to an ergonomically positioned workstation. This system can be designed with one or two storage towers for maximum capacity. The TowerMat has flexibility for many different storage mediums from long goods to pallets and heavy tools.

With the ability to efficiently store any material weighing up to 5,000 kg per carrier, the TowerMat vertical lift system from Kardex Remstar is the ideal solution for companies that want to store oversized and extra-heavy goods efficiently, safely and compactly.

2. The InterMat vertical carousel system

Kardex Remstar’s InterMat Storage System is a Vertical Carousel Module for round storage with unique requirements, for example tires or cable reels.

• For tires: The InterMat carousel is excellent for high-dense storage because it makes full use of the available room height and depth. Tire and car manufacturers benefit from fast access to smaller car tires, large aircraft tires, and heavy rims. This optimized material flow leads to a long-term increase in overall productivity.
• For cable reels: It is critical to safely store cable reels and other heavy round items so they do not take up too much space and are easily accessible. InterMat is a carousel designed for this purpose and fits in pits, outdoor areas, or as a T-bridge paternoster. It is extremely user friendly and safe. A loading trolley seamlessly stores and retrieves goods. Sectional roller shutters offer protection from unauthorized access or serve as sluice gates.

Operating as a traditional Vertical Carousel Module, the InterMat supports storage of up to 4,000 kg per carrier. Delivering stored items, directly to an operator at an ergonomic height and reducing storage space of these round and heavy goods.

In addition, the InterMat allows for flexible integration into your existing facility. Taking advantage of previously wasted overhead space, the Intermat can be installed as a bridge carousel above transit routes or in awkward corners to further increase efficiencies.

This saves space and makes it possible to find goods faster, helping to lower costs, boost productivity and increase ergonomics. 

Further, to improve ergonomic handling, the Kardex Shuttle 1000 can be equipped with a dedicated crane to lift these heavy items and keep employees safe from injury.

4. Vertical Carousel Module Kardex Megamat 650

With the same operating principle as the Ferris wheel, the movement of the Kardex Remstar Megamat 650 smart warehouse is powered by a motor,  which sends the carriers in a vertical loop around a track in both forward and reverse directions – similar to a Ferris wheel. Goods are stored or retrieved through an ergonomically positioned access opening with a work counter.

Furthermore, designed with a width of 1,975 to 4,275 mm, a height of 2,360 to 10,010 mm and a depth of up to 1,711 mm, the Kardex Remstar Megamat 650 smart warehouse is suitable for storing heavy items with high picking frequency and has a maximum load capacity of up to 650 kg per carrier.
