lagerstapels

Lagerstapels are a specific type of storage rack designed for the efficient organization and retrieval of long or bulky items. Commonly found in warehouses, industrial settings, and lumber yards, these racks provide a robust and accessible solution for materials like pipes, bars, lumber, and coils.

The fundamental design of a lagerstapel typically consists of vertical uprights, often T-shaped or I-shaped beams, that support horizontal arms or shelves. These arms extend outwards from the uprights, creating open bays where items can be stored. The absence of a front face on the rack allows for easy access with forklifts or other material handling equipment. Lagerstapels can be single-sided, mounted against a wall, or double-sided, allowing access from both directions.

They are engineered to handle significant weight capacities, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications. The modular nature of many lagerstapel systems allows for customization to fit specific storage needs and available space. Height and arm length can often be adjusted. Their open design not only facilitates quick loading and unloading but also aids in inventory management, as items are readily visible. The durability and strength of lagerstapels are crucial for ensuring the safety and security of stored materials.
