Vertical Storage Systems
Storage Solutions
A vertical storage solution can help you work safer, more efficiently, and more cost effectively by maximizing your workspace and the space around it. The biggest challenge in storage is figuring how to maximize your space for an efficient and productive environment. Traditional storage shelving will quickly consume your floor space and lead to clutter and hazardous conditions. Productivity provides several vertical storage solutions.

Since the 1953, Hänel has stood as the worldwide leader in automated records and material handling. Leading manufacturers across the globe depend on Hänel Storage Systems every day to make their businesses more efficient, more productive and profitable.
Lean-Lift® Vertical Lift Module - combines storage efficiency and material security in one integrated unit. At the center of the cabinet is a computerized lift called the extractor. In front of, and behind, the extractor are the storage shelves or pans. These are used to store the various articles or materials. Materials can be stored directly on the pans or the pans can be configured with dividers, totes, etc. The storage locations are accessed through the micro-processor controller. At the touch of a button the extractor stores or retrieves the pan requested. Pans are delivered to the operator comfortably at the optimum ergonomic height.
