Vertical Lift Module
The Hänel Lean-Lift® – storage rationalization and protection in one system: At the center of this closed system is a computercontrolled positioning lift – the ‘extractor’.
In front of it and behind it are the storage shelves. This is where the articles are stored in containers in height optimized positions. The storage locations are accessed automatically under electronic control by means of the extractor, which stores or retrieves the requested container. The goods are then delivered to the retrieval area at the correct ergonomic height.
This ingenious principle finds applications in a wide variety of industries. Used in the medical technology and electrical engineer- ing sectors (for which ESD versions are possible) and also in the automotive, aircraft and pharmaceutical industries or in mechanical engineering, the mail-order and wholesale trades – the Lean-Lift® is the ideal buffer, production or tool storage system, to name but a few applications that demonstrate its versatility.
The Pluses:
Every square meter is optimally used – the essence of economic efficiency.
Easy adjustment to operational requirements.
More than one person at a time can operate the lift and process jobs.
Improvement in storage management.
Greater flexibility with step-by-step expansion.
Clearly definable and manageable investment.
Each Hänel Lean-Lift® can be used as a stand-alone system. The store is gradually expanded by adding further Lean-Lifts® as needs grow. The Lean-Lifts® can even be combined to span several floors
Hänel Lean-Lift® VLM – benefits that speak for themselves
Up to 85 % space saving in relation to the footprint
The Hänel Lean-Lift® uses the available room height – in a similar way to a high-bay warehouse or miniload system. Unlike these, however, it stores parts in heightoptimized positions so that no space is lost. This produces maximum storage capacity on a minimal footprint. This in turn saves costs and helps to utilize the area dedicated to storage more economically.
Ergonomic and safe
The ergonomic design minimizes the physical strain for employees at work. Hänel goes far beyond the requirements of today’s safety standards.
Efficiency
Countless companies throughout the world use the Hänel Lean-Lift® to increase the cost-effectiveness of their warehousing and materials handling. Hänel also offers customized special features to get even more efficiency out of the Hänel Lean-Lift®. One highlight is the Hänel EcoDrive® – efficient energy recovery with the Hänel Lean-Lift®.
Work time slashed
The Hänel Lean-Lift® brings the requested item automatically to the access area in seconds, where it can be retrieved at the optimum ergonomic height. Goods to man is the motto instead of man to goods. Access times are radically reduced and order-picking performance substantially improved.
Optimal parts management
The state-of-the-art Hänel microprocessor controllers can be used as stand-alone inventory management systems or communicate with customers’ own data pro- cessing systems. An up-to-date overview of inventory is ensured at all times.
We are committed to environmental protection
It goes without saying that production at our three plants meets the latest environmental guidelines. Only environmentally friendly, recyclable materials are used. But it’s not only the production that lives up to Hänel’s ecological principles – even the Hänel Lean-Lift® itself does so. Moreover, the Hänel EcoDrive® makes a contribution toward reducing CO2 emissions.
With the intelligent energy management feature Hänel EcoMode®, the Hänel storage systems can be switched to different standby modes. This allows energy consumption to be reduced to a minimum.
