Ingenious lifting technology for best use of space

Lifting systems for automated storage on racks

In efficient warehouses, space is the most valuable commodity. With lifting systems, racking can be extended upwards, thus maximising the available storage space. This means that more goods can be stored on the same surface area. Increase the efficiency of your storage capacity and reduce the cost of additional space. With Festo, you can sustainably automate your lifting technology in intralogistics, and always tailored to your individual needs.

FAQs

What is meant by “lifting” in intralogistics?

Lifting in intralogistics is about lifting and moving goods and materials, often in automated warehouse systems. Lifting systems optimise the use of space by extending the height at which products can be stored and thus maximise the available space. They even move heavy loads safely and gently, reduce the need for manual lifting tasks and therefore increase efficiency and ergonomics.

What technologies are used in modern lifting systems?

Modern lifting systems combine electric, pneumatic and digital control technologies. As a result, they can be precisely and reliably controlled and are easy to integrate into higher-level automation systems, creating a seamless flow of materials.

Are lifting technology systems flexible to customise?

Yes, lifting technology systems are extremely flexible and can be adapted to different heights, loads and specific requirements. This makes them ideal for applications in a wide range of warehouse and logistics environments, from order picking to stacking shelves.

In which sectors are lifting systems particularly in demand?

Lifting systems are widely used in warehousing and logistics environments, as well as in industry and retail. These industries benefit from the efficiency and flexibility offered by lifting systems to store and move large quantities of products safely while also saving space.
