OHRA reveals automated and mobile racking systems to boost timber industry efficiency at LIGNA

OHRA

OHRA Regalanlagen, a leading specialist in heavy-duty racking systems, will present its latest innovations in automated and mobile storage solutions designed specifically for the timber and panel industry at the upcoming LIGNA. These advanced racking systems are engineered to maximize space utilization and improve warehouse efficiency, making them ideal for bulky materials such as timber, chipboards, and sheet goods.

OHRA’s cutting-edge storage technology has already proven its value in major projects with industry leaders like Drevo Trust and Karl Pichler. At Drevo Trust’s central warehouse in the Czech Republic, fully automated cantilever racks manage over 3,400 wood panel packages weighing up to 2 tons each. Featuring sophisticated order-picking technology with vacuum grippers, the system enhances accuracy, minimizes handling errors, and optimizes storage density — setting a new standard in automated timber storage.

Meanwhile, Karl Pichler, a prominent wood wholesaler based in South Tyrol, upgraded its facilities with OHRA’s mobile cantilever racking system. This space-saving solution accommodates up to 130 truckloads of timber within a compact footprint, providing swift and gentle product access. Thanks to its high load capacity and modular design, Karl Pichler has been able to broaden its product offerings without compromising operational efficiency.

OHRA’s portfolio combines mobile and automated racking technologies to eliminate wasted space and boost productivity. These systems are well-suited for both high-turnover and low-access inventory, helping timber businesses reduce costs and enhance throughput. Their cantilever racks are available with powder-coated finishes for indoor use or galvanized coatings for weather resistance outdoors, ensuring versatility and durability in various storage environments.

Visitors can explore these innovative solutions firsthand at OHRA’s booth FG-M65 during LIGNA 2025, running from May 26 to 30. With over four decades of experience, OHRA continues to be a trusted partner in delivering scalable, efficient, and sustainable storage systems tailored to the evolving needs of the woodworking industry.
