Vehicle storage made simple
Storing large volumes of vehicles can be a major headaches for towing companies, local authorities and public service providers - especially when available space is limited. But we can make life easier by supplying car-friendly cantilever racking storage.
Car dismantlers are legally bound by European guidelines for the recycling and conditioning of old vehicles and spare parts, and must ensure environmentally friendly storage. OHRA racking solutions can help ensure you don't end up paying a fine (or risk losing your licence) for breaking vehicle storage regulations.
Triple the size of your vehicle storage area
Conventional vehicle storage:
This sketch shows a conventional end-of-life car warehouse with an 18 vehicle capacity. The floorbase amounts to 146sqm. There'no direct access to the vehicles, and you have to move all the cars to get the one you want.
Cantilever racking system:
The second sketch shows the space achieved with robust a robust cantilever system. The same 18 vehicles require a floorbase of just 48sqm. Each vehicle is directly accessible, you don't have to batch the same makes of cars together and you can put any car anywhere in the racks.
Cantilever racking
Our cantilever racking for vehicles and spare parts has been designed and developed for car recyclers and towing companies. By stacking several vehicles safely, it reduces the amount of storage space needed, helping to dramatically increase your overall vehicle storage capcity.
Sturdy hot-rolled steel ensures the safety of all load-bearing elements, and the high quality of OHRA's cantilever columns and arms gives you a long-lasting, cost-effective storage solution. It stores vehicles safely, gives you direct access to each vehicle, and also makes your recycling process more efficient.
- Columns and cantilever arms made of solid, hot-rolled IPE steel for bearing heavy loads
- Slot-in, height-adjustable cantilever arms for different types of vehicles
- High quality powder coat surface finish
- Weather protected hot-dip galvanised steel finish for external storage areas
Pallet racking
Our pallet racks are ideal for storing wheels, tyres and rims, along with spare parts, small items and even for storing large components such as engines and gears. All OHRA pallet racks are made with hot-rolled steel profiles instead of thin sheet metal, given them superior load-bearing capacity. Therfore they prove to be efficient and safe, particularly at high loads. It's the most economical and durable storage solution for your vehicle business.
Automobile recycler customer references
Recup Auto
The vehicle recycling company Récup Auto has more than doubled its storage capacity with 30 individual cantilever racks from OHRA. The racks are over five metres high and allow four vehicles to be stored safely on top of each other. In addition, each car can be accessed specifically without having to be relocated - this reduces damage and increases safety for employees. Whereas there was previously space for 96 cars in the floor storage area, 240 vehicles can now be stored in the cantilever racks in the same space.
Rubio Careco
The French car recycler Rubio Caréco has increased its storage capacities for end-of-life vehicles fivefold on the existing area with a new racking system from OHRA. 108 newly installed double-sided cantilever racks offer a load capacity of up to 2,200 kilograms per storage level per side. With a racking height of 7,600 millimetres, five storage levels were achieved. Thus, instead of 216 cars, 1080 can now be stored in the same space - and much more safely and efficiently than in the old floor storage.
Legalny Autozlom
Instead of simply stacking them on the floor, the car recycler Legalny Autozłom now stores end-of-life vehicles in robust cantilever racks from OHRA: The European market leader for cantilever racking offers robust cantilever racking for vehicles and vehicle parts especially for recycling companies and towing services.
