  • The principle

      • The automated ‘high-bay warehouse in a cabinet’
        The Hänel Lean-Lift® is both storage rationalization and goods protection in one: At the center of this closed system is a computer-controlled 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 engineer­ing 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, dispatch, production or tool store, to name but a few sectors that demonstrate its versatility.

    • Less warehouse is more

    • The Hänel Lean-Lift® offers over 60 % more storage capacity than a miniload system/rack store on the same footprint
      One glance in the Hänel Lean-Lift® shows the advantages clearly: Optimum storage of highly varied parts without any loss of space! Key points speak in favor of the Hänel Lean-Lift®:

      Distinct advantages over conventional rack storage and MLS
      • Storage capacity can be adapted step by step.
      • More than one person at a time can operate the lift and process jobs.
      • Retrieval times are considerably shorter.
      • Units can be added, expanded or separated at a later time.
      • Better utilization of storage volume thanks to height-optimized storage.
      • Decentralized storage right in the production hall.

  • The access point

  • It protects the user and it weighs, measures, photographs and identifies the storage items. The smooth-action rollers make storage and retrieval operations a breeze. Shelf retrieval and put-away can also be performed automatically.The interior lighting makes sure you can 'keep an eye on things'. A compartment sublevel indicator or the Pick-o-Light® system guarantee error-free retrieval. Hänel offers individual equipment variants for every need.

    All these are ideas the Hänel specialists have developed over their many years of experience – and from which you benefit.
    The Hänel light curtain guarantees maximum safety for the operators as they pick and put.

    Optimum storage assignment based on precise height measurement of goods
    Accurate height measurement for storing containers in the optimal packing density. Height-measuring light barriers spaced at 25 mm, 37.5 mm, 75 mm, 90 mm or 125 mm.
    When the container is drawn in, the highly accurate light barriers measure the articles, and the Hänel microprocessor control system finds the optimum storage location in the Hänel Lean-Lift®. At the same time a protruding goods check is carried out. With its height sensors, profile wall and Hänel container technology, the Hänel Lean-Lift® provides vertical optimization and height optimization in one!

    Accurate weights recorded with the Hänel weighing device
    The Hänel Lean-Lift® is equipped with a weight management system as standard. As an option, an electronic 4-point weighing system can be used to weigh each container in the access point without any loss of time. The current weight is then shown on the keyboard display.
    The weighing device allows the maximum load of the individual containers and that of the entire lift to be record­ed. The additional payload is determined with the tare function.

  • Secure access

    • The compartment indicator ensures error-free access and quick storage and retrieval

    • The LED display can be positioned above or below the access point as required. The compartment and sub-level indicators ensure the right article is accessed.
      The compartment and sub-level are displayed on the LED strip as either one or two digits.

    • The Hänel Pick-o-Light® system for quickly finding the required articles

    • An LED array is integrated into the panel above the access opening of the lift. A colored LED directs a beam of light onto the requested article so that it is identified unmistakably and unequivocally. This ensures maximum efficiency and reliable selection during order picking.

    • Hänel Pick-o-Light-Vario® for variable container divisions:

    • Alternatively, if container divisions are variable, items can be identified via a free-moving Vario unit with 4 integrated LEDs.

    • Crosshair reticle

    • As an option, the Pick-o-Light-Vario® can be fitted with a crosshair reticle. This is used to clearly identify very small items

    • Integrated camera

    • A camera integrated in the Lean-Lift® takes a photo of the container each time a transaction is carried out.
      A fixed number of pictures is archived per container so that inventory changes on the container can be tracked.
      With the photographic information, an article on a container can be identified directly from the control unit and brought to the access point.

  • Variable and ergonomically

    • The Hänel high-speed door

    • The Hänel high-speed door enables several operators to work simultaneously at a Lean-Lift® with more than one access point. The access areas are blocked off from each other.

      Travel speeds of up to 1 m/s make for quick access. The aluminum profiles are highly robust and have a long lifecycle. A frequency converter ensures optimal flow of movement.

    • The fold-down support rail from Hänel

    • The support rail at the access point can be raised and folded down as required. Storage containers can then be pulled out of the access point on smooth-running plastic rollers.

      This makes work at the Hänel Lean-Lift® even more ergonomic. Heavy parts can also be removed with a crane.

    • The Hänel transporter

    • With the Hänel transporter, complete containers can be taken out of the Lean-Lift®, as they can with the fold-down support rail. This means that even with particularly heavy parts (up to 1,000 kg per container) the container can be transported effortlessly to the required destination.

  • Multifunction containers

  • Different sizes of Hänel multifunction containers
    Hänel offers a variety of contain­er widths and depths. This means the containers can be adapted individually to the stored goods!

    Width: 840/1,300/1,640/1,860/2,060/2,300/2,460/2,860/3,060 or 3,260 mm
    Depth: 635/825/1,047 or 1,270 mm

    And a wide range of accessories are available, such as tool inserts, molded trays for small parts, holders for milling cutters, and other separators, which compliment the Hänel Lean-Lift®, turn­ing it into a complete intralogistics system that saves costs, makes optimum use of space, makes work easier and minimizes distribution times!

      Special solutions have been designed in cooperation with the German association for self-help for the physically handicapped in Krautheim:
      • The ergonomic recess at the retrieval area allows wheelchair users to get close to the carousel, thus enabling easy processing of the files.
      • Each stop position of the carrier set can be defined individually by the Hänel multifunction positioning system.
      • The control panel is placed in the center of the work counter. Rotomats® with no work counter have the control panel in an easy-to-reach keyboard housing.

  • Lockomat®

  • Compartment doors that are closed manually or automatically guarantee error-free retrieval and protect the stored articles from unauthorized access.
    The user proves his authorization by means of an ID card, password or transponder, and the user interface set up for him personally appears on the display. All booking operations can then be traced to a specific user. Multiple users can be set up with different authorizations.


    Article management
    Articles are requested or put into storage by entering an article number or using a barcode scanner. The digital LED display on the work surface indicates the compartment door behind which the article is stored. All pick and put operations are logged, which makes later verification and tracking easy. Similar-looking articles can’t be confused.

    Inventory control
    Continuous inventory control means that shortages in the supply of materials can be avoided. The intelligent microprocessor control system can be easily integrated into the customer's own IT system. This ensures you have an overview of the stock situation at all times.

    Protection of inventory
    The closed storage system protects your stock from unauthorized access.


    Space and time savings
    Optimum use of floor space. There are no upper limits to the Lockomat®. Systems can even span multiple floors.

    The Lockomat® is designed according to the tried-and-tested vertical carousel principle. That means:
    Goods to man is the motto instead of man to goods. Access times are slashed.

  • The principle

  • Chemical industry, banks, pharmaceutical industry . . .
    when items that look identical on the outside but are very different on the inside need to be stored and retrieved quickly and without mistakes

      • The Hanel Lockomat® is highly versatile

      • The principle is simple.Its applications are brilliant!
        Each Hänel Lockomat® is designed according to the tried-and-tested Ferris wheel principle (vertical carousel system) which means the goods are brought to the operator, not the other way around.

        The compact design means that up to 60 % more storage capacity can be created on a minimal footprint by using the available room height.

  • Energy efficiency

  • Energy-efficient systems are the key to lowering energy consumption in your warehouse.
    The effective energy consumption of automated material and file handling systems has a major impact on operating costs, amortization and not least on environmental protection.

    For this reason we have always placed great emphasis on continually optimizing the energy efficiency of our storage systems. This brings our customers many benefits, both from an economic and an ecological perspective!

    Optimizing the energy balance with intelligent concepts
    The goal of continually optimizing the energy balance of the Hänel storage systems is a challenge we embrace every day. Under the heading Hänel EcoConcept we constantly develop components that contribute to improving energy efficiency.
    • The built-in frequency converter converts the kinetic energy of the descending extractor into electrical energy and feeds it back into the electrical supply system. This enables up to 40% of the required energy to be recovered depending on the rate of travel.
    • Continuous monitoring of the load situation in the Rotomat® and adherence to the storage recommendations ensures that an even load distribution is achieved. This means only minimal energy is needed to start the storage carousel rotating.
    • All systems that consume energy even when in standby mode are closed down by the control system in 4 EcoMode® levels (energy-saving levels). This reduces the energy intake of the Hänel storage systems to a minimum when they are not being used.
