Partitioning Material – Efficient Shelf Equipment for Your Storage Lift

Is your storage lift overcrowded or disorganized? Then a well-thought-out shelf partitioning is crucial to use valuable space and optimize your processes. Storing materials and tools unsystematically in the vertical lift increases access times and risks wear and tear and loss. With the partitioning material from Apfel, you bring order and structure to your storage lift. Customizable metal boxes and storage trays, as well as ingenious tool holders and other solutions, ensure that tools and storage goods remain protected and are quickly accessible. At the same time, the capacity of your storage lift is optimally utilized, creating additional storage space and efficiently exploiting existing space.

The Key Advantages at a Glance

When the Production Space Becomes a Bottleneck

Shelves Fill Quickly

The acquisition of the expensive storage lift barely pays off because the shelves are loaded chaotically and absolutely inefficiently.

Fire Load

Insurance would not cover the damage occurred in case of fire because cardboard boxes and unsuitable plastic boxes are stored.

Tool Loss

Especially the expensive cutting tools have a particularly high wear because they are not stored properly.

High Search Times

Materials are stored unsystematically, so employees often stand endlessly in front of the storage lift trying to gather all necessary work equipment from various shelves.

Removable Slotted Trays as a Highlight of Modern Shelf Equipment

Apfel’s partitioning material creates structure where previously disorder and long search times dominated everyday life. By clearly divided shelves and robust metal solutions tailored to your individual desired dimensions, your storage tower is used much more efficiently.

Apfel manufactures not only metal storage boxes in Dossenheim but also slotted trays and frames, as well as tool carriers for sheet metal processing and machining.

For maximum efficiency in logistics & production processes, the removable slotted trays are essential. Thanks to tool-free adjustable partitions at 10 mm intervals, the trays can be precisely tailored to your items, product families, or assembly processes.

The crucial advantage: In the trays, items can be pre-commissioned and removed as a pre-assembled unit for the respective work process. Entire work orders or assembly kits can be efficiently prepared and removed with a single grip.

The fully enclosed metal construction ensures high stability, safe handling, and simultaneously meets important fire safety requirements. Different widths enable optimal adaptation to your storage goods or existing shelves and transport trolleys. Whether as a flexible partition in the storage lift or as a mobile provisioning system at workstations – the slotted trays combine order, safety, and efficiency.

Overview of Apfel Partitioning Material

Thanks to our own design and production in Dossenheim near Heidelberg, height, width, and depth as well as the material can be individually configured.

Tool Carrier for Sheet Metal Processing

  • For tool-protective and practical
    storage of tools from manufacturers Trumpf,
    Amada, Salvagnini, Wilson Tool, etc.
  • Bending: For upper and lower tools of all
    tool types. In the LTK 1280, where the shelf size corresponds to that of a Euro pallet, for example, 15 linear meters of lower tools can be stored per shelf
  • Punching: For punches, dies, retainer rings, and strippers as well as empty and loaded setup cassettes. In the LTK 1280, where the shelf size corresponds to that of a Euro pallet, for example, 32 setup cassettes can be stored per shelf

Tool Holders for Machining

  • For tool-protective and practical storage of milling and powered turning tools as well as collets and special tools
  • In the LTK 1280, where the shelf size corresponds to that of a Euro pallet, for example, 100 milling tools can be stored per shelf
  • Colored plastic hooks allow the reduction of the two reception diameters to over 20 tool types
  • Pre-assembled hook combinations for optimized storage of Capto, SK, HSK, ABS, VDI, and much more
  • Optionally available plug-on numbers allow quick and clear tool identification

Plug-In Slotted Frames

  • For flexible partitioning of shelves, capable of being reconfigured in seconds without tools
  • Adaptable to your shelf dimensions (Standard heights: 50, 75, 100, 125, and 150 mm)
  • Tool-free clip connection with a conical 10 mm slot grid for variable longitudinal and cross partitioning
  • Extra-wide baseboard and reinforced corner connections for more stability
  • Folded material edges for maximum safety
  • Various partition plate designs to accommodate magnetic labels if needed

Closed Slot Grid Tray

  • The removable trays are ideal for pre-commissioning orders and assembly kits
  • The closed containers allow high payloads due to high rigidity
  • Tool-free adjustable cross partitions in a 10 mm slot grid
  • Adaptable to your shelf dimensions (Standard heights: 50, 75, 100, 125, and 150 mm)
  • Folded material edges for maximum safety
  • Various partition plate designs for the ability to attach magnetic labels if needed
  • Available in galvanized sheet steel, aluminum or stainless steel

Metal Storage Boxes

  • The metal storage boxes optimize use of the shelf area due to their minimal wall thickness and reduce fire load to a minimum
  • Tool-free adjustable cross partitions in a 10 mm slot grid
  • Adaptable to your shelf dimensions (Standard heights: 50, 75, 100, 125, and 150 mm)
  • Folded material edges for maximum safety
  • Available in galvanized sheet steel, aluminum or stainless steel with or without riveted connections

Plastic Storage Boxes

  • Four sizes in Euro standard format, each combinable in width and length
  • Made of impact-resistant and food-grade polypropylene for extreme loads (e.g., 650 kg superimposed load for KEK 4030)
  • Stackable and ideal for lift shelves
  • In the LTK 1280, where the shelf size corresponds to that of a Euro pallet, for example, 60 storage boxes KEK 1510 can be stored
