DAMBACH Lagersysteme: Load-handling devices for automated warehouses

DAMBACH develops and manufactures load handling devices for storage and retrieval machines (SIR-machines) and material handling systems—Made in Germany. The load handling device serves as the link between the storage and retrieval machine and the load carrier. We offer the optimal solution for pallets, mesh boxes, cartons, trays, or special load carriers such as rolls and panels. High reliability, short transfer times, and suitability for use in deep-freeze environments down to –30 °C.

DAMBACH load-handling equipment for automated pallet storage

DAMBACH telescopic forks for single-depth storage of pallets, mesh boxes, and special load carriers are synonymous with high operational reliability and long-lasting quality. Flexible mounting plates allow for use in a wide variety of storage and conveyor systems. High positioning accuracy and secure load transfer make these telescopic forks particularly suitable for warehouses with high pallet throughput.

Technical Data

Payload up to 1,500 kg
Temperature range from –30 °C to +40 °C
Speed up to 120 m/min
Acceleration up to 5 m/s²

DAMBACH load-handling equipment with extendable forks for pallets

DAMBACH telescopic forks for double-depth storage of pallets, mesh boxes, and special load carriers offer high flexibility and precise load transfer. Single- or dual-drive versions enable control sequences tailored to specific requirements and minimal approach dimensions. Lightweight constructions made of high-strength aluminum reduce energy consumption and mast vibrations.
Also suitable for deep-freeze warehouses down to –30 °C.

Short turnaround times for maximum throughput.

Precise dimensional accuracy even under heavy loads and over long travel distances.

Steel-aluminum structures reduce energy consumption and transfer times.

Low construction heights for optimal use of space in high-rack and small-parts warehouses.

Modular system with standardized interfaces for easy maintenance.

All load handling devices are designed for use at temperatures as low as –30 °C.

Single-, double-, and triple-depth for pallet storage. Ultra-narrow tines with high bending and torsional stiffness for pallets with large dimensional tolerances.

Telescopic forks can be combined with an eccentric lift, chain conveyor, tilt mechanism, and fork adjustment. Can be configured for virtually any load carrier.

For loading and unloading closed pallets. With an optional tilting mechanism for ground-level transfer.

For variable carton sizes and multi-deep storage up to four deep. Robust, lightweight design for maximum performance.

With or without belt conveyors for small-parts containers such as cardboard boxes and crates. Proven in automated small-parts warehouses.

For storing panels and lumber. Automatic shutdown of unused suction cells ensures maximum system pressure.
