Why Hänel? Because We’re in the Business of Making Your Business Better
This large independent distributor of materials like wood, plastic, and glass was processing a whopping 100 orders per hour during peak periods. But with the Hänel Lean-Lift storage system in place, their staffing needs were cut in half – resulting in an impressive annual savings of over $150,000!
The inventory cross-checking feature was an added bonus too. It checks the units’ inventory against the corporate parts management system to make sure everything is accurate all of the time. If there are any discrepancies at the end of each day, they’re flagged for managers via email.
By investing in this smart storage solution, this company saw returns that exceeded their expectations: over $200K saved within its first year and more benefits since then!
The Hanel Lift system helped Porche reduce their storage floor space by 75%. It also helped them to have faster provisioning for their parts and tools.
They need to keep an ample supply of spare parts on hand, which requires considerable space. This is where Hänel systems offer decisive advantages!
The Hänel Lean-Lift® neatly stores large numbers of parts within a small footprint thanks to its vertical design concept. Valuable time is saved When a vehicle is scheduled for service, the shop manager can check the inventory to see if all the items required for service or repairs are in stock. These items can be picked and sorted in advance to save time otherwise spent waiting for parts delivery.
Even large components like engine blocks, transmissions or catalytic converters can be stored in the Lean-Lift®. There is no need to transport such components from so-called ‘external warehouses’ that are not nearby. This considerably increases the throughput of vehicles serviced each day.
Hospitals can enjoy amazing benefits with Hänel storage systems. The Rotomat® is the perfect solution for medical facilities, as it allows them to store more items in less space while keeping everything secure and organized – they don’t even need to worry about expiry dates anymore! As if that wasn’t enough, hospitals get access to cutting-edge safety features such as locking mechanisms and access codes so sensitive materials are always kept safe.
On top of all that, this system makes life easier for everyone involved: it increases storage capacity without sacrificing precious space and can even be used by persons with disabilities. No wonder why so many hospitals have gone all-in on the Rotomat®; they love savoring its witty convenience!

The Hänel Lean-Lift® is an automated vertical lift module (VLM) designed to maximize storage capacity by using the available height of a facility. Instead of employees walking through aisles or climbing ladders to retrieve inventory, the system automatically delivers the requested container to an ergonomic access point. This “goods-to-person” approach can reduce retrieval time, improve organization, and make better use of valuable floor space.
The Hänel Rotomat® is an automated vertical carousel based on a rotating carrier system. Stored items move vertically inside the enclosed unit, and the system automatically brings the requested carrier to the access opening. Its compact design makes it especially useful for storing parts, tools, supplies, components, and other inventory where fast, organized access is important.
Both systems take advantage of unused vertical space, but they operate differently. The Lean-Lift® uses an elevator-style extractor to retrieve individual storage containers and can optimize container locations according to item height. The Rotomat® uses vertically rotating carriers, similar to a Ferris wheel, to bring stored items to the operator. The best option depends on your inventory, available space, workflow, load requirements, and retrieval frequency.
The amount of space saved depends on the facility and existing storage method. Hänel states that the Lean-Lift® can achieve up to 85% space savings in relation to the footprint by using available building height and storing containers in height-optimized positions. Spacesaver Storage Solutions can evaluate your current storage footprint to determine the potential capacity and space savings for your facility.
Instead of sending employees to search through shelving or racks, the Lean-Lift® brings the requested inventory directly to the access area. This can significantly reduce walking, searching, bending, and climbing while improving order-picking speed. The system can also integrate with inventory-management processes to help operators quickly identify and retrieve the correct items.
Yes. Both Lean-Lift® and Rotomat® systems are designed around the goods-to-person concept. Inventory is delivered to an accessible retrieval point, reducing the need for employees to repeatedly walk long distances, climb ladders, bend, or reach for items stored on conventional shelving.
Hänel systems can accommodate a wide variety of inventory, including small parts, tools, replacement components, supplies, electronics, medical products, dies, and larger industrial components. Containers, carriers, shelves, drawers, storage boxes, and other configurations can be selected according to the application. Rotomat® systems can also be configured for heavy or bulky items and specialized applications such as ESD-sensitive components.
These automated storage systems are well suited for manufacturing, automotive operations, aerospace, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, electronics, warehouses, distribution operations, parts departments, and other environments that need to store substantial inventory in a limited footprint. Spacesaver Storage Solutions offers Hänel systems for a range of commercial and industrial applications.
