Automated warehouse racking for Germany
LIFA coordinated racking manufacture, alignment and load testing for two German warehouses, completing installation without rework.
- The buyer
- A Hamburg, Germany logistics group building two automated warehouses.
- The product scope
- Warehouse racking and pallet systems; 38,000 pallet positions. Program value $2.7M.
What needed to change?
Automated systems require racking tolerances measured in millimeters; a prior supplier's racking bowed under load and failed inspection.
How LIFA managed the work
We qualified 2 racking manufacturers with load-test certificates.
We verified beam and upright tolerances against the automation spec.
We managed staged installation with laser-measured alignment.
We coordinated load testing with the automation vendor.
Both warehouses racked to tolerance; zero rework; automation commissioning on schedule; the group signed a $3.2M expansion.

What this project shows
Racking tolerances had to match the automation specification. Manufacturer test evidence and installation measurements informed the same acceptance decision.
