BUILT FOR PRODUCTION OPERATIONS

Make Long Goods Flow, Without Slowing Production

The Long Span Tower brings long bars, tubes and profiles into a structured, safe and semi-automated production logistics process. Manufacturing environments are under pressure from space constraints, labour shortages and rising costs.

Material Flow Direct, controlled supply to production

Space Efficiency Vertical storage frees valuable production space

Automation Ready Scalable from manual to integrated processes

Production Logistics

Automated Long Goods Storage for Industrial Production

Manufacturing environments are under pressure from limited space, manual processes and rising operational costs. Long goods such as bars, tubes and profiles are often stored inefficiently and handled manually, which slows down production and increases risk. The LS Tower introduces a structured, vertical storage approach that improves access, reduces handling effort and supports stable material supply to production.

More space

Free floor area for production and staging

Stable flow

Reduce search and handling time

Higher safety

Controlled access and handling

Lower effort

Fewer manual steps and forklift movements

Measurable improvements in production logistics

The LS Tower is a vertical storage system for long and heavy materials such as bars, tubes and profiles. It is designed for industrial environments where space, safety and reliable supply to production are critical. It enables controlled handling and supports the transition to semi-automated processes.

Long Span Tower USP

The LS Tower delivers high‑density vertical storage for long and heavy materials, combining a robust steel structure with precise, smooth elevator movement for fast and reliable access. Its integrated safety systems ensure secure operation at all times, while the ergonomic operator area simplifies handling with forklifts or cranes. With flexible tower configurations, multiple container types and optional software integration, the LS Tower provides a compact, safe and efficient storage solution that adapts perfectly to demanding industrial workflows.

Functionality

How the LS Tower works

Automated retrieval and controlled handling of long goods

Vertical storage principle

Materials are stored in containers arranged in a vertical tower structure, optimising the use of available height

Lift-based retrieval

An integrated lift moves to the required position, retrieves the container and transports it to the operator area.

Goods-to-person handling

Material is delivered to a fixed access point, reducing movement, search time and manual handling.

Return and storage

After handling, the system automatically returns the container to its storage position.

Core components

Engineered elements for reliable storage and handling

Lift system

Vertical movement of containers within the tower for fast and controlled retrieval

Container system

Storage carriers designed for long materials such as bars, tubes and profiles

Operator interface

CUSTOMER STORY

Long Goods Project Spotlight

Hear what our customers have to say about us

Fully enclosed LS Tower installation with integrated crane system for loading and unloading heavy cylindrical materials in a production environment

Improving space and material flow in production

Customised solution for heavy long goods storage in industrial production

A manufacturing company in the industrial materials sector required a solution to store and handle heavy cylindrical materials with high weight and specific handling requirements.

The LS Tower was configured with 33 containers specifically designed for storing rolls, ensuring safe and structured storage. Each container supports up to 4,000 kg, with a total system capacity of 132 tonnes. The system was engineered as a fully customised solution, adapted to the material characteristics, handling process and available installation space.

A key requirement was safe and efficient loading and unloading. To support this, the LS Tower was delivered with an integrated 1.5 t crane, enabling controlled handling directly at the transfer point. Unlike standard installations, the entire system was fully enclosed, providing additional protection and controlled operation in the production environment.

The project was completed within a construction and installation time of three weeks, with a Siemens-based control system ensuring reliable and intuitive operation.
