Industry-specific storage systems
For more than 40 years, OHRA characterises the technical development of economical and space-saving racking and storage solutions. OHRA invented and perfected the free movable arm, today a standard feature for carpentries.
Cantilever racking in particular is the ideal storage system for long, heavy and bulky materials in the timber trade. OHRA cantilever racking creates high density storage capacity on a small footprint thanks to the sturdy but slim hot-rolled steel profile construction. Continuous storage levels without interfering intermediate uprights enable various product sizes and assortments to be stored on one level. Flexible boltless height-adjustable cantilever arms protect product and racking from forklift truck impact damage. OHRA cantilever racking is made to order to fit your warehouse and product storage requirements
Cantilever racks
The ideal storage system for long, heavy or bulky composite panels, such as chipboards, sawn timber packages or solid wood. To avoid damage to the racking and more importantly your stock, the cantilever arms are designed so that, on impact, the height-adjustable arms move up and sideways. All cantilever racking is custom manufactured to match the stored goods and will be delivered and assembled on request. The Ohra cantilever racking column, bases and arms are constructed from robust, hot-rolled steel profiles to allow for the safe storage of your goods. The high quality of the columns and arms ensure a durable and thus economical solution for your timber yard. OHRA cantilever racking can be placed inside or outside.
Your benefits:
- Rack columns and cantilevers made of solid, hot-rolled IPE steel profiles
- Rack columns are punched every 100 mm on both sides
- No hidden cavities where rusting can start, as Ohra only use solid profiles
- Can be fitted with roof, rear wall and gutter for external use
- High-quality powder coating
- Hot-dip galvanized design for outdoor storage
Pallet racks
Due to its robust construction OHRA pallet racking is unique compared to conventional pallet racking made out of sheet metal; Ohra racking is capable of offering a much higher loading capacity. The use of hot-rolled steel profiles for supporting components offers an important safety factor in your warehouse, especially in areas where staff or clients are. At the same time, the racking can be more economical because of the larger bay widths, therefore, less components are necessary than with conventional rack systems with a low load capacity.
The safe racking system for heavy loads:
- Standard bay width up to 4,500 mm
- High load-carrying capacity: Rack load up to
- 32,700 kg, beam load up to 5,100 kg as standard
- Hot-dip galvanized design for external storage
- Optionally with roof, wall or as complete rack clad building

Vertical racks
For many goods, such as moulding, profiles, bars or tubes, vertical racking systems are the perfect and customer-friendly type of storage. Different items and sizes can be sorted and presented to be readily accessible in the warehouse or sales room. For upright storage of chipboard panels directly into the cutting area, there is no better alternative than OHRA´s robust chipboard rack. The connector system, which consists of square tubes, is fully developed and durable. For easy entry and exist of the products, high-quality roller conveyors are mounted in front of each rack stack.
Automatic storage system
Storage optimization through the partial and full automation of loading and unloading processes. With high picking capacities, performance increases according to the “goods-to-man” principle. Depending on the requirement, whole packages or single panels can be taken and transported to the transfer station.
- Highest possible handling turnover for picking orders
- From manual to fully automatic control, expandable at any time
- Interfacing to customer ERP software via a module
- Storage and retrieval vehicle to service several lanes using cornering technique
- In doing so, reduction of investment costs, optimal price-performance ratio

Leube
LEUBE Zelte und Hallen, a company specialising in the rental, hire and sale of tents and marquees, have equipped its new materials warehouse with OHRA cantilever racking. To date, the material has been stored in a block storage facility using the chaotic system. On the other hand, the new hall offers much more effective utilisation of the storage space with cantilever racking from OHRA. The order picking process is also much quicker. This is due to the clear storage system with fixed storage locations. Mesh shelves on the cantilever arms enable the flexible storage of a wide variety of items and storage aids.
Städtische Bühnen Frankfurt
The Städtische Bühnen Frankfurt theatre company has replaced the mobile coat racks previously used to store repertoire costumes with a shelving solution from OHRA. It consists of nine pallet racks, each around eight metres long, with clothes rails mounted on their supports, which are 3.9 metres long. Each shelf can be individually adjusted in height independently of the other shelves. With a total height of 2.88 metres, the costumes can now be stored hanging on two levels. This corresponds to a 50 per cent increase in storage capacity in the same storage area.
Derrey
The building materials trading group Derrey has equipped its new subsidiary “Gedibois Derrey” in Metz with OHRA cantilever racks. Thanks to customised special solutions, the racks adapt exactly to the product range and the structural conditions. The solution also includes asymmetrical racks: These are double-sided racks in which the cantilevers on the left and right sides differ in load-bearing capacity and length. Thus, many different types of timber and panels can be stored efficiently and in a space-saving manner. Some of the racks are located in an open hall, so that the first uprights of a row of racks could still be exposed to the weather. For this reason, OHRA has hot-dip galvanised the front uprights of the racks, while the remaining components have been powder-coated at a lower cost.
Farkas-Fa
Rack-clad warehouses are an attractive option for companies that quickly need weather-protected storage capacities. What’s unique about this solution is that the rack installation columns also act as a supporting structure for the roof and sidewalls. This is significantly cheaper than a standard construction with a separate rack system. OHRA allows its customers to reduce costs further by performing work themselves. Hungarian companies Farkas-Fa, a woodworking business, and timber dealer Sarok-Fa did just that. They made and mounted the roof constructions for their OHRA rack-clad warehouses with their own wood. OHRA simply tailored the construction of the racking columns to the respective roof construction.
Marles
The Slovenian manufacturer of prefabricated timber houses Marles has installed around 442 metres of cantilever racking from OHRA in the outdoor area. This enables the company to reliably supply its production with construction timber. Compared to the previous storage on concrete blocks, the company was able to significantly increase its storage capacity. The company premises in the Bacher Mountains posed special challenges: Floor gradients of up to three per cent, large amounts of snow and strong winds had to be taken into account when planning the racking system. Nevertheless, the racks were realised in just three months.
