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

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.
Besteiro
At Maderas Besteiro, OHRA cantilever racking enables the efficient storage of timbers with a length of up to 13.5 metres; individually adapted pallet racking with up to 15 storage levels also offers plenty of space for the large variety of High Pressure Laminates (HPL). Compared to the original floor storage and outdated racking, Maderas Besteiro was able to increase its storage capacity by 20 per cent in the same storage space, speed up storage and retrieval processes by 30 per cent and reduce damage to stored goods by 70 per cent.
Dach Walter
According to the experience of Dach Walter, a leading medium-sized roofing specialist retailer in Thuringia, the requirements for building material storage are constantly increasing. The product range is constantly growing and requires a variety of racking solutions. Customers expect more and more building materials to be stored protected from the weather. An economical storage solution also means that the racking is durable, stable and can be customised to materials and existing building structures. Dach Walter has therefore been continuously investing in storage solutions from OHRA for 15 years. This includes cantilever and pallet racking - also with a roof for outdoor installation - as well as complete rack supported buildings.
Borovi
The Hungarian timber trading company Borovi Impex Nagyker has more than doubled its storage capacity with cantilever racking from OHRA. Five 24 metre long cantilever racks with seven storage levels allow easier access to individual items compared to the previous floor storage system. Equipped with a roof and wall construction, the racks also protect the goods from the weather. With the new racks, the company can supply its customers 30 per cent faster and damage to stock has been reduced by 40 per cent.
