Order picking at BERG

In the BERG warehouse, items are stored in racking on several levels. The picking locations are at the bottom of the racking, at ground level. That's where the pallets stand from which staff collect the ordered cartons. They work from the warehouse floor and drive a pallet truck through the aisles, past these locations.

For BERG, it's important to use the available warehouse space as efficiently as possible. That's why the RackJib lift assists are mounted directly on the racking. They don't take up a place of their own on the floor. This leaves more room for racking to store items, while the picking locations underneath that same racking get lifting support.

At a picking location, the operator picks up the ordered carton with the RackJib 110's gripper. The lift assist takes the weight. The operator guides the carton to the pallet on their pallet truck and sets it down, then pulls the lift assist along to the next picking location within the working area. This way, staff pick even heavy trampoline cartons ergonomically, without lifting the weight themselves.

From 12 to 30 lift assists

The first installation at BERG consisted of 12 RackJib lift assists. Over the years, this has grown to 30. This means BERG can pick every heavy item in its range with the help of a lift assist, while keeping the space for storage.
