Beeckerwerth central warehouse
The Beeckerwerth central warehouse is a 20,000 square meter hall with a storage capacity of around 85,000 metric tons. The air conditioning means that moisture sensitive materials and goods can also be stored there without any problems before being moved further. Currently, these are mainly steel products.
Transport goods are brought in and out by rail – two tracks are available – and by truck. Loading operations are carried out with the help of two overhead cranes. A modern warehouse management system is used to manage the coils.
