Logistics Systems Steelworks
Over the years, the global demand for efficient logistics systems and infrastructure has skyrocketed. This has been driven by the exponential growth in commercial, personal, and business transportation of goods and services worldwide. To accommodate these increasing demands, logistics hubs, distribution centers, and facilities have become essential, especially across Germany and Western Europe.
POLARKON GmbH has positioned itself as a key partner for multinational logistics companies in the region. With expertise in steel structure design, engineering, and installation, POLARKON provides custom solutions tailored to the complexities of modern logistics. From main steel platforms to handrails and steel gates, POLARKON ensures every component meets strict safety and performance standards.
With the help of its years of experience, know-hows and amenities, POLARKON has been one of the leading partners of multinational logistics companies in Germany in terms of supply, design, engineering and installation of various steel products.
Such products include main steel platforms, steel floorings, steel stairs, steel cages, steel ladders, steel handrails.
Main function of all the “Logistics Systems Steelworks” is to provide either supporting system for automated material handling system unit or accessibility for maintenance and operation. Structural design is carried out under the coordination with BIM model in order to prevent possible clashes due to complex geometry of the automated system, where all the remaining systems are designed during detailed design phase.
Main Offerings by POLARKON GmbH
Main Steel Platforms
The backbone of any logistics system, main steel platforms are designed to directly support automated handling systems and accommodate dynamic load capacities. With advanced BIM modeling, POLARKON ensures seamless integration of these platforms within complex systems.
Key highlights:
- Precision-engineered for deflection control and vibration resistance.
- Optimized to handle horizontal loads, dead loads, and live loads.
Steel Floorings
Steel floorings form a critical part of logistics platforms and can be customized with various materials like:
- Chequered plates, gratings, and metal planks.
- Designed according to ISO 14122 standards to prevent slipping and ensure durability.
- Engineered to support a minimum of 2.00 kN/m² distributed load capacity or 3.50 kN point loads.
Steel Stairs
Providing safe and efficient access to elevated platforms, steel stairs are designed per ISO 14122 specifications.
Features include:
- Customized dimensions for rise (h), going (g), and overlap (r).
- Robust treads for durability and stability
Steel Cages & Ladders
POLARKON’s ladders and cage systems are ideal for infrequent access points or elevated areas.
These solutions include:
- Step ladders for heights under 3m.
- Cage ladders with integrated fall protection for heights above 3m.
- Rung-based designs for enhanced safety and compliance.
Steel Handrails
Essential for fall protection, handrails are meticulously fabricated to meet ISO 14122 standards. They are installed on platform edges with a minimum height of 1100 mm, ensuring operational safety.
Steel Gates
POLARKON offers self-closing gates with safety nosing for floor edges. These are vital for access control and integrate seamlessly with other steel structures.
