Three-aisled lightweight warehouse

Agricultural supplier needs logistics hub

The insulated outer walls make the building suitable for order picking.

As a specialist in agricultural supplies, Werny GmbH & Co. KG offers a wide range of products and services, including the development of complete barn equipment for dairy and rearing farms. However, the sale of feed barriers and partitions has become increasingly important, with local pickup and online shipping becoming more prevalent. To ensure availability and maintain fast delivery, the company needed more storage space.

Company owner Friedhelm Werny quickly abandoned his initial plan to build an outdoor racking system. "I would have been very inflexible with a covered racking system," he says. He had picked up a Herchenbach brochure at a trade fair, and upon reviewing it again, he realized: a lightweight building would allow him to implement a professional warehouse solution quickly and cost-effectively.

Werny opted for the insulated Therm+ hall. Three bays are connected to form one large structure. According to the now-expanded plans, one of the halls will also be used for picking temperature-sensitive goods. When work is carried out in a hall for extended periods, as in this case, higher temperatures must be maintained even in winter than in a simple storage building. The insulating properties of the insulated roof membrane, in combination with the inner membrane, significantly reduce the energy required to heat the hall.

Looking at Herchenbach's price examples, I realized that for that price, a steel building isn't even worth considering. Furthermore, the depreciation allowances for a mobile building are significantly more favorable than for a permanent, solid building.

Lightweight hall of Herchenbach
  • In just two weeks, Herchenbach erected a three-aisled, lightweight hall for the Werny company. Each hall is 20 meters wide. Two halls are 40 meters long, and one is 35 meters long. This resulted in a total of 2,300 square meters of covered space.
  • Since the halls are intended for use not only for storage but also for order picking, insulated wall cladding was integrated into the aluminum profile frame. This allows for more efficient heating of the building.

 

Werny Handel GmbH & Co. KG
  • Werny Handel GmbH & Co. KG is a specialist in agricultural supplies based in Bad Wünnenberg (North Rhine-Westphalia). The company boasts over 50 years of expertise. Sales take place both at the company's own workshop and online.
  • The product range includes spare parts for agricultural machinery, barn equipment, supplies for livestock farming, cleaning technology, and power equipment. The target group primarily consists of farmers, tradespeople, and private individuals.
What impressed us most was the construction time of 14 days for all three halls. The installers had announced it would take that long, but nobody expected them to actually stick to it. And then everything was finished after just two weeks. That was simply fantastic.

Insulation panels

The lightweight halls have a framework of aluminum profiles into which insulated or non-insulated wall cladding is installed. Walls made of insulated panels offer excellent thermal transmittance values ​​and are suitable for halls that need to be heated efficiently.

Multi-bay hall

Herchenbach's lightweight halls are constructed using a modular system. Components from a building block system are combined to create the desired hall size. Multi-bay halls without dividing walls can be easily combined.

Sectional door

Depending on operational processes and safety requirements, various doors and gates can be installed in the lightweight hall. Thanks to their thermal insulation, sectional doors are the ideal complement to our heated halls.

Why Herchenbach's lightweight halls can score points in many areas

Herchenbach stands for more than just optimized products. With our comprehensive, hassle-free package, building a new warehouse is quick and easy.

  • Flexible modular construction: Lightweight warehouses built using a modular system can be planned and erected quickly because structural calculations are already available for numerous warehouse geometries. By combining several individual warehouses into a multi-bay structure and selecting from a range of equipment options, the warehouse can be optimally adapted to the company's requirements. In addition to simple storage facilities, complex logistics projects can also be implemented quickly and easily.
  • Optimal financing options: Herchenbach offers its lightweight warehouses for purchase and for rent. Purchasing a warehouse is particularly advantageous if it is already clear that the warehouse will be needed at the same location for an extended period. Customers then benefit from special depreciation allowances at a favorable price. With rental, the warehouse is only paid for as long as it is needed.
  • Comprehensive customer service: A personal contact person is available at Herchenbach throughout the entire warehouse construction process. Even after handover, customers can still contact our customer service department with any questions regarding the construction of their building. Benefit from our nearly 100 years of experience gained from thousands of lightweight building projects.
