The brands we know

Intralogix works independently of the original manufacturer. We carry out maintenance, retrofits and new control systems on stacker cranes, shuttle systems and roller conveyor systems from a wide range of manufacturers.

We can do that because our engineers come from crane building. They know these machines not from a manual but from the shop floor: how they are put together, what wears out, and what goes wrong when an installation approaches the end of its technical life.

What ageing installations have in common

Whatever the make, an installation of fifteen to thirty years old almost always comes down to the same thing:

  • the steel structure is still in excellent condition;
  • the control system is no longer supported;
  • components are hard to source or no longer available, so one faulty part can mean days of downtime;
  • diagnostics give you nothing useful when the installation stops;
  • remote support is not possible, so every fault means an engineer on site.

At that point a retrofit costs less than carrying on repairing.

Brands we have worked on

Lalesse

Lalesse is the make we have the most experience with. Our engineers have worked on these systems and know them from the structure through to the control system, including installations where cranes change aisle and the mechanics, electrics and controls have to work closely together.

Straight-running or changing aisle: we work on both types. What is possible and sensible in your case depends on the installation; we discuss that with you beforehand, not afterwards.

Dematic

We have also worked on Dematic installations ourselves. Dematic systems are often found in large, heavily used warehouses, where the downtime a modernisation calls for weighs more heavily than the cost. We therefore plan such projects around your production and, where needed, carry them out in stages, crane by crane.

MIAS

We commissioned three new MIAS cranes: MIAS supplied the cranes, we supplied the control system, programmed it and commissioned the installation.

That a manufacturer places the control side with us says more about our work than anything we could write about it ourselves.

Brands our engineers know

On these makes, the experience lies with our engineers. They have worked with these systems, just not on an Intralogix project.

The technology in a stacker crane differs less between makes than between years of construction. But you should know what you are buying: on these makes you are relying on our engineers’ experience and not on a list of completed projects.

  • Swisslog
  • Dambach
  • LTW
  • TGW

If your installation is one of these, do give us a call. We will come and have a look. If it is not work for us, we will say so.

Your make not listed?

That need not be a problem. A stacker crane of any make consists of a steel structure, drives, a hoist, safety technology and a control system. We work on all of those parts every day.

Call us and tell us what you have.

What manufacturer-independent means for you

We work on machines from a range of manufacturers without being tied to any one make. So our advice is based on what works out best for you, not on what needs to be sold.

Photographs of completed projects are in the gallery.

What installation do you have?

Which make, which year of construction, and what is going wrong? With those three things we can usually tell you quite a lot already.
