boeckelt tower overall concept exchange tower

The combined slide and cassette storage system allows for a quick change of material and an optimised production process.
The exchange tower BÖCKELT TOWER allows for seamless access to several types of materials without the need for a forklift.
The basic version of the exchange tower is based on a slide system composed of at least 5 levels and offering additional storage thanks to a top-loading option.
The front booms can be pivoted and locked into place using solid machine feet.
This movement brings a rail mount system into position which, in conjunction with flanged wheels with double bearing, allows the user to easily move the drawers, which can be loaded with up to 3 tons of material.
When pulled forward, the material becomes exposed and accessible for extraction by vacuum suction cup or crane.
You can use a forklift to load and unload the drawers of the exchange tower on both sides.
The option to load the tower from both sides provides for greater flexibility in tight spaces notwithstanding the layout of the production facility.
It is possible to place both Böckelt Tower system cassettes and individual metal sheets, wooden pallets or factory packages onto the sturdy drawers.
To expand the exchange tower, you can upgrade it with a BÖCKELT TOWER cassette storage system and utilise the entire height of the room.
Whether used as a stand-alone solution or as a meaningful addition to a larger BÖCKELT TOWER cassette storage system, the exchange tower offers you the additional storage space you need. It allows you to store material close to the machine and exchange it quickly with the help of the drawers.
You can choose either side of the cassette storage system as the operator side. You can access the cassettes with your forklift either from the front or the rear depending on which type of access allows for a more efficient workflow.
Another option is to equip the cassette storage system with the Böckelt transponder system which reports the position of the cassette automatically to the administrative software.
As the entire exchange tower system is fully compatible with the BÖCKELT TOWER software application, the software will deliver constantly updated overviews of your stock.
The cassette storage design guarantees superior stability. This level of stability makes it possible to attach a slewing crane including vacuum suction cup to this extension.
The slewing crane offers a swivel range of 270° and can be extended by up to 6 metres. Installation is possible on all 4 corners of the tower.
The option of combining an exchange tower, a cassette storage system and a slewing crane lets you supply adjacent processing machines with material directly from the exchange tower.
All of these features add up to constant, seamless access to different materials.
