Hydac
Project
HYDAC International is a world leader in motion control and fluid technology, operating in over 50 countries with over 9,000 employees and 500 sales and service partners worldwide.
Challenge
HYDAC was running out of space and needed more storage room and assembly production area. They couldn’t move and needed to do something. HYDAC couldn’t load goods onto the mezzanine using forklifts, so Heighton incorporated goods hoist into the mezzanine system to get goods up and down.
Fixing the constraint
Heighton designed a mezzanine system in their existing facility with gantry systems underneath to lift heavy items under the mezzanine. Heighton also included a goods hoist for getting goods up and down off the mezzanine. For durability of the floor, we installed a composite floor covering along with the suspended ceiling with an AC system to get the area on the mezzanine temperature controlled.
Implementation
The result was a fit-for-purpose solution that increased the versatility of HYDACs production and assembly area. Heighton provided a turnkey solution including Gantry systems, Goods hoists, Suspended ceiling, and AC system.
