Clark Materials Handling\u2019s electric forklifts help ensure emission-free logistics at a door and gate factory in Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Gro\u00dfz\u00f6beritz, Saxony-Anhalt, door and gate manufacturer Teckentrup produces steel doors and frames on one of Europe’s longest production lines. Around 1,500 to 2,000 doors roll off the production line every week. This requires a logistical masterpiece every single day. A total of 30 Clark electric forklifts, which prove their worth in all areas of the factory, make a significant contribution to this. The Clark fleet is a prime example of how emission-free, low-maintenance handling can be successfully implemented in industrial door production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teckentrup GmbH & Co. KG, headquartered in Westphalia and with production facilities in Saxony-Anhalt, is one of the largest manufacturers of doors and gates in Europe. As an expert in customised door and gate solutions, Teckentrup offers high-quality, customer-focused products in the home (garage doors), professional (functional doors) and industrial (industrial doors) sectors. The company works with its partners to develop tailor-made solutions and enjoys both national and international success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Industrial customers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Teckentrup currently has a high vertical range of manufacture of 90 per cent. With around 900 employees and a network of European subsidiaries and partners, the company has extensive market knowledge and develops doors that are precisely tailored to country-specific requirements. The focus is on the development and production of high-quality industrial doors and functional sheet steel doors, which are specially manufactured for use in fire, sound, burglary and smoke protection. Requirements have increased significantly in recent years due to stricter regulations and an increased need for security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cAs a medium-sized, owner-managed company, we are flexible, provide individual customer service and meet high requirements,\u201d explains Peter Handrich, Head of Supply Chain Management at Teckentrup in Gro\u00dfz\u00f6beritz. \u201cWe are the market leader in terms of approval depth and technical specifications, especially when it comes to safety issues such as fire protection or special constructions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Digitalisation plays an important role in accelerating and streamlining work processes. \u201cTeckentrup is driving forward digital solutions in all areas of the company, with a focus on sales and production,\u201d explains Handrich. \u201cOur online configurator TEO, for example, allows doors and gates to be configured quickly and in a user-friendly manner in accordance with standards, and construction projects to be planned efficiently,\u201d he adds. \u201cA new import function makes it possible to read, analyse and process service specifications at the touch of a button.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High demands on functional doors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Z\u00f6rbig Teckentrup operates a factory built in 1990 and continuously modernised and expanded to produce steel doors \u2013 in particular fire doors, tubular frame doors, roller shutters and frames. \u201cHere, industrial doors are manufactured largely automatically in two shifts,\u201d explains Handrich. \u201cDue to rising production figures of around 100,000 doors and 5,000 roller shutters per year, the capacity in the powder coating area at the Gro\u00dfz\u00f6beritz plant was expanded in 2023 with a new system and the manufacturing processes were restructured.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teckentrup is currently planning two new production lines for frames and a new mat hall for the manufacture of fire doors. Sustainability plays a major role: the roof of the production hall in Gro\u00dfz\u00f6beritz is equipped with a PV system with a total capacity of 1000 kWp for generating the company’s own electricity. When the decision was made to purchase new industrial trucks, it was clear that only environmentally friendly electric forklifts would be considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability and safety in the truck fleet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

\u201cWe tested several competing vehicles, but I liked Clark’s<\/a> \u2018green\u2019 one best and it won us over \u2013 not because of the colour,\u201d laughs Handrich, \u201cbut because of its good performance data and high user-friendliness.\u201d The close cooperation with Clark’s partner P&H Gabelstapler und Baumaschinen was also a decisive factor. \u201cP&H had already provided us with good advice and support with the Clark gas forklifts,\u201d says Handrich. Marcel Kr\u00e4mer, Head of Maintenance, can only agree: \u201cThe Clark forklifts and P&H have become indispensable in our factory.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Currently, 30 Clark electric forklifts are in use in Gro\u00dfz\u00f6beritz \u2013 including 27 GEX 20-30 electric forklifts with a load capacity of 2 and 3 tonnes and one GEX 50 electric forklift with a load capacity of 5 tonnes and a special triplex mast with a lifting height of 8.50 metres. The vehicle is mainly used for maintenance work, for example on the PV system. Two new Clark SE20 (48 volt) and SE30 (80 volt) electric forklifts were recently purchased. With a load capacity of 2 and 3 tonnes, these forklifts offer the perfect combination of ergonomics, safety and high handling performance. The compact forklifts are very manoeuvrable and ideal for indoor and outdoor use. With a steering angle of 101\u00b0 (zero steer turn axle), they prove particularly useful in narrow aisles or space-critical work areas, as they can turn almost on the spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Occupational health and safety are high priorities at Teckentrup. Management also listens to its employees. \u201cOur forklift drivers should feel comfortable on their forklifts, because good ergonomics increase productivity,\u201d says Peter Handrich. It was therefore important that the electric forklifts had an ergonomic driver’s seat and intuitive controls. Restraint systems from IWS provide additional safety. The IWS \u2018Pilot Protector\u2019 restraint system consists of gas-pressure-sprung swing doors that protect the driver in the event of the vehicle tipping over sideways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lead-acid instead of lithium-ion batteries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All Clark electric forklifts are equipped with lead-acid batteries. Teckentrup made a conscious decision against lithium-ion technology. \u201cThe use of Li-ion batteries is not cost-effective in our factory,\u201d explains Kr\u00e4mer. \u201cWe have the time to charge batteries because our logistics operate on a single shift basis.\u201d The site uses high-frequency charging technology so that vehicles are quickly ready for use when needed. \u201cWe have the space for the charging infrastructure. Lead-acid batteries have a long service life \u2013 often well over ten years \u2013 even with around 1,000 operating hours per year in single-shift operation,\u201d adds Kr\u00e4mer.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Tailored to the task<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Clark forklifts are used in all areas of the plant, from goods receipt and dispatch to truck loading and unloading. They distribute goods within the plant and supply the production lines with materials. Raw materials are delivered on coils or pallets and transported to the relevant consumption points. Larger coils are moved by crane; smaller coils and palletised goods are transported to their destination by forklift. The hydraulic fork adjustment ensures that the forks of the forklift can be adjusted from pallet to coil transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The material for current production is kept ready to hand at the workstations. Clark forklifts also ensure that supplies are replenished. The lead time from ordering a door solution to delivery is approximately 4-5 weeks for standard solutions. The finished doors are stored in a cantilever trolley in the warehouse or transported by forklift to the shipping department, where they are packaged. The forklifts responsible for picking the goods are equipped with a tablet so that picking can be carried out paperless via the merchandise management system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cOur goal at our plant in Gro\u00dfz\u00f6beritz is to make industrial door<\/a> and gate production as efficient and sustainable as possible \u2013 from resource-saving production and in-house power generation to emission-free and smooth logistics processes. Our partner Clark also makes an important contribution to this,\u201d concludes Handrich.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
