Founder Hein Heuvelman traded in stone, tar and even pigs when the company began in the 1880s. Times have changed. Today, Heuvelman is one of the leading softwood timber suppliers in the Netherlands.
With 'nowhere to grow' and space at a premium, Baumann sideloaders are the best option for handling and storing their long loads.
Cantilever racking provides much needed storage density, made easier by the handling accuracy provided by the trucks. Being able to reduce aisle widths and turn in tight spaces also makes a lot of sense.
The site is busy, 30 lorry loads a day is typical, most of which are rapidly loaded and unloaded with one of the 14 ELX Series 120v electric sideloaders. The sideloaders also feed the two processing lines, making them an integral part of the system.
