Elevating Self-Storage Convenience in Paderborn
Transporting goods over 3 floors easily with the reliable SHERPA goods lift
Over the past years, self-storage facilities have experienced a surge in demand. Whether it's individuals downsizing their living spaces or businesses seeking storage for inventory and equipment, the convenience and flexibility of self-storage make it a popular choice. As a result, these facilities are becoming essential components, also of mid- and smaller town infrastructure, meeting the evolving storage needs of residents. In 2017, Lödige Industries installed a SHERPA goods only lift for the self-storage facility “Lager24/7” in Paderborn, serving 3 floors with a total load capacity of 1,500 kg.
Paderborn's Storage Revolution
Space is becoming an increasingly valuable asset, in both, small and bigger towns. The demand for self-storage facilities has therefore been continuously rising. To address the needs of the residents in Paderborn, Andreas Hartmann decided to open the self-storage facility “Lager24/7” in 2017. The facility offers space for all possessions that need to be stored temporarily. To ensure that even bulky goods find their way into their storage boxes a goods lift needed to be integrated. Customers can easily store and retrieve their personal belongings in 500 storing boxes.
Why SHERPA?
The focus of this project was the vertical movement of goods only. Customers can easily store and retrieve their personal belongings in the 500 available storing boxes from one level to another. The installed Lödige SHERPA has a maximum loading capacity of 1,500 kg and a lifting height of 7060 mm. From an on-site perspective, the key advantage of the Lödige SHERPA is the self-supporting lift shaft, meaning it does not have to be walled into a shaft, allowing retrofitting in existing buildings. Since the opening in 2017, the lift has been transporting a wide variety of belongings of the self-storage tenants. From boxes to bulky sofas, even a piano can be moved conveniently.
