ELVEDI has developed a weather protection roller blind for pallet racking. The roll-up curtain is suitable for racking systems with a height of up to five metres and a compartment width of up to four metres including the pallet. The pallet rack enables safe outdoor storage even of particularly heavy items such as large machine components. With its weather-protected industrial shelving, ELVEDI offers the only shelving systems with automatic roll-up access to date.

Users of the weather protection roller blind come from the mechanical engineering and food production sectors, among others. However, the system can be adapted to all goods that are stored on pallets. Since ELVEDI’s racking systems are modular, they can be adapted to individual customer requirements. The technology behind the concept: an electric motor ensures fast and safe opening and closing of the splash-proof and air-permeable protective tarpaulin; unwieldy and heavy roller shutter doors or sliding doors are not required, in contrast to standard market solutions. In addition, the shelf with roller curtain has stabilising guide rails that prevent the curtain from flapping, so that weather protection is maintained even in strong winds.

Until recently, there was no efficient way of safely storing goods outdoors in the industrial sector. Therefore, until now, mainly less valuable products have been stocked outside the warehouses. With the weather-protected shelving systems from ELVEDI, users gain significant flexibility: within the appropriate dimensions, all goods can be stored safely outdoors. The shelving expert’s weather protection concept is also available for cantilever racking, which is suitable for long goods made of wood and metal, for example.
