Machine storage Berlin

Modern machines and systems usually involve very large investments. Even if machines are getting on in years and have depreciated, they still represent a considerable value. When relocating operations or purchasing new machines, it can quickly happen that there is no longer enough space and storage capacity available. If you don't want to sell the machine directly or scrap it straight away, you quickly face a major problem. Professional machine storage or interim storage can help here.

Machine storage is very different from the storage of conventional goods such as those found in private households or offices. The highly complex and sensitive machines must be suitably prepared, appropriately packaged and sometimes even specially preserved. Appropriate planning is also usually required for dismantling and transporting the machines to the machine warehouse. This requires the necessary expertise and many years of experience. The storage conditions for machine storage must also take into account the type and construction of the stored machines so that they are not damaged during the storage period. This applies in particular to the increasingly sensitive electronics in modern machines and systems.

Why is machine storage important?

Machines are often expensive investments that can quickly lose value if stored incorrectly. Corrosion, moisture, dust and temperature fluctuations can damage sensitive parts. Correct storage ensures that the machines are optimally protected and are immediately ready for use again when they are needed. Good storage can also minimise maintenance costs and extend the service life of the machines.

Advantages of professional machine storage

Professional service providers like us therefore offer customised storage solutions that are tailored to the specific needs of the machine and the company. Your benefits:

• Comprehensive protection: machines are protected from external influences such as dust, moisture and temperature fluctuations. Special protective films, lubricants or sealed storage areas can be used.
• Optimum space utilisation: Space is used efficiently thanks to professional handling and the use of suitable storage rooms. This is particularly advantageous for companies with limited storage space.
• Security measures: Machines are stored in monitored and secured storage facilities, minimising the risk of theft or vandalism.
• Cost efficiency: Instead of storing machines improperly in the production hall, costs for repairs and spare parts can be reduced through professional storage.

Important factors for machine storage

To ensure that the machines to be stored remain in optimum condition, a number of key factors must be taken into account:

Preparatory measures

Thorough cleaning of the machines is essential before storage. Oil and grease residues should be removed to prevent corrosion. Depending on the machine, protective coatings of special oils or greases can also be applied to protect metal surfaces from rust. If possible, moving parts should be fixed in place to prevent damage caused by unintentional movement during storage.

Storage environment

The storage environment plays a key role in maintaining the value of the machines. Temperature fluctuations and humidity are particularly critical as they can favour corrosion and rust formation. Dry, well-ventilated and temperature-controlled storage rooms that are constantly air-conditioned are ideal. Outdoor storage harbours additional risks, which is why machines should be stored in closed storage rooms wherever possible.

Regular maintenance during storage

Even during the storage period, machines should not be left completely unattended. Regular inspections are important in order to recognise and rectify possible damage at an early stage. Lubricants should be checked and replaced if necessary. Machines can also be briefly put into operation at regular intervals to ensure that all moving parts remain functional.

Special challenges in machine storage

Certain machines, such as large industrial plants or production machines, place special demands on storage. Additional measures often have to be taken here, such as dismantling the machines into transportable individual parts or using special heavy-duty storage systems. The storage of sensitive electronic controls also requires special care in order to protect them from static discharges or temperature fluctuations.
