About IBW
IBW Lager- und Fördertechnik GmbH from Waldeck-Sachsenhausen is a specialized provider of steel support structures for intralogistics. The company plans, designs, manufactures and assembles steel platforms for conveyor systems, maintenance platforms, office and storage platforms, apparel warehouses, stairs, ladders, railings and crash protection systems in projects ranging from 2 to 600 t of steel. The support structures are made of hot-rolled steel S235 or S355 (DIN EN 10025-2); surfaces are covered with coated chipboard (category P6), grating, tread plate or checker plate. Structural analysis is carried out in-house with 3D structural analysis software, with data exchange via 3D models in DWG/DXF, IFC or STEP format. Reference projects include logistics centers of Amazon, Austrian Post, Siemens Logistics/Deutsche Post as well as apparel warehouses for menswear retailer Digel.

Materials & Processes
Hot-rolled steel S235 (DIN EN 10025-2)
Standard material for platforms, support structures, stairs and crash protection.
Hot-rolled steel S355 (DIN EN 10025-2)
Higher-strength steel for support structures with high loads.
Coated chipboard (category P6)
Platform covering with anti-slip, melamine-resin coated surface (R9/R10).
Grating
Fire-load-free covering for sprinkler systems, lighting and ventilation; narrow mesh spacing possible.
Tread/checker plate
Anti-slip covers for step-overs and platforms.
Polyamide (crash protection equipment)
Equipment for crash protection systems in the intralogistics sector.
Wood/plywood
Stair treads and special coverings for office and storage platforms.
Stainless steel
Handrails, e.g. in the Austrian Post project, Allhaming.
Compressed-air blasting + wet coating (C2)
Surface treatment up to corrosion protection class C2.
Hot-dip galvanizing
Corrosion protection for outdoor use and aggressive environments.
Painting in RAL color
Color design of steel components according to customer preference.
