Charging without load peaks - Behrens-Wöhlk GmbH & Co. KG

Application Story

02/03/2021 / Drensteinfurt, Germany

Fronius battery charging technology improves operating procedures at timber wholesaler Behrens-Wöhlk.

In order to supply its customers reliably and on time, smooth intralogistics processes are indispensable for timber wholesaler Behrens-Wöhlk – in particular at the central warehouse in Drensteinfurt, North Rhine-Westphalia. Here, electrically-powered forklift trucks ensure efficient and emissions-free goods transport. However, in the past the battery charging technology has been a source of problems, with unwanted load peaks causing frequent malfunctions in operating procedures and resulting in high costs. Fronius Perfect Charging has not only overcome this challenge with its Selectiva battery chargers, but it has also enabled the Behrens Group to achieve considerable cost savings and extend the service life of the traction batteries.

The Selectiva devices impressed across the board, and the entire Behrens Group has switched to Fronius charging technology.

Worktops and doors, steps, wall and ceiling elements, boards and parquet: at the central warehouse of BERO Holzhandelsgesellschaft mbH in Drensteinfurt near Münster, countless wood products are stacked as far as the eye can see. At the nearby site of Seiling GmbH & Co. KG in Ahlen, construction and insulating materials, floors, carpentry supplies as well as a comprehensive range of accessories are stored. The noticeable thing about both sites? The characteristic smell of the material in the air, and the low level of noise. Although numerous forklift trucks move back and forth between the aisles of the high-bay warehouse, it is pleasantly quiet. The typical diesel smell outdoors in many locations? Also non-existent. 

Both companies are part of the Behrens Group, which - with a total of 14 sites - is one of the leading wholesalers of timber and construction elements in Germany. The supply region covers extensive areas of federal states North Rhine-Westphalia, Lower Saxony, Bremen, Hamburg, Brandenburg, Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia and Saxony. With roughly 850 employees, the Behrens Group generates a turnover of around 250 million euros per year. Andreas Jedamzik reports that the industry is booming even during the coronavirus pandemic: “We haven’t recorded a drop in sales since the beginning of the crisis.” Building work is continuing as usual and renovations during periods of lockdown and curfew have even been going ahead more often than before.
