Consulting - Intralogistics Safety for Warehousing and Logistics

In intralogistics, high dynamics, narrow passageways, time pressure, and complex regulations all converge. This is precisely where we come in. Our consulting services for intralogistics safety support companies in identifying risks early, complying with legal requirements, and implementing economically sensible protective measures.

Safety in intralogistics – when regulations, practice and economic efficiency must come together

Uncertainty about the legal permissibility of your warehouse? Recurring damage to doors or racking? Discussions with landlords? Employees who say „we've always done it this way“?

Security does not arise by chance. It arises from analysis, structure, and clear decisions. Ours Consulting Intralogistics Security combines technical expertise, legal understanding, and decades of practical experience.

Door and gate damage are among the typical „hidden cost drivers“ in intralogistics:

  • Repair and maintenance costs

  • Downtime and insurance claims

Whether it's a security concept, storage evaluation or leasing appraisal – we provide clarity, structure and sound decision-making foundations.

Module 1: 360° Safety Check-up – Spotting Risks Before They Happen

Many risks in the warehouse or production arise not from individual errors, but from established structures, habits, and a lack of transparency. Our 360° Safety Check-up is based on an independent safety audit with a clear specialist focus on intralogistics. We observe real operational processes – not just documents.

Our analysis includes:

Everyday driving characteristics

Employee security awareness

Vehicle Equipment

Transport routes and infrastructure

Critical interaction points between:

The result is the visualisation of hazard and risk areas on site plans, from which we develop a structured, prioritised safety concept.

Risk-based protection concept

Prioritising by urgency and cost-effectiveness

Organisational, technical and personal measures

Vendor-independent system recommendations

We don't recommend a „jack of all trades“, but precisely the solution that makes functional and economic sense.

Module 2: Stock Assessment - Legal Security with a Reliable Expert Report

A warehouse assessment creates certainty – professionally, legally, and organisationally. There is often uncertainty about whether traffic routes, shelving systems, or safety devices comply with current regulations (e.g., DGUV regulations, BetrSichV, ArbStättV) or whether hidden risks have arisen in everyday operations. 

As part of our structured on-site analysis, we don't just consider individual details, but the interplay of all safety-relevant factors.  Among other things, we check:

Storage systems and their condition

Mandatory and supplementary protective equipment

Traffic routes, driving lane widths and safety clearances

Signage, markings and organisational regulations

Compliance with relevant regulations 

Based on this analysis, we will produce a robust expert report with a clear assessment of legal permissibility. Identified risks will be comprehensibly prioritised and supplemented with concrete, economically assessed recommendations for action – be they technical, organisational or personal.

This way, you'll not only get an inventory but also a well-founded basis for decisions for the sustainable improvement of your warehouse security.

Module 3 - Leasing Appraisal – Objective Assessment upon Return of Industrial Trucks

The return of leased vehicles often leads to discussions about damage, wear and tear, and costs. The question frequently arises: are these normal signs of use – or damage that incurs a charge? An independent leasing report provides transparency and protects against unjustified claims.

We inspect industrial trucks before or after lease expiry directly on-site and check both the actual condition of the vehicle and the contractual framework. In particular, we analyse:.

  • Visible damage and its cause

  • Distinction between typical wear and tear and damage caused by misuse

  • Operating conditions at the respective plant

  • Lease agreement terms and conditions and agreed special provisions

  • Scope of repair including realistically calculated costs

All findings are documented – including proof images, recording logs, and a comprehensible cost estimate. This provides you with an objective basis for evaluation in discussions with leasing companies or expert surveyors.

The aim is not confrontation, but clarity: you know which damages are actually claimable – and which are not. This creates confidence in negotiations and protects your company from unnecessary expenses.
