Material Handling & Forklifts
Forklift trucks, stacker cranes and automated warehouses move on VOL-Stahl: we produce hot-rolled mast profiles, telescopic slides and guide rails for the material handling industry.
Mast profiles for forklift trucks
Lift masts are the backbone of every forklift. Our hot-rolled special mast profiles combine high strength with the precise channel geometry that rollers and chains require — for standard, duplex and triplex masts of leading truck manufacturers.
Telescopic and linear rails for intralogistics
Automated storage and retrieval systems, load handling devices and shuttle systems rely on telescopic slides and precision guide rails. We manufacture them from cold-drawn profiles — hardened and machined on request, up to the largest dimensions.
One partner for the whole truck
Beyond the mast, we supply special profiles for fork carriers, chassis elements and attachments — rolled to your drawing, delivered in production-ready lengths, supported by our European plants and warehouse locations.

VOL-Stahl is a specialist supplier to the material handling and floor conveyor industry: hot-rolled mast profiles for forklift trucks in standard, duplex and triplex configurations, special profiles for fork carriers and chassis, telescopic slides for load handling devices and precision guide rails for stacker cranes, shuttles and automated storage systems. Profiles are rolled to customer drawings in our own European mills, with the strength, straightness and channel geometry that rollers and chains demand. From single prototypes to OEM series supply, we keep intralogistics moving.
