Battery Logistics for Lithium-Ion Batteries
Spedition Hanitzsch handles, stores and transports lithium-ion batteries and battery management systems at its logistics centre in Kesselsdorf near Dresden. Under international transport law, lithium-ion batteries are classified as dangerous goods: because of the fire risk they are subject to high safety standards and special environmental requirements. The logistics centre meets the requirements for these sensitive energy storage units, which are at the heart of electric mobility. Beyond transport and storage, Hanitzsch offers extensive value added services: individual quality checks, repacking, picking, packing, sequencing, pre-assembly and container stuffing, through to coordinating disposal. The company has been family-run since 1920, is led by the fourth generation and has more than 10,000 m² of covered warehouse space on site, security guards, its own workshop and an LNG filling station. Thanks to direct motorway access, the Greater Dresden area can be reached within 30 minutes.

Why are lithium-ion batteries classified as dangerous goods?
Lithium-ion batteries store a great deal of energy in a small space. If they are damaged, short-circuited or handled incorrectly, that energy can be released uncontrollably and start a fire that is difficult to extinguish. That is why international transport law classifies lithium-ion batteries as dangerous goods. This results in high safety standards for packaging, labelling, storage and transport as well as special environmental requirements. For companies this means: anyone who has batteries or battery management systems stored or shipped needs a partner whose facilities and processes meet these requirements. The Spedition Hanitzsch logistics centre in Kesselsdorf was designed for the handling and storage of lithium-ion batteries. The vehicles carry the legally required dangerous-goods equipment, the drivers are authorised to handle dangerous goods, and an in-house dangerous goods safety adviser monitors compliance with the regulations.
Which value added services does Hanitzsch offer around batteries?
Beyond transport and storage, Spedition Hanitzsch takes on extensive additional services so that batteries arrive exactly as production needs them. These include individual quality checks to your specifications, repacking into containers suitable for transport or storage, picking and packing of consignee-specific units, and sequencing in the order in which your production line calls off the parts. On request, staff pre-assemble components or stuff containers for onward transport. At the end of the product life cycle, Hanitzsch coordinates the return and the disposal. All services are tailored to your processes as an individual concept, because Hanitzsch sees itself as a partner along the entire production chain and not merely as a carrier. Your contact for logistics concepts and warehouse enquiries is the warehouse team on +49 35204 7803-262 or lager@spedition-hanitzsch.de.
Where are the batteries stored and how secure is the site?
Storage takes place at the Spedition Hanitzsch logistics centre in Kesselsdorf, Unkersdorfer Strasse 1, right next to the motorway on the outskirts of Dresden. The centre was designed to meet the requirements for the handling and storage of lithium-ion batteries and battery management systems. The site offers a total of more than 10,000 m² of covered warehouse space, usable for transhipment, short-term interim storage and long-term storage. The truck parking spaces are protected by security guards, an in-house workshop keeps the fleet ready for use at all times, and a certified wash bay and an LNG filling station are also part of the premises. Thanks to the proximity to the state capital and the direct motorway access, the entire Greater Dresden area can be supplied within 30 minutes. Daily scheduled services also connect Kesselsdorf with Hamburg, Berlin and Frankfurt am Main.
How do I commission battery logistics from Spedition Hanitzsch?
The quickest route is an enquiry to the warehouse team, which is responsible for logistics concepts and warehouse enquiries: by phone on +49 35204 7803-262 or by e-mail to lager@spedition-hanitzsch.de.

The company has been family-run since 1920, is now led by Andreas Hanitzsch in the fourth generation and employs more than 200 people.
