Warehouse stacker
Storage stackers
Storage stacker enables automatic storage of cargo on storage racks. It is ideal for smart pallet warehouses, manufacturing plants: metal, automotive, food, wherever there is a need for automatic separation and storage of pallets and fast transport.
- The warehouse stacker saves time loading and transporting material.
- Maximum travel speed 4 m/s
- Maximum lift speed of 1.5 m/s
- Throughput of up to 60 pallets per hour
- Maximum payload of up to 4000kg
- Thanks to the scanner system, a pallet arriving at the stacker crane is assigned a place on the rack to which it is automatically transported.
- Position information for the stacker crane is obtained from encoders and a positioning system consisting of a code bar and a reading head.
- On the stacker crane, one option is roller conveyors with a 158mm pitch, reaching speeds of 12m/min, allowing automatic loading and unloading of pallets to/from the stacker crane, and another is telescopic forks.
Types of warehouse stacker cranes
Depending on the specifics of the racking system, the number of stored pallets and operational requirements, different types of warehouse stacker cranes are used. The design and functionality of the device are selected individually, taking into account the type of loads, the height of storage and the type of intra-warehouse goods transport.
Single column stacker cranes (pole stacker cranes)
Single-column stacker cranes are compact stacker cranes designed to operate in narrower aisles. The single-column design provides sufficient stability for standard pallets and loads of moderate weight. Often used in logistics centers, warehouses and distribution warehouses.
Where will single-column stacker cranes work well?
- Logistics centers with a high rate of unit orders (order picking),
- Wholesale and distribution warehouses, Production facilities with a linear flow of materials,
- Facilities with limited horizontal space,
- Seasonal or buffer warehouses.
Two-column (frame) stacker cranes
Two-column stacker cranes are specialized machines equipped with two supporting columns connected by a frame. They are used in high warehouses, handling large volumes and heavy load units.
Where will two-column stacker cranes work well?
- High Storage Warehouses,
- Automotive industry, industrial production,
- Intensive pallet distribution systems.
Gantry (frame) stacker cranes
Built on the basis of carts moving on crane tracks. They are characterized by a large working range and the ability to work in open spaces. Overhead crane stacker cranes make it possible to operate several storage zones within a single system.
Where will crane stacker cranes perform well?
- Production halls with variable spatial structure,
- Bulky material landfills,
- Buffer warehouses in mass production.
Suspended stacker cranes with turntable
Suspended stacker cranes with turntable are designed for operation in non-standard track layouts and with limited maneuvering space. The turntable mechanism makes it possible to change direction without having to move the entire unit.
Where will overhead stacker cranes with turntable work well?
- Warehouses with customized architecture,
- Sectors with hard-to-reach loading points,
- Automatic buffer zones.
Warehouse stacker cranes - choosing the best solution
Warehouse stacker cranes are an investment that pays off quickly. All thanks to greater fluidity of operations, lower labor costs and minimization of errors.
