SOLUTION
Stacker cranes for heavy loads
Automated heavy-load storage is defined by product weight, geometry and support. The stacker crane receives the load at the store entrance, puts it away and retrieves it at the service station.
Logistics example: load
Up to 3,500 kg
Example product length
1,000 to 6,000 mm
Example product width
Up to 1,300 mm
Example product height
Up to 2,700 mm
Function
Automated storage and retrieval
The load determines storage and handling
Sizing considers the load together with its carrier. Length, width and height determine storage positions, while pick-up and placement points define the handling interfaces.
One logistics configuration in the range accepts loads up to 3,500 kg. The dimensions in the specifications refer to that configuration; they are not universally combinable limits for every product.
Line functions
Paper reels are one application for heavy and bulky product storage. Their handling involves shuttles, gantries and stacker cranes; the paper industry solution details the stations.
To prepare a study, provide the weight including the carrier, overall dimensions, pick-up surfaces and required movements. For reference management and picking, see pallet and package stacker cranes.
