Stacker cranes

Stacker cranes are automated machines designed to store and retrieve pallets efficiently. These systems move along three axes—length, height, and depth—allowing them to load and unload goods from racking structures with high agility and precision.

Mecalux stacker cranes feature advanced technology that enhances warehouse productivity, optimises space utilisation, and increases storage capacity. By automating storage and retrieval tasks, they also help reduce human error and minimise safety risks associated with manual handling, making them an essential component for efficient and reliable warehouse operations.

Advantages:

  • Increased productivity: Stacker cranes can operate continuously 24/7, performing storage and retrieval in the same movement, enabling high agility and faster cycle times.

  • Total automation: With autonomous operations, stacker cranes eliminate manual tasks, reducing errors and streamlining warehouse management.

  • Maximum space utilisation: Capable of reaching heights up to 45 meters in aisles as narrow as 1.5 meters, stacker cranes make optimal use of vertical and horizontal space.

  • Double- and multi-depth: These cranes are ideal for high-density racking systems, such as pallet flow or Pallet Shuttle systems, supporting single- or double-deep racking configurations.

  • High flexibility: A wide range of stacker cranes allows users to adapt the system to specific requirements regarding load capacity, height, and cycle times.

  • Safety: The precision with which stacker cranes handle pallets significantly reduces the need for other handling equipment, enhancing safety in the warehouse.

  • Comprehensive solution: Mecalux provides a complete package that includes the design, manufacture, installation, and commissioning of all AS/RS components, such as racking, stacker cranes, conveyors, and warehouse control systems (WCS and WMS).
