Stacker cranes, or in logistics also called RFZ (rack conveyors), come in designs ranging from six to a maximum of 46 meters. They can either be tied to a row of racks via a linear rail system or travel across the entire warehouse with the help of a switch system.
Stacker cranes usually consist of these components:
- Chassis, mostly single track Rail guided
- Mast, connection between the landing gear and the head crossbeam
- Lifting sled, for the transport of the goods to be transported.
- Head traverse, for removal from the shelf
kingmoresmart stacker cranes are designed for vertical storage and retrieval of goods. These machines consist of a telescopic mast and a lifting carriage, which can travel along an elevated rail system within the warehouse. Stacker cranes are ideal for storing heavy, bulky loads in high-bay warehouses. They offer excellent space utilization and can operate at high speeds. Stacker cranes can be automated, which means they don't require a lot of manual labor. This automation also ensures high accuracy and safety in their operations.
