What Is a Stacker Crane System?
A stacker crane is the core of an AS/RS high-bay warehouse. It automatically stores and retrieves goods from racking structures up to 45 meters high, ensuring continuous and accurate inventory handling.
By integrating stacker cranes into its turnkey automated storage solutions, Alstef Group provides:
- Custom dimensions (length and height) tailored to flow rates and storage volumes
- Adjustable shelving heights up to 45 m
- Twin-load handling for higher throughput
- Multi-depth storage options (with satellite technology beyond three depths)
- Compatibility with a wide variety of loads, from pallets to reels and containers
- Adaptability to demanding environments, including cold storage from -30°C to +4°C
Pallet storage
Stacker cranes are ideal for handling standard wooden pallets as well as special supports like steel frames or paper reels. Payloads range from a few hundred kilograms up to several tons.
Containers and boxes storage
For smaller loads, our Mini-Load AS/RS handles containers, totes, cartons, and packages of various shapes and weights with speed and accuracy.
A Core Element of Smart Intralogistics
Stacker cranes are fully integrated into Alstef Group’s end-to-end intralogistics solutions, connecting seamlessly with:
- Warehouse Management Software (WMS)
- Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and AMRs
- Conveyor and sortation systems
- Goods-to-person picking stations
This creates a cohesive, automated ecosystem that boosts warehouse performance and ensures smooth material flow.
