Stacker cranes

Warehouse stacker cranes are solutions that greatly facilitate automation in the warehouse. They are a key component of ASRS (Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems) - a properly selected stacker crane allows for efficient and effective handling of goods storage processes. Our offer includes multiple variants of stacker cranes, which can be selected according to the requirements of a particular company.

Which stacker crane will be suitable? Get to know the types of equipment of this type in the offer of MPL Techma

Both warehousing and movement of goods are processes that can vary significantly depending on the needs of the facility, the characteristics of the processes performed or the industry that the company deals with. For this reason, we pay attention to precisely tailoring our solutions to individual customer requirements. To learn more, take a look at MPL Techma's realizations - we prepare advanced automated warehouse systems for various industries. The basis of such solutions is often a stacker crane. Our offer of equipment of this type is divided into several main types in terms of the loads handled:

  • pallet stacker cranes - scalable constructions with dimensions adapted to euro-pallets;
  • plate stacker cranes - adapted for handling “mother” plates with material placed on them;
  • warehouse stacker cranes for spools of production material - equipped with advanced sensors to move spools to the appropriate locations in the warehouse;
  • warehouse stacker cranes for tires - designed to transport raw tires on “mother” pallets;
  • MiniLoad stacker - a series of stacker cranes with a smaller load capacity, designed to handle cartons, trays and boxes, as well as lighter pallets or slabs.

Due to the differences in the design of stacker cranes, it is important to remember to choose the right type in terms of the characteristics of the goods in the warehouse. First of all, the dimensions of the machine are an important issue, but that's not all - in addition to this, you should always pay attention to the lifting capacity, among other things.

What is an ASRS system?

Warehouse stacker cranes - both pallet stacker cranes and other types of equipment in this category - are often implemented as part of an ASRS system. The acronym stands for “Automated Storage and Retrieval System”. This type of solution is our specialty: we serve dozens of companies in various industrial sectors, providing our contractors with customized, advanced automatic storage systems. Both individual devices, such as a warehouse stacker crane, elevator, cart or conveyor, and complete systems can be tailored to the needs and requirements of specific processes. This makes such solutions suitable for any sector - from industry to e-commerce.

Stacker crane from MPL Techma - benefits for your warehouse

What benefits can you count on when you choose solutions from MPL Techma's portfolio? Whether you are interested in pallet stacker cranes or a warehouse stacker crane for other loads, you can expect significant improvements in warehouse operations. The biggest advantage is the optimal use of warehouse space, which is important in both larger and smaller facilities, as it has a direct impact on the speed of handling and potential profits for the company. It is worth mentioning that the stacker crane is a fairly tall device, which allows efficient handling of goods not only horizontally, but also vertically. However, that's not all - the stacker crane can also be integrated with a warehouse control system (WCS - “Warehouse Control System”), which allows for easier and more efficient operation.

An important advantage of automation is also the reduction of costs associated with the implementation of various warehouse processes. By choosing our solutions, you can make better use of available resources - what's more, your employees will be able to focus on more responsible tasks instead of repetitive activities related to moving goods. At the same time, the precise operation of automatic systems significantly increases the level of safety and reduces the risk of accidents. All this makes the stacker crane the right choice for practically any warehouse, regardless of its business profile. With solutions of this type you can ensure speed of work, safety and optimal use of warehouse space.

When is it worth implementing stacker cranes in a warehouse?

Warehouse process automation solutions will work well for both new facilities that want to rely on the most efficient proposals from the beginning, and older points in the process of modernization. What's more, our equipment can work with a wide range of goods - so we can reach representatives of various companies operating in the field of industry, logistics or warehousing with our offer. But when will such systems work best? Although the benefits will be apparent practically immediately regardless of the scale or characteristics of the business, it should be noted that the greatest improvements can be counted on in the case of warehouses handling goods of high variety, where at the same time there is a need for the rapid implementation of various warehouse activities. In such conditions, the stacker crane is an invaluable help - together with other storage automation equipment, such equipment allows you to significantly increase the frequency of the flow of goods.

It is also worth emphasizing the potential of stacker cranes and other proposals from our offer in warehouses with special requirements, such as cold storage or points storing hazardous materials. This is due to the fact that, with their use, it is possible to reduce the time employees spend in areas that pose a higher level of danger, which in turn translates into a reduced risk of various injuries.
