Pallet storage 8 to 40 m high, one stacker crane per aisle, fully automatic put-away and retrieval.

A pallet AS/RS combines high-bay racking, aisle stacker cranes, inbound/outbound conveyors and warehouse management software. The crane runs on a rail in the aisle, travelling, lifting and extending its forks at the same time to store or retrieve any pallet location. Single-deep racks give the fastest access; double-deep racks give higher density. Deeper storage needs a lane shuttle (pallet shuttle), not longer forks. The structure can be rack-clad, forming the building envelope, or stand inside an existing hall.

Typical uses

  • Raw-material and finished-goods stores in manufacturing
  • Food and beverage, cold chain (-25 °C)
  • Controlled storage for pharma and chemicals
  • Pallet reserve in wholesale and retail distribution
