a stacker <strong>crane</strong> is a universal means<br />
of transport that can be used in<br />
warehousing and production. Unlike<br />
a conventional forklift or side loader,<br />
aisles are not required, as the stacker<br />
<strong>crane</strong> works from above. the telescopic<br />
mast is suspended from the single or<br />
double-girder <strong>crane</strong>, allowing it to cover<br />
the area. even passing over racks and<br />
other obstacles can be done without<br />
difficulty. a further advantage is the<br />
small space requirement. even a forklift<br />
requires an aisle that it is as wide as<br />
the vehicle – but not our stacker <strong>crane</strong>.<br />
since the fork tips can be rotated 90º,<br />
only a minimal aisle is needed to allow<br />
the lifting mast to pass through. the lifting<br />
mast can be continuously rotated<br />
through 360º. to load lorries standing<br />
at an angle, for example, the forks can<br />
be tilted from +7.5º to - 2.5º.<br />
from euro pallets to<br />
wooden beams<br />
a further advantage is the adjustability of<br />
the distance between forks. from 600<br />
mm fork spacing for euro pallets up to<br />
3,600 mm for wooden beams or sheet<br />
steel. this allows the load to be moved<br />
correctly and safely, in accordance with<br />
the goods being transported. the stacker<br />
<strong>crane</strong> can also be fitted with vacuum<br />
or magnetic grippers as an option.<br />
changeover systems for various lifting<br />
means or add-on equipment are possible.<br />
all the way up to a fully<br />
automatic storage<br />
and retrieval machine<br />
the stacker <strong>crane</strong> can be operated with<br />
floor or radio remote control, like normal<br />
hall <strong>crane</strong>s. as an option, it can also be<br />
used in fully automatic mode to service a<br />
pallet rack for example. command input<br />
can be done with touch screen panels.<br />
Distance measuring systems allow the<br />
controls to always know the position of<br />
the <strong>crane</strong>. combinations are also possible.<br />
the rear of the hall can thus be used<br />
as an automatic sheet metal warehouse,<br />
while the manually-controlled <strong>crane</strong> supports<br />
production at the front of the hall.<br />
simply a multi-talented <strong>crane</strong>.
