ADVANTAGES OF THE STAckER cRANE<br />

the stacker <strong>crane</strong> is often compared with the forklift. there are several factors<br />

that speak in favour of the forklift. however, the stacker <strong>crane</strong> is superior<br />

in several respects. thanks to the moveable forks, it can also be compared with<br />

the side loader. We want to show you a few advantages of the stacker <strong>crane</strong>,<br />

compared with the forklift and side loader.<br />

aisles are not required<br />

a stacker <strong>crane</strong> works from above.<br />

this means that it is not dependent<br />

upon a traversable aisle. crowded warehouse<br />

floors are no obstacle for the stacker<br />

<strong>crane</strong>.<br />

blocked aisle – an obstacle for the forklift<br />

blocked aisle – no problem for the stacker <strong>crane</strong><br />

Closer stacks – more<br />

storage volume in<br />

the same floor area<br />

for example, a stack distance of only the<br />

width of the telescopic mast is required<br />

to access the stack in a roof frame<br />

warehouse, thanks to the rotating fork<br />

tips. the fork carrier moves between<br />

the empty spaces, swivels the forks out<br />

and lifts the top frame.<br />

example: stacked wooden beams<br />

thanks to the rotating forks, only narrow aisles<br />

are required<br />

moving around<br />

on different levels<br />

if a fabrication building includes different<br />

levels, such as a loading ramp, this does<br />

not present an obstacle for the stacker<br />

<strong>crane</strong>. even storage racks that stand in<br />

a depression are not a problem for our<br />

multi-talented <strong>crane</strong>!<br />

fork tilt<br />

the fork tips can be tilted just as with a<br />

forklift or side loader. for example, this<br />

allows loading and unloading of lorries<br />

standing at an angle.<br />

Loading ramp – different levels<br />

Lorries standing at an angle – the stacker <strong>crane</strong><br />

can tilt its forks<br />

Different add-on equipment<br />

forks are not always the fastest handling<br />

equipment. Different add-on equipment<br />

is available for such situations. from vacuum<br />

equipment to client-specific grippers,<br />

we have the solution for your material<br />

handling problem! You need the<br />

fork carrier to unload lorries, but prefer<br />

to supply your machines using vacuum<br />

equipment? We can equip the stacker<br />

<strong>crane</strong> with a fast-change system and<br />

you can use the stacker <strong>crane</strong> as a universal<br />

machine in your production!<br />

fast changeover system – example:<br />

fork carrier / vacuum gripper<br />

economic benefit<br />

You will obtain considerable cost benefits<br />

from the 30–40% increase in<br />

warehouse capacity. numerous automation<br />

options bring additional benefits.<br />

We would be happy to show you how<br />

your company can achieve an optimal<br />

cost-benefit relationship.<br />
