INDUSTRIAL Conveying has developed a sortation system for replacing forklifts in large warehouses with floor space problems.
The High Bay Stacker system is said to have accurate selecting during the materials handling process, while reducing damage to product.
It can put a single product into store, or choose multiple products and dispatch for distribution purposes.
According to the company, its solution can combine with automatic truck loading systems for pre-assembly of loads waiting for the next truck to arrive. This accelerates loading, reducing fuel use.
The system can also ‘cube’ the load to get optimum usage of the available truck space, and load B-Double trucks automatically.
Aisle-specific stacker cranes are controlled via radio frequency technology to place and retrieve pallets at almost any height. They are most suited to handling consistent pallets and multiple loads.
This automated stacking retrieval system is said to increase safety by eliminating forklifts. The company claims stacker cranes can reach much higher than forklifts. They can work in a variety of industries, conditions and atmospheric variations.
The system suits general transport logistics services, the food and beverage processing industry, snack foods warehousing, general industrial warehouses and retail warehousing operations.
