Stacker Cranes For Pallets

Stacker Cranes for Pallets
Stacker cranes are machines designed

for the automated storage of materials.
They travel along the aisles of the
warehouse, where they enter, position
and extract materials.

STACKER CRANES FOR PALLETS
Stacker cranes are machines designed for

the automated storage of materials by
means of automated mechanical
movements. Materials are entered and
extracted in the same movement (this is
known as a combined cycle). This
increases the productivity of the
installation at the same time as reducing
the resources required for it to function. The Mecalux stacker cranes are state-
of-the-art machines with commands
In order to move the loads in the operated by vector-controlled
warehouse, the stacker cranes can carry frequency variators with positioning

and intelligent control by PC or PLC.

What is more, it has electronic energy

Twin-mast MTB stacker cranes

for pallets
Twin-mast stacker cranes have been
developed for circumstances requiring
more demanding features. They offer
enhanced improved performance in terms
of storage height, load capacity and
working speeds.
The lifting cradle operates between two

columns allowing access to all levels, thus
ensuring that the installation is sturdy and
strong.
This class of stacker cranes also offers a

wide range of machines enabling optimal
adaptation to height and weight factors
of the load. The range of twin-mast
