50kg Bin-Type Suspended Stacker Crane for High-Density Warehouse Systems

50kg Bin-Type Suspended Stacker Crane for High-Density Warehouse Systems

Product Overview

The bin-type suspended stacker crane is an automated storage and retrieval device designed for high-density warehouse systems, high-bay bin storage, and small-load AS/RS applications. It is mainly used for the automated handling of bin-type goods within storage aisles where floor space utilization and system density are important.

This model adopts an overhead rail structure with suspended rail traveling, which means the running mechanism is installed above the storage aisle rather than occupying floor conveyor space. For warehouse projects handling bins, totes, or small containers with a maximum load of 50 kg, this structure is suitable for compact aisle layouts and dense storage configurations.

The system supports horizontal travel, lifting motion, and fork transfer within one automated unit. With a maximum horizontal speed of 2.5 m/s, horizontal acceleration of 3 m/s², lifting speed of 1 m/s, and automatic positioning, it is suitable for automated bin storage and retrieval tasks requiring defined rhythm and system coordination.

Application Background

In high-density warehouse systems for bins and small goods, the main operational concerns usually include:

• how to increase storage density without occupying too much floor area
• how to maintain stable automated access inside narrow or high-bay aisles
• how to support frequent bin storage and retrieval with defined positioning logic
• how to connect storage equipment with WMS/WCS for task scheduling and inventory control
• how to handle multiple bin sizes within one project range

For this type of application, a suspended stacker crane provides a practical solution because the equipment runs on an overhead rail, leaving the lower aisle area available for storage layout and reducing floor-level interference. This makes it suitable for warehouse projects where space efficiency, automated retrieval, and high-bay bin access are key requirements.

Technical Solution

This suspended stacker crane is built around an overhead rail structure, a lifting mechanism, and a fork device for bin transfer. During operation, the crane travels horizontally along the suspended rail, lifts to the target storage level, and uses the fork mechanism to complete storage or retrieval at the rack position.

The system uses a sliding contact line for power supply and supports automatic positioning for bin access tasks. It can also be integrated with WMS/WCS to support automated scheduling, storage assignment, and inventory coordination.

Because this model is intended for bin-type goods up to 50 kg, the motion parameters and structure are suitable for small-load, high-frequency storage applications rather than pallet-class heavy-duty handling.

Motion and Positioning Features

• Overhead rail traveling for aisle operation without occupying floor transport space
• Maximum horizontal speed: 2.5 m/s
• Maximum horizontal acceleration: 3 m/s²
• Maximum lifting speed: 1 m/s
• Maximum lifting acceleration: 1 m/s²
• Fork maximum speed: 1 m/s
• Fork maximum acceleration: 1 m/s²
• Automatic positioning for storage and retrieval tasks
• WMS/WCS integration for automated warehouse control

Application Boundary

This page refers to a bin-type suspended stacker crane for small-load automated storage and retrieval.

It is mainly intended for:

• bin-type goods
• totes or small containers
• single-load handling up to 50 kg
• high-bay racking systems
• overhead rail warehouse layouts

It is not intended for pallet handling or heavy-load warehouse projects. If the project requires pallet storage, pallet stacker cranes, or floor-based heavy-duty transfer equipment, a different system type should be selected separately.

Actual project suitability should be confirmed according to bin dimensions, racking layout, aisle design, storage height, and control interface requirements.

Specifications

Specification Notes

• Maximum load 50 kg: suitable for bin-type goods and small-load warehouse applications
• Horizontal speed up to 2.5 m/s: suitable for higher-frequency aisle travel under automated control
• Horizontal acceleration up to 3 m/s²: supports faster running response in storage and retrieval cycles
• Lifting speed up to 1 m/s: suitable for vertical access in high-bay racking
• Bin size range 100–600 mm / 100–400 mm: suitable for different tote or bin dimensions within the project range
• Project-based customization is required for aisle layout, rack geometry, and control logic matching

Applications

Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS)
Used for automated storage and retrieval of bin-type goods in high-bay warehouse environments.

High-Bay Bin Storage Systems
Suitable for warehouse projects requiring dense storage of bins, totes, or small containers.

E-Commerce Fulfillment Centers
Used for multi-SKU small goods storage and automated bin access in fulfillment operations.

Manufacturing Small-Part Storage
Suitable for automated storage and retrieval of components, spare parts, and production support materials.

Pharmaceutical and Temperature-Controlled Warehouses
Applicable to bin storage projects where automated access and high storage density are required, subject to project environment confirmation.

System Integration

This suspended stacker crane can be integrated with:

• WMS systems
• WCS systems
• high-bay racking systems
• bin storage workstations
• inbound and outbound handling interfaces
• automated warehouse scheduling logic

In most projects, the suspended stacker crane is used as a core storage and retrieval unit within a complete automated warehouse system, rather than as an independent standalone machine.

Advantages

1. Overhead Structure for Better Floor Space Utilization
Because the crane runs on a suspended rail, it reduces occupation of lower aisle floor space and supports denser warehouse layouts.

2. Suitable for High-Density Bin Storage
The structure is intended for bin-type goods up to 50 kg, making it suitable for compact high-bay storage projects.

3. Defined Motion Parameters for Automated Operation
The specified horizontal speed, acceleration, lifting speed, and fork speed provide a clear basis for system rhythm matching and project planning.

4. Automatic Positioning and WMS/WCS Integration
The system supports automated storage control and can be integrated into warehouse scheduling and inventory management logic.

5. Flexible Bin Size Adaptation
The configurable bin dimension range supports different project requirements within the stated size limits.

How to Select

Choose by load type
This model is suitable when the handled goods are bin-type loads with a maximum single load of 50 kg.

Choose by warehouse layout
It is suitable for projects using high-bay racking and overhead rail aisle design.

Choose by goods dimensions
Confirm that the actual bin or tote size falls within the project-supported range of:

• Length: 100–600 mm
• Width: 100–600 mm
• Height: 100–400 mm

Choose by automation level
This system is suitable when the warehouse requires automated storage and retrieval with WMS/WCS coordination.

Choose by project boundary
If the project requires pallet handling, heavy-load access, or floor-based transfer equipment, a different equipment category should be selected.
