2000kg Barcode Guided Pallet Stacker Crane for AS/RS Automated Pallet Storage

2000kg Barcode Guided Pallet Stacker Crane for AS/RS Automated Pallet Storage

Product Overview

The 2000kg barcode guided pallet stacker crane is an automated aisle handling device designed for AS/RS pallet storage, high-bay warehouse automation, and automated pallet retrieval systems. It is mainly used to move palletized goods between rack storage locations and infeed or outfeed conveyor sections inside automated warehouse aisles.

This equipment adopts a double column stacker crane structure, which is suitable for high-bay pallet warehouses and narrow aisle storage layouts. Through coordinated movement of the traveling mechanism, lifting mechanism, and fork mechanism, the crane completes pallet storage and retrieval tasks inside the aisle. The rated load is up to 2000 kg, and the total equipment height is up to 24 m, making it suitable for palletized goods handling in manufacturing warehouses, logistics centers, e-commerce fulfillment centers, and other automated pallet storage projects.

The system supports barcode positioning as the main addressing method for automated pallet storage, while laser positioning can also be configured according to project requirements. Communication with warehouse systems is supported through wireless communication and industrial Ethernet.

Application Background

In automated pallet storage systems, stacker cranes are usually expected to:

• support high-bay pallet storage and retrieval in narrow aisles
• handle medium to heavy pallet loads under continuous operating conditions
• coordinate travel, lifting, and fork extension under warehouse control logic
• match rack geometry, pallet size, and conveyor interface requirements
• reduce manual forklift access inside high-density storage aisles

For this type of warehouse layout, manual aisle handling is limited by storage height, aisle width, and throughput requirements. A barcode guided pallet stacker crane is used to perform automated pallet storage and retrieval while maintaining repeatable rack access and controlled movement inside the aisle.

Technical Solution

This equipment mainly consists of a double column main structure, traveling mechanism, lifting mechanism, fork mechanism, wire rope lifting system, power supply system, addressing system, and electrical control system. During operation, the crane travels along the aisle, lifts to the designated rack level, and extends the fork to complete pallet placement or retrieval at the target storage position.

The system can be configured with single deep or double deep, single position fork arrangements according to project storage density and rack layout. Storage locations are identified through barcode positioning or laser positioning, while warehouse-side communication is supported through industrial Ethernet.

Transmission Features

• Double column stacker crane structure for high-bay pallet handling
• Single deep or double deep, single position fork options for different rack layouts
• Rated load up to 2000 kg, with higher load confirmation by project if required
• Travel speed up to 200 m/min for aisle transfer efficiency
• Lifting speed 40 m/min loaded / 60 m/min empty for vertical storage access
• Fork speed 30 m/min loaded / 40 m/min empty for pallet insertion and extraction
• Travel acceleration 0.6 m/s² / lifting acceleration 0.5 m/s² / fork acceleration 0.6 m/s²
• Positioning accuracy: Travel ±5 mm / Lifting ±5 mm / Fork ±3 mm
• Wire rope lifting method for controlled vertical movement
• Sliding contact line power supply for continuous aisle operation
• Barcode or laser positioning for storage location identification
• Frequency converter or servo drive for motion control

Application Boundary

This page refers to a pallet stacker crane used for automated pallet storage and retrieval inside high-bay narrow aisle warehouse systems. It is mainly intended for palletized goods with defined pallet dimensions, rack clearances, aisle geometry, and load center conditions.

Project-specific items such as travel distance, lifting stroke, fork depth, rack layout, aisle length, warehouse height, and interface logic should be confirmed separately according to the actual warehouse design. If the project involves low-temperature storage, strong corrosion, or other special operating conditions, the structural and electrical configuration should be confirmed by project.

Applications

Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS)
Used for automated pallet storage and retrieval inside high-bay rack aisles.

Automated Pallet Storage Systems
Suitable for structured pallet handling projects requiring repeatable aisle access and automatic storage assignment.

High-Bay Racking Systems
Used in pallet warehouses where higher vertical space utilization and narrow aisle handling are required.

Manufacturing Warehouses
Suitable for palletized raw materials, semi-finished goods, or finished goods storage in automated factory warehouse systems.

E-commerce Fulfillment Centers
Used for pallet storage and replenishment handling in high-density distribution environments.

Logistics Distribution Centers
Suitable for pallet transfer and structured storage access in automated logistics projects.

Food and Beverage Warehouses
Used for palletized goods storage where automated aisle handling is required.

Pharmaceutical Warehouses
Suitable for palletized storage in controlled warehouse logistics systems.

Third-Party Logistics (3PL)
Used for palletized goods handling in shared automated warehouse operations.

System Integration

This pallet stacker crane can be integrated with:

• AS/RS infeed and outfeed conveyor sections
• warehouse management systems (WMS)
• barcode identification systems
• laser positioning systems
• automated pallet conveyor lines
• high-bay rack storage systems
• warehouse communication and control networks

In most projects, the equipment works as a core aisle handling unit within a complete automated warehouse system rather than as a standalone machine.

The double column structure and wire rope lifting system are suitable for palletized loads up to 2000 kg.

Suitable for High-Bay and Narrow Aisle Layouts
The crane is designed for high-bay racking systems and narrow aisle warehouse environments, helping improve storage density.

Practical WMS Integration
It supports industrial Ethernet communication for connection with warehouse management and control systems.

Repeatable Positioning Performance
The system supports Travel ±5 mm, Lifting ±5 mm, and Fork ±3 mm positioning accuracy for repeatable pallet handling.
