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 heavy load servo controlled pallet stacker crane is an automated aisle handling device designed for high-bay racking systems, AS/RS pallet storage, and automated pallet retrieval applications. It is mainly used for pallet storage and retrieval between rack locations and conveyor interface sections inside automated warehouse aisles.

This equipment adopts a double column stacker crane structure and 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, and other high-density automated storage projects.

This model is positioned around a servo-controlled motion solution, while alternative drive configurations can be confirmed by project. For automated pallet storage systems that require controlled motion response, repeatable rack access, and integration with warehouse software systems, this crane is a practical engineering solution.

Application Background

In high-bay pallet warehouse systems, stacker cranes are usually expected to:

• support medium to heavy pallet loads in narrow aisles
• provide controlled travel, lifting, and fork motion during automated storage and retrieval
• match rack geometry, pallet size, and conveyor interface conditions
• maintain stable operation under continuous warehouse handling cycles
• connect with warehouse management and control systems for automated task execution

For this type of warehouse layout, manual forklift access inside storage aisles is restricted by aisle width, rack height, and storage density. A servo controlled pallet stacker crane is therefore used to perform automated pallet storage and retrieval while maintaining controlled motion and repeatable access to storage positions.

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 rack layout and storage density requirements. Storage locations are identified through barcode addressing or laser positioning, while warehouse-side communication is supported through industrial Ethernet and wireless communication.

• Servo drive / frequency converter drive options according to project control requirements
• 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

Application Boundary

This page refers to a pallet stacker crane used for automated pallet storage and retrieval inside high-bay aisle-based 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.

System Integration

This pallet stacker crane can be integrated with:

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

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