50kg Load High-Speed Bin Stacker Crane for High-Density Warehouse Systems

50kg Load High-Speed Bin Stacker Crane for High-Density Warehouse Systems

Product Overview

The bin stacker crane is an automated storage and retrieval device designed for high-density warehouse systems, high-bay bin storage, and small-load ASRS applications. It is mainly used for the storage, retrieval, and aisle transfer of bin-type goods, totes, and other small storage units within defined rack positions.

This model adopts an overhead rail structure with suspended rail traveling, allowing the equipment to run above the aisle instead of occupying floor-level transport space. For projects where warehouse density, aisle utilization, and automated bin access are important, this structure is suitable for compact high-bay storage layouts.

With a maximum load capacity of 50 kg, maximum horizontal speed of 2.5 m/s, maximum horizontal acceleration of 3 m/s², maximum lifting speed of 1 m/s, and fork speed of up to 1 m/s, the system is suitable for small-load warehouse operations that require defined motion parameters and automated control.

Application Background

In high-density warehouse projects, the main operational requirements usually include:

• increasing storage density without excessive floor occupation
• supporting repeated storage and retrieval of bin-type goods
• maintaining stable access inside high-bay aisles
• improving coordination between storage positions and warehouse control systems
• handling multi-SKU inventory in a more structured automated environment

For this type of application, a bin stacker crane provides a practical solution because it combines horizontal travel, vertical lifting, and fork transfer in one automated unit. The overhead rail design is especially suitable for warehouses where floor space should remain available for rack layout and related handling interfaces.

Technical Solution

This bin stacker crane is built around an overhead rail structure, lifting mechanism, and fork handling unit for automated 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 continuous power supply and supports automatic positioning for access to defined rack locations. Through WMS/WCS integration, it can support warehouse scheduling, slot allocation, inventory tracking, and coordinated storage operations.

Because this model is intended for single-load handling up to 50 kg, its motion parameters and structural configuration are suitable for bin-type and small-part storage, rather than pallet-class heavy-duty handling.

Transmission Features

Application Boundary

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

It is mainly intended for:

• bins
• totes
• small containers
• small-part storage units
• single-load handling up to 50 kg
• high-bay racking systems
• overhead rail aisle layouts

It is not intended for pallet handling or heavy-load storage projects. If the application involves pallets, pallet stacker cranes, or floor-based heavy-duty transfer systems, a different equipment category should be selected separately.

Actual suitability should be confirmed according to bin dimensions, rack geometry, aisle layout, storage height, and control interface requirements.

Specifications

Specification Notes

• 50 kg maximum load: suitable for bin-type goods, totes, and small-part storage units
• 2.5 m/s horizontal speed: suitable for higher-frequency automated aisle travel
• 3 m/s² horizontal acceleration: supports faster response during storage and retrieval cycles
• 1 m/s lifting speed: suitable for vertical access in high-bay rack systems
• 1 m/s fork speed: suitable for controlled bin extraction and placement
• 100–600 mm bin length and width range: suitable for multiple bin specifications within one project range
• 100–400 mm bin height range: suitable for common small-load storage containers, subject to project confirmation

Applications

Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS)
Used for automated bin storage, retrieval, and slot handling in high-bay warehouse environments.

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

High-Density Warehouse Systems
Applicable to layouts where aisle utilization and compact rack configuration are important.

E-Commerce Fulfillment and Order Processing Centers
Used for tote-based and multi-SKU inventory handling in higher-frequency warehouse operations.

Manufacturing Material Storage Systems
Suitable for components, spare parts, and production support materials that require structured automated access.

Pharmaceutical and Controlled Warehouse Systems
Applicable to small-load automated storage projects where defined rack access and system coordination are required, subject to project environment confirmation.

System Integration

This bin stacker crane can be integrated with:

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

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

Advantages

1. Suitable for High-Density Warehouse Layouts
The overhead rail structure reduces lower aisle occupation and supports better use of high-bay storage space.

2. Defined High-Speed Motion Parameters
The specified 2.5 m/s travel speed, 3 m/s² acceleration, and 1 m/s lifting/fork speed provide a clear basis for system rhythm planning.

3. Suitable for 50 kg Bin-Type Loads
The system is designed for bin-type goods, totes, and small parts up to 50 kg, making it suitable for small-load automated storage applications.

4. Automatic Positioning for Rack Access
The crane supports automatic positioning, which is practical for defined slot handling and repeatable storage/retrieval tasks.

5. WMS/WCS Integration Capability
The system supports warehouse control integration for task scheduling, slot allocation, and inventory visibility.

How to Select

Choose by load type
This model is suitable when the handled goods are bins, totes, or similar small-load units 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 supported range of:

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