50kg Overhead Stacker Crane High Speed ASRS Bin Automated Stacker Crane

50kg High-Speed ASRS Bin Stacker Crane for Automated Warehouse Systems

Product Overview

The bin stacker crane is an automated storage and retrieval device designed for automated warehouse systems, ASRS applications, and high-bay bin storage projects. It is mainly used for the storage, retrieval, transfer, and slot handling of bin-type goods in warehouse aisles where small-load automation, multi-SKU storage, and high-frequency access are required.

This model adopts an overhead rail structure with suspended rail traveling, allowing the crane to operate above the aisle rather than occupying floor-level transport space. For warehouse projects handling bin-type goods up to 50 kg, this structure is suitable for dense storage layouts and automated aisle operations.

With a maximum horizontal speed of 2.5 m/s, maximum horizontal acceleration of 3 m/s², maximum lifting speed of 1 m/s, and automatic positioning, the equipment is suitable for defined storage and retrieval cycles in high-bay warehouse systems.

Application Background

In automated warehouse and ASRS projects for bin-type goods, the main concerns usually include:

• how to improve space utilization in high-bay rack layouts
• how to support multi-SKU storage with repeated inbound and outbound access
• how to maintain stable automated travel and positioning in narrow aisles
• how to connect storage equipment with WMS/WCS for task scheduling and inventory control
• how to handle bin sizes that vary within a defined project range

For these applications, 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 arrangement is also suitable for warehouse layouts where floor space should remain available for storage structure and related logistics interfaces.

Technical Solution

This ASRS bin 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, the equipment can participate in warehouse scheduling, inventory tracking, task allocation, and route management.

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

Movement Features

• Overhead rail traveling for aisle operation without occupying lower floor conveyor 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
• Sliding contact line power supply for continuous automated operation
• WMS/WCS integration for warehouse control and task coordination

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

Specifications

Specification Notes

• Maximum load 50 kg: suitable for automated storage and retrieval of bin-type goods and small parts
• 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 response during storage and retrieval cycles
• Lifting speed up to 1 m/s: suitable for vertical access in high-bay racking systems
• Fork speed up to 1 m/s: suitable for controlled bin extraction and placement
• Bin size range 100–600 mm / 100–400 mm: suitable for different bin specifications within the project-supported range
• Project-based customization should be confirmed according to aisle layout, rack structure, and software interface requirements

Applications

Automated Warehouse Systems
Used for automated bin storage, retrieval, and slot handling in warehouse environments requiring structured inventory access.

Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS)
Suitable for high-bay ASRS projects where bin-type goods need defined storage and retrieval logic.

High-Bay Bin Storage Systems
Applicable to warehouse layouts that require denser vertical storage of bins, totes, and small containers.

Multi-SKU Small-Part Storage Systems
Used in warehouse projects handling large SKU variety and repeated access to small-part inventory.

E-commerce and Retail Logistics Centers
Suitable for tote-based order storage, replenishment, and automated inventory handling.

Manufacturing Automated Material Storage
Used for components, spare parts, and production support materials that require automated storage access.

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. Defined Motion Performance for ASRS Use
The specified 2.5 m/s horizontal speed, 3 m/s² acceleration, and 1 m/s lifting speed provide a clear basis for warehouse rhythm planning and cycle-time matching.

2. Suitable for 50 kg Bin-Type Goods
The system is designed for bin-type storage up to 50 kg, making it suitable for small-load warehouse automation rather than pallet-class handling.

3. Overhead Structure for Better Floor Space Utilization
Because the crane runs on a suspended rail, it reduces lower aisle occupation and supports denser rack-based storage layouts.

4. WMS/WCS Integration Capability
The system supports task scheduling, inventory tracking, and route management through warehouse control integration.

5. Suitable for Multi-SKU Storage
The supported bin dimension range and automated positioning logic make it suitable for warehouse projects with varied SKU structures.

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
• Height: 100–400 mm

Choose by automation requirement
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.
