High Speed Asrs Stacker Crane Automated WCS 2.5m/S Warehouse Stacker Crane

High-Speed Bin Stacker Crane for Smart Warehouse Storage and Automated Bin Handling

Product Overview

The bin stacker crane is an automated storage and retrieval device designed for smart warehouse storage, high-density bin handling, and small-load AS/RS applications. It is mainly used for the automated handling of bins, totes, and other small-part storage units inside high-bay warehouse aisles.

This model adopts an overhead rail structure with suspended rail traveling, which allows the equipment to operate above the aisle rather than occupying floor-level transport space. For warehouse projects handling bin-type goods with a maximum single load of 50 kg, this structure is suitable for dense storage layouts and automated aisle access.

The system combines horizontal travel, lifting motion, and fork transfer within one 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 that require defined operating rhythm and system coordination.

Application Background

In smart warehouse projects for bins and small parts, the main operational concerns usually include:

• how to improve storage density without occupying too much floor space
• how to keep storage and retrieval movement stable inside high-bay aisles
• how to support repeated access to multiple SKUs within one warehouse system
• how to connect storage equipment with WMS/WCS for scheduling and inventory control
• how to match different bin sizes within one system range

For these applications, a bin stacker crane with overhead rail traveling provides a practical solution because the equipment runs above the aisle and helps preserve lower space for racking layout and storage configuration. This makes it suitable for warehouse projects where small-part handling, automated retrieval, and space utilization are important.

Technical Solution

This bin stacker crane is built around an overhead rail structure, lifting mechanism, and fork device 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 power supply and supports automatic positioning for access to defined storage locations. It can also be integrated with WMS/WCS to support task dispatching, storage assignment, and warehouse control logic.

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

Movement Features

• Overhead rail traveling for aisle operation without occupying 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 running
• WMS/WCS integration for warehouse automation coordination

Application Boundary

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

It is mainly intended for:

• bin-type goods
• totes
• 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 storage. If the project requires pallet access, pallet stacker cranes, or floor-based heavy-duty transfer equipment, 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 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 structure, and control logic matching

Applications

Smart Warehouse Systems
Used for automated bin storage and retrieval in digitally managed warehouse environments.

Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS)
Suitable for high-bay bin access projects that require defined storage and retrieval logic.

High-Density Bin Storage Systems
Applicable to warehouse layouts that need compact storage of bins, totes, or small containers.

E-commerce Logistics Centers
Used for multi-SKU small goods storage and automated bin handling in fulfillment operations.

Manufacturing Material Warehousing
Suitable for automated storage and retrieval of components, spare parts, and production support materials.

Automated Small-Part Storage Systems
Used where repeated access to small items and defined bin positioning are required.

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 bin stacker crane is used as a core storage and retrieval unit within a complete automated warehouse system, rather than as a 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 storage layouts.

2. Suitable for High-Density Bin Handling
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. WMS/WCS Integration Capability
The system supports warehouse control integration and can be used in automated scheduling and inventory coordination projects.

5. Flexible Bin Size Range
The configurable bin dimension range supports different tote or bin specifications within the stated limits.

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 storage 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 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.
