Forklift alternatives for all load applications

Stacker cranes are suited to operations with high density storage in confined spaces. Utilising the ‘goods to man’ principle, cranes offer a more productive alternative to forklifts in the management of a high number of storage and retrieval movements.

Cranes make better use of vertical space and can reach higher than forklifts, up to 35 metres. Furthermore, cranes provide an additional benefit in the area of occupational health and safety by keeping pedestrian traffic separated from moving equipment.

Dexion designs and delivers automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) for both pallet load and mini load applications.

In these systems, the choice of crane type and its configuration are based on criteria such as the volume, weight and throughput of the load to be stored and moved.
