THE CHALLENGE
To provide the customer with equipment to lift products safely and efficiently on and off of shelves in a warehouse area where using a standard forklift would be difficult.
THE SOLUTION
American Crane designed, manufactured, tested and installed a custom stacker crane that can manuever between the narrow aisles of this product storage area.
THE RESULT
The stacker crane increased the speed of material storage and retrieval in this warehouse space without compromising safety. Features for this stacker crane include a 360 degree rotating mast along with a fail safe braking system to prevent dropped loads, should hoist or hoist chain fail.
