                      • Stacker Cranes for Pallets and Miniloads

                      • Stacker cranes take over the automated storage and retrieval of pallets and miniloads in the warehouse. Their high and compact design ensures efficient space utilisation in a high-bay warehouse and in a miniload system.

                        The overall performance of the warehouse logistics depends on the storage and retrieval machine. Therefore, when choosing stacker cranes, high quality and performance must be a top priority. The innovative stacker cranes from Kardex Mlog meet these requirements.
