Our multi-aisle "curve-going" crane technology provides the unique ability for a single crane to service a multi-aisle facility, and our patented aisle switching technology is exclusive in the industry. Our customized stacker cranes range from light, order picking cranes with a 100 to 300 Kg (220 to 660 lb) payload and their corresponding handling devices, to heavy stacker cranes capable of lifting payloads of up to 5000 Kg (11,000 lb) to heights of up to 36 m (118 ft). One LTW crane can operate in any number of aisles, allowing warehouse throughput requirements to dictate the proper number of cranes. LTW curve-going technology and lane switching technology is unique and patented, and offers new possibilities for high density warehouse design.
