Automated Storage Retrieval Crane

FKI Logistex Manufacturing Systems has introduced the Maestro free-roaming storage retrieval crane. The Maestro combines the features of automated storage and retrieval (AS/RS) for aisle operations with the aisle-changing flexibility of a very narrow aisle (VNA) truck. Designed for pallet and case picking applications from 40 to 70 feet, the Maestro features twin masts and PLC controls that provide superior stability, safety and performance. The Maestro is ideal for cold storage applications, including grocery warehouses, and offers a capacity of 3300 lbs. in either a single- or double-deep storage mode. Using synchronized traversing or rotating forks or telescopic shuttles, the Maestro also features an in-aisle battery charging system.
