The configuration of storage equipment is an important part of the storage system planning, which is related to the construction cost and operation cost of the warehouse, and also to the production efficiency and benefits of the warehouse. Storage equipment refers to all technical devices and tools required for storage business, namely, the general term of all kinds of mechanical equipment necessary for production or auxiliary production in the warehouse and to ensure the safety of the warehouse and operation. According to the main uses and characteristics of the equipment, it can be divided into shelf system, loading and unloading equipment, metering and inspection equipment, sorting equipment, maintenance lighting equipment, safety equipment, other supplies and tools, etc.

Next, hagerls warehouse will give you an analysis one by one: how to configure forklift and stacker in the type of three-dimensional warehouse?
Storage equipment: configuration mode of forklift
Forklift is also an important storage equipment facility in the storage shelves. Forklift truck, also known as forklift truck and loading and unloading truck, is composed of straight tires, vertical lifting and tilting forks and gantry. The forklift is mainly used for short-distance handling, small height stacking, loading and unloading of goods. According to its basic structure, forklifts can be divided into counterweight forklift, forward moving forklift, side fork forklift, narrow channel forklift, etc. It is widely used for loading, unloading, stacking and short-distance handling, traction and hoisting of packaged and boxed goods. Forklift is indispensable for the warehousing of three-dimensional warehouse. No matter what kind of automated three-dimensional warehouse, most of the storage and transportation operations are carried out with forklift. Of course, for warehouses with high requirements for automatic operation, unmanned automatic AGV forklift can also be selected.
Forklift features
The forklift has the advantages of high mechanization, good mobility and flexibility, and can “use one machine for multiple purposes”. At the same time, it can also improve the utilization rate of the warehouse volume, which is conducive to the pallet group transportation and container transportation, with low cost and less investment.
Forklift access function
The access function of the forklift is also limited by the lifting height, so it can only be used in the low-level automated three-dimensional warehouse. When the forklift is selected as the access tool for the automated three-dimensional warehouse, it can play the role of strong mobility, good flexibility, and can serve multiple lanes at the same time; The disadvantage is that the stacking height is limited, and the roadway width is required to be wide at this time, which will reduce the utilization rate of the warehouse.
Storage equipment: configuration mode of stacker
The stacker used in ordinary warehouses, also known as the loading machine, is a small movable vertical lifting equipment with simple structure and used to assist manual stacking. The stacker is mainly used to operate in the passageway of the automated three-dimensional warehouse, store the goods at the lane entrance into the cargo space, or take out the goods in the cargo space and transport them to the lane entrance in turn. There are bridge type stacker and tunnel type stacker. It is also because the lifting height of the stacker is high, so it is mostly used in high-rise three-dimensional warehouses.
Configuration mode of stacker
The configuration of stacker can be roughly divided into the following six types, as follows:
◇ basic type
The most basic configuration type of the stacker is: one stacker crane is configured for one lane, that is, when the number of shelves in the warehouse is small and the lanes are small and long, the most basic configuration type can be used when the stacker operation volume in each lane can be fully utilized.
◇ double row configuration type
What is the double row configuration type? The so-called double row configuration type means that one stacking crane has two rows of racks on both sides to load and unload unit goods. The racks are equipped with roller devices with lower side of the roadway and higher inside. When loading, one pallet is loaded first, and then the second one is pushed in; When picking up goods, it is similar to the gravity rack. When the pallet inside the roadway is taken out, the rear pallet will automatically move along the roller to the inside of the roadway. In this configuration, one lane can undertake the loading and unloading operation of four rows of shelves, and the work efficiency is also multiplied. The role of lane stacker can be fully played, and the utilization rate of warehouse capacity can also be improved.
◇ one stacker type is configured for multiple lanes
One stacker is equipped with multiple lanes, that is, when the work volume is not large and the depth of the lane is not enough, so the stacker has more capacity, the stacker transfer track can be set at the end of the rack, so that one stacker can work in multiple lanes, thus reducing the number of stackers. This configuration type also has defects, that is, the stacker needs to occupy a certain space for track transfer, which will reduce the utilization rate of the warehouse capacity. Meanwhile, the warehousing operation will also be affected by the movement of the stacker, so the work efficiency is low.
◇ combined configuration with gravity rack
In fact, it is common for most enterprises to choose this configuration mode.
The combined use of the roadway stacker and the gravity rack can not only greatly improve the working efficiency of the roadway stacker, but also greatly improve the utilization rate of the warehouse and the storage capacity of the warehouse, so as to realize the first in first out of goods. This combined configuration type is an important configuration mode in the inventory of the modern warehouse distribution center, and it is also applicable to the field of rapid entry and exit. The main disadvantage of this configuration is high technical requirements and high construction costs.
◇ matching configuration with cantilever shelf
The gantry stacker is used to cooperate with the cantilevered rack for long materials, and can also be used to access long strip materials such as steel and pipes, so that long strip materials can also be stored in the automated three-dimensional warehouse.
◇ configuration of multi Lane multi stacker and conveyor
The cooperation of multi Lane multi stacker and conveyor can be used in the distribution field of multi batch, small batch and multi variety picking type rapid shipment, and also applicable to the spare parts warehouse of machinery factory.
