Tornado Mini Load AS/RS

How It Works

The Tornado is designed from the ground up to be quick, efficient, and effective in mini-load automated storage and retrieval operations. The mini load crane moves up and down a single aisle to both store and retrieve products in single deep, double deep, or quadruple deep configurations. Depending on your needs, two standard load handling devices are available:

  • TelescopeLoader – for containers and trays in ledger angle racks up to 250kg
  • CartonLoader – for containers and trays on shelf racks up to 70kg

To maximize throughput, two load handling devices can be implemented per mini load crane.

Applications:

  • Distribution centers
  • Production storage
  • Buffer storage
  • Chilled or frozen storage (-28°C)
  • Stainless steel applications in the food & beverage sector (i.e. meat industry)

Features & Benefits

  • Lower operating costs, then other comparable cranes
  • Patented lightweight crane mast minimizes energy consumption and maintenance costs
  • Weight optimization and energy recuperation system decreases lifetime energy costs
  • Modular design for cost-efficient commissioning, transport and installation
  • Reduced spare parts inventory due to unique shared components concept
  • Reliable operation, high uptime and long intervals between servicing
  • Optimized design for easy service and maintenance

Specifications

  • Maximum height: 78 ft. (24 m)
  • Minimum height: 11 ft. (3.5 m)
  • Maximum load weight: 264 lbs. (120 kg)
  • Maximum aisle length: 492 ft. (150 m)
  • Operating temperatures: 23°F to 104°F (-5°C to 40°C)

The above specifications may vary depending upon individual system configuration.
