Every link in the supply chain relies on warehouses to store goods ranging from raw materials to equipment, to finished goods. Storage systems vary widely, including:
- Cantilever racks
- Pallet racks (selective, drive-in, pallet flow, etc.)
- Push-in racks
- Mezzanine storage
- Vertical/horizontal carousels
Warehouses and related facilities, such as distribution and fulfillment centers, require the use of a broad range of material handling solutions to safely and efficiently move, stack, and store goods, materials, and equipment. While many facilities rely on conveyors to move heavy loads, cranes are often more useful because of their versatility.
Cranes can handle a broad variety of load sizes and shapes, offering a flexible solution for many storage applications. Hoists provide vertical movement while trolley-and-track setups facilitate horizontal movement. The most common crane types used in warehouses include:
- Bridge
- Gantry
- Jib
- Stacker
