Warehouse cranes are classified as UTBs, or handling equipment. In order to operate them, it is necessary to have a certificate from the Office of Technical Inspection confirming that you are qualified. 

Stacker cranes are machines designed to move and stack loads that are stored in warehouses. We can distinguish between the following types of warehouse stacker cranes: 

  • single-column (column), 
  • two-column (frame), 
  • suspended, 
  • cranes (mobile). 

They can also be divided on the basis of steerability: 

  • automatically controlled, 
  • semi-automatically controlled, 
  • manually controlled. 

Stacker cranes can have different picking and feeding mechanisms. There may be a conveyor, gripper or forks fitted to the unit.
